The DA8150c is the fastest 6U cPCI based Arbitrary Waveform Generator in the world with 8 analog output channels. The DA8150cincorporates advanced features such as programmable segment sizes, up to 32K programmable segments, and programmable loop counts from 1 to 64K (plus continuous). It also includes 512 KiloWord of memory behind each channel. Using the standard cPCI architecture, the DA8150c provides orders of magnitude faster upload rates than GPIB.
Extendible Although the DA8150c is feature rich, you can extend this card by using a super stable and programmable external clock source such as the CG400 with 0.2 Hz resolution and 1PPM stability, or simply add up to (4) cards to a PC and get 32 high speed arbitrary channels, all synchronized. Also, you can call Acquitek for customized configurations and for porting the DA8150c design to other form factors. Memory The DA8150c comes standard with 512 kW of sample memory on-board. Memory is accessed automatically when the user creates their data arrays and calls a simple software function provided by Acquitek. The DA8150c driver software manipulates the data segments (user arrays) and uploads them automatically to the card. Also, by allowing each segment the ability to loop independently, the effective amount of memory can be 1000’s of times the physical memory. Software Drivers, User Interface A universal DLL is available for Windows 95/98/NT/2000 /XP. LabVIEW driver is also available. Linux has grown in popularity and Acquitek has committed to this open platform. A simple debug Graphical User Interface (GUI) software is included with the drivers. Call Acquitek for drivers for other operating systems. Ideal for Embedded Systems The DA8150c is ideal for embedded applications where a benchtop instrument simply won’t fit the space desired or will bust the budget for the project. It provides OEMs and system builders a way to develop smaller, more efficient (faster transfer rates), and less expensive solutions than any benchtop or tethered products using GPIB. Applications
