Product Specifications
Analog Outputs
The ACAO-12-2 features two analog outputs; the ACAO-12-8 includes eight analog output channels.
Analog Output Ranges
The ACAO can output either voltage or current. Selectable voltage ranges include 0–5V, 0–10V, and ±5V;
current is output in the 4-20mA range only.
Resolution
The ACAO can operate with resolution of up to 12 bits.
Speed
The ACAO has a maximum output rate of 130kHz on a standard IBM PC running at 4.77MHz (rates are
somewhat faster in faster computers).
For the multi-channel output rate, divide the maximum 130kHz rate by the number of channels using an
assembly language program.
