United Electronic Industries (UEI; Walpole, MA) released the DNA-AO-332 high-density analog output board that lets the Cube platforms address control applications across several industries.

The board provides 32 channels of 16-bit resolution analog output with a ±10V output range. The new board is capable of driving ±10mA while per-channel digital offset and gain calibration limits gain/offset errors to ±450microV and ±305microV respectively. Compatible with UEI's PowerDNA, UEIPAC, and UEIModbus "Cubes," the DNA-AO-332 provides up to 192 analog outputs in a single, 4 in. by 4 in. by 5.8 in. cube.

A 1024 sample FIFO on each channel allows each D/A to be updated at 10kHz without data loss. Double buffering the outputs combined with the use of low glitch D/As make the DNA-AO-332 an ideal solution for generating low frequency waveforms or providing highly accurate switched stimuli. All outputs may be set to update simultaneously if desired.

Software for the DNA-AO-332 is provided in the UEIDAQ Framework. The Framework provides a comprehensive, easy to use API that supports all popular programming and operating systems including Windows, Vista, Linux and most real-time operating systems (e.g. QNX, RTX, RT Linux). Finally, the board is fully supported by LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, DASYLab, or any application supporting ActiveX, OPC or Modbus TCP control.

The DNA-AO-332 is priced at $2400.

A full description of "Cube" is available from UEI.
