Device
Architecture
The DNA/DNR-AI-208 Analog Input Layer board has eight individual analog
input channels. A Block Diagram of the board/layer is shown in

Layer
Connectors
and Wiring
Two D/A converters produce excitation voltages. The first converter drives exci-
tation on even numbered channels, and the second one to odd numbered chan-
nels. Excitation voltage can be switched on and off on a per-channel basis.
When an AI-208 performs continuous acquisition, it applies voltage to the next
channel in the channel list while acquiring the current channel. This technique
gives a channel enough time to settle and limits current consumption and heat
dissipation by the layer.
