Microstar Laboratories DAP 5000a PCI data acquisition board

The DAP 5000a from Microstar Laboratories is suitable for applications that require Pentium-powered real-time processing under Windows. Even at maximum sampling rates, the combination of a fast processor with low latency - 0.1 ms task time quantum - allows computation in real time between samples and on-time response for control applications.

It comes with an onboard 233 MHz Intel Pentium processor with 32M of DRAM onboard memory and is compatible with other a-Series boards.

Using a PCI bus for PC-based platforms, data is transferred to the PC at high rates - up to 1666 kSa/s. The data acquisition controller provides 14-bit A/D converter resolution, samples analog inputs at up to 800 kSa/s, updates analog outputs at up to 833 kSa/s each and has expandable analog and digital inputs/outputs.
