16 bit PCI-bus analog output board

November 2002 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

The PCI-766 is an advanced multichannel analog output board. It is ideally suited for aerospace, laser, ATE or industrial control applications.

Boards have 8, 16 or 24 analog (±10 V) output channels with full 16 bit resolution. DAC channels are arranged in banks of four with up to a total of six banks supported (24 channels). These PCI boards have been designed especially to meet the high reliability and accuracy expectations of aerospace engineers and all users needing long term reliability under extreme operating conditions.

System capability is achieved by using the PCI-766 together with the appropriate cables, adapters and switching modules. Only 10 minutes to a system - do not waste hours or days making up cables and adapters. Boards, cables, adapters and modules are already built-up for immediate use. Extensive software programs are provided, including the new WaveView for Windows software which can also be downloaded from our website: www.eagledaq.com
