1.Introduction

1.1General Description

The OME-A-822PGL/PGH is a high performance, multifunction analog, digital I/O board for PC AT compatible computers. The OME-A-822PGL provides low gain (0.5,1, 2, 4, 8). The OME-A-822PGH provides high gain (0.5,1,5,10,50,100,500,1000). The OME-A-822PGL/PGH contains a 12-bit ADC with up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs. The maximum sample rate of the A/D converter is 100Ksample/sec. There are two 12-bit DACs with voltage output, 16 channels of TTL-compatible digital input, 16 channels of TTL-compatible digital output and one 16-bit counter/timer channel for timing input and output.

The following A/D performance bench marks were achieved on a 33MHz 486 computer:

z

Polling mode

: about 100Ksample/sec (with single-task OS)

z

Interrupt mode

: about 60Ksample/sec (with single-task OS)

z

DMA mode

: about 100Ksample/sec (with single-task OS)
