516 Devices and
DAQCard-500/700 Devices
This chapter contains overview information on the DAQCard-500,
DAQCard-516, DAQCard-700, and PC-516.
516 Devices and DAQCard-500/700 Analog Input
The DAQCard-500 provides eight multiplexed, single-ended analog input
channels. The DAQCard-700 provides 16 multiplexed, single-ended or
eight multiplexed differential analog input channels. The analog input
channels for both are driven into a 12-bit ADC. Neither device has gains on
the analog input.
The 516 devices have eight single-ended or four differential analog inputs.
Both devices use a 16-bit ADC and have no gains.
You can configure the DAQCard-700 analog input for three different
bipolar input ranges:
• −2.5 to +2.5 V
• −5 to +5 V
• −10 to +10 V
You can configure the 516 devices and the DAQCard-500 for only the
−5 to +5 V range.
You can initiate A/D conversions through software or by applying active
low pulses to the EXTCONV* input on the device I/O connector.
A 512-word-deep FIFO memory on the DAQCard-700 stores up to
512 A/D conversion results. On the DAQCard-500, a 16-word-deep FIFO
stores up to 16 A/D conversion results. The DAQCard-516 has a
512-word-deep FIFO; the PC-516 has a 16-word-deep FIFO.
