ProDAQ 3610 48-Channel Digital-I/O Function Card

  • 48 TTL Channels
  • 3 MHz Maximum Update Rate
  • Configurable as Input/Output in Groups of 8 Channel
  • Flexible Triggering
  • 2 kSample or 16 kSample on-board FIFO
  • Up to 384 Digital-I/O Channels per VXIbus Slot
The ProDAQ 3610 High Speed Digital Input/ Output Function Card is one of the ProDAQ high density cards, which can be fitted into the ProDAQ Motherboards. ProDAQ modules are the most versatile VXIbus modules in the market. They provide the user with the highest channel density and functionality available today.

This High Speed Digital I/O Card has 48 Channels and is designed for demanding applications ranging from normal slow digital input/output to high speed pattern generation and pattern recongnition. It provides the user with a remark-able number of 384 input/output channels if eight Digital I/O function cards are fitted to one ProDAQ Mother Board.

The 48 channels can be configured as input or output channels in groups of 8. To achieve high throuput rates, a 16 bit 2K or 16K FIFO is used for the data handling. The ProDAQ 3610 can also operate in repetive input/output mode. Furthermore a strobed input/output is possible.

The input triggers can come either from the motherboard or from the front panel as an active low TTL level. It can be generated by the system clock or by a clock divider. For more demanding trigger needs the first 8 bits of the input can also be used as trigger inputs. The output triggers can be directed either to the motherboard as pulse or level trigger, to the VXI backplane or to the output connector.

An alarm trigger can be generated after a predefined time, by the FIFO or by Software Command.

The ProDAQ 3610 High Speed Digital I/O Function Card is supplied with VXIplug&play drivers, that can be used with all popular software packages. The driver automatically detects and initializes all the function cards installed in one of the ProDAQ motherboard modules, removing any possibility of configuration errors.

The ProDAQ modules allow the user to safely and simply expand their existing hardware and software systems.
