AT-MIO-16D User Manual
With the AT-MIO-16D, the PC can serve as a digital I/O system controller for laboratory testing,
production testing, and industrial process monitoring and control.
The AT-MIO-16D is interfaced to the National Instruments RTSI bus. With this bus, National
Instruments AT Series boards can send timing signals to each other. The AT-MIO-16D can send
signals from the onboard counter/timer to another board, or another board can control single and
multiple A/D conversions on the AT-MIO-16D.
The AT-MIO-16D is available in two gain ranges. The AT-MIO-16DL-9 has
software-programmable gain settings of 1, 10, 100, and 500 for low-level analog input signals.
The AT-MIO-16DH-9 has software-programmable gain settings of 1, 2, 4, and 8 for high-level
analog input signals. The AT-MIO-16D contains an ADC with a 9-
µ
sec conversion time, and is
capable of data acquisition rates of up to 100 kbytes/sec.
Detailed specifications for the AT-MIO-16D are listed in Appendix A, Specifications.
