The Signal Conditioning WildcardTM

Interface to Analog Sensors and Actuators

unipolar & differential 16 bit & 12 bit resolution analog inputs & outputs

The Signal Conditioning Wildcard is used with the Analog I/O Wildcard to increase its input and output voltage range and to add 4-20 mA current input and output capability.

The Signal Conditioning Wildcard amplifies four DAC outputs on the Analog I/O Wildcard to provide 0 to 10V outputs and attenuates four A/D inputs to allow voltages up to 10 volts. It also converts the other four DAC outputs on the Analog I/O Wildcard to 0 to 20 mA outputs and converts the other four A/D inputs to 0 to 20 mA inputs.

This Wildcard is easily customized for other input/output voltage or current ranges.
