Features
The DT3010 Series consists of the following high-speed, multifunction board types for the PCI
bus: DT3010, DT3010-268, DT3010/32, DT3010/32-268, and DT3016. These board types differ
in analog I/O resolution, output FIFO (first-in, first-out buffer) size, throughput, and
connectors as shown in
Table 1 .
All DT3010 Series boards share the following major features:
• Programmable bipolar (±10 V) and unipolar (0 to 10 V) input ranges with gains of 1, 2, 4,
and 8
• Continuously-paced and triggered scan capability
• A 1024-location channel list that supports sampling analog input channels at the same or
different gains in sequential or random order
• Up to 256 scans per trigger for a total of 262,144 samples per trigger
• PCI bus mastering for data transfers
• Pre-, post-, and about-trigger acquisition modes to acquire data relative to an external
event using computer memory
• Internal and external clock sources; one external clock input for the analog input
subsystem and one external clock input for the analog output subsystem
• Analog threshold triggering using either an external analog input or one of the analog
input channels; a separate DAC sets the trigger level (8-bit resolution, fixed hysteresis)
