Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Adept Scientific (Letchworth, Herts, UK) has added United Electronic Industries (UEI; Walpole, MA) Guardian DNA/DNR-DIO-432 and -433 industrial digital output boards to its range of data acquisition hardware.
The DNA models are designed for use with UEI's Ethernet Cube family (PowerDNA, UEIPAC, UEILogger, and Modbus 'Cubes'). The DNR models are designed for UEI's 12-slot rack-mounted RACKtangle I/O chassis.
Each board provides 32 channels of digital output — up to 600mA per-channel continuous current with an output voltage drop of less than 550mV. The -432 version outputs are configured as current sources; the -433 as current sinks. The output ports are configured as single 32-bit words, the maximum output throughput rate is 1Ksps, and the boards have an operating range of 3.3 to 36VDC.
As part of the Guardian design the boards offer an input mode that monitors the output voltage and current of each channel and easily detects opens, shorts, and off-normal operation. In addition, channels not used as digital outputs can be used to measure 0-36VDC analogue voltage inputs with ±10mV accuracy.
Each channel also offers a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) 'soft-start/stop' feature that applies and removes power gradually, increasing the life and reliability of devices and components affected by thermal shock.
Software is provided in the UEIDAQ Framework API, which interfaces to all popular programming languages, operating systems and data acquisition/control application packages (LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, and DASYLab).
