Interface to any analog sensor or actuator with eight 16-bit analog inputs and eight 12-bit analog outputs.
This general purpose Analog I/O Wildcard features eight channels unipolar, single-ended or four channels unipolar, differential 16-bit resolution analog voltage inputs and eight channels of 12-bit resolution analog voltage outputs. Inputs and outputs use onboard or external references, and the onboard references are optionally provided as excitations for external circuitry.
This tiny 2" by 2.5" module is a member of the WildcardTM series that connects to any of Mosaic's controllers. A field header brings out the analog I/O signals for the reference, DAC outputs, and A/D inputs.
Pre-coded Software
A package of pre-coded device driver functions makes it easy to use the Analog I/O Wildcard. High level functions initialize the A/D and DAC, acquire 16-bit samples from the A/D, and write 12-bit values to the DAC. This code is available as a pre-compiled "kernel extension" library to C and Forth programmers.
