The SCD-116D-3 is a 16-channel plug-in signal conditioning card for use in Curtiss-Wright’s EDAU-20XX and CDAU-20XX products. The card is intended for applications that require high channel density and significant signal conditioning flexibility and/or simultaneous sampling capability.
The card provides constant voltage excitation, programmable presample filtering, calibration, and user-programmable gain and offset. FIR or IIR digital presample filtering may be selected. Each digital filter is phase-locked to the channel format sample rate to maintain time correlation between the input signal and the PCM output.
The filter can be set for 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 10 times oversampling (the filter -3dB point will be automatically set to the format sampling rate divided by the oversampling value). Alternatively, a filter with a user-specified -3dB frequency that falls within limits calculated by Curtiss-WrightWare may be selected. The conditioned analog signal is digitized at up to 16-bit resolution for transmission in the system PCM output format.
