DAQ-STC3
The DAQ-STC3 and DAQ-6202 implement a high-performance digital
engine for X Series data acquisition hardware. Some key features of this
engine include the following:
• Flexible AI and AO sample and convert timing
• Many triggering modes
• Independent AI, AO, DI, DO, and counter FIFOs
• Generation and routing of RTSI signals for multi-device
synchronization
• Generation and routing of internal and external timing signals
•Four flexible 32-bit counter/timer modules with hardware gating
• Digital waveform acquisition and generation
• Static DIO signals
•True 5 V high current drive DO
• DI change detection
• DO watchdog timers
• PLL for clock synchronization
• Seamless interface to signal conditioning accessories
• PCI Express/PXI Express interface
• Independent scatter-gather DMA controllers for all acquisition and
generation functions
