United Electronic Industries (UEI) released the DNA- and DNR-AI-217 analog input boards. The boards provide 16 differential channels of 24-bit, analog inputs with seven software programmable input ranges from ±10 to ±0.156 Volts full scale. The A/D per channel configuration eliminates the noise and offset errors associated with multiplexed inputs and, at the same time, allows all 16 channels to be sampled simultaneously. Both boards offer 30 kS/s sampling rates per channel and 480 kS/s aggregate for an entire board. The new board is pin-for-pin compatible with UEI’s popular DNx-AI-207 series and provides an easy upgrade to a higher speed, higher accuracy solution.
The DNA version of the board is designed for mounting in UEI’s 6-slot PowerDNA UEIPAC, UEISIM, and UEIModbus “Cubes”. The DNR version is designed for use with the 6- or 12-slot rack-mounted HalfRACK and RACKtangle chassis.
Software for the boards includes support for all popular operating systems including Windows, Linux, QNX, VxWorks, and more. Windows/Vista software for the DNA/DNR-AI-217 is provided in the UEIDAQ Framework. The Framework provides an API that supports popular programming languages and DAQ applications, including LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, DASYLab, or any application supporting ActiveX, OPC, or Modbus TCP control.
