Introduction
The ACL-8112 is a high performance, high speed multi -function data
acquisition card for the IBM PC or compatible computers.
The ACL-8112 series is designed to combine all the data acquisition
functions, such as A/D, D/A, DIO, and timer/counter in a single board, The
high-end specifications of the card makes it ideal for wide range of
applications requiring high speed 12-bit data acquisition at low cost. The
Figure 1.1 shows the block diagram of the ACL-8112.
The ACL-8112 Series consists of three products, the ACL-8112HG, ACL-
8112DG and ACL-8112PG. The ACL-8112HG provides special high-gain
programmable instrument amplifier for low level input applications, such
as measure thermocouple signals. The ACL-8112DG provides high
speed sample rate ( up to 100 Khz) at all gains ( x1, x2, x4, and x8). The
ACL-8112PG provides 16 single-ended inputs at up to 100 KHz and 5
levels of gain (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16)
The ACL-8112 Series features 16 single-ended inputs or 8 differential
inputs at up to 90 Khz, 2 channels multiplying 12-bit double-buffered
analog output, 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs, and one
timer/counter channel.
