The KAD/DAC/001 can be used to output up to eight single-ended waveforms, and provide up to 16 discrete output indications.
The module is able to take any parameter from the backplane and, using a user-defined lookup table, map that parameter to the output voltage range of the analog output channel. A different map can be used for each of the eight analog channels.
Each of the discrete outputs can be set to a logic high or low based on a combination of input words. The input words are passed through a user-defined mapping function, which produces a single bit output. A typical example would be a max-min. window function to determine if a parameter lies in a defined range.
The outputs from the mapping functions can be either logically ANDed or ORed together, and inverted if required, in order to control the discrete output.
Features
- Eight single-ended (S/E) analog output channels (±10V)
- 0.25% (FSR) total error from all sources for analog output
- Lookup tables to map input parameter to analog output
- 16 S/E discrete output channel (Buffered TTL)
- Combinatorial logic can be used to map multiple parameters to a single discrete output
- Outputs are short-circuit protected (indefinite to ground)
Applications
- Output a voltage waveform based on backplane parameters, for example for a strip recorder
- Provide discrete outputs based on backplane parameters, for example memory status
