The APC730 line of multifunction I/O boards are designed for desktop PCI applications. The AcPC730 line is available for CompactPCI applications. Both combine the capabilities of four separate I/O boards on a single card and perform analog input, analog output, digital I/O, and counter/timer functions from a single slot.

Analog input functions are handled by 16 differential or 32 single-ended input channels with four selectable unipolar and bipolar input ranges up to 10 Vdc. A 16-bit A/D converter with 512 sample RAM scans inputs in 10 S per channel for 100 KHz throughput.

For analog output functions, eight channels are provided with 䔮 V signal range. Each channel has a 16-bit D/A converter to deliver 80.8 KHz processing speed with a 12.375 S settling time.

Standard models are priced at $1,600. Extended temperature models are $1,700.
