New 25-Channel, 24-bit Analog Input Board

By DE Editors

United Electronic Industries (UEI; Canton, MA) has released the DNA-AI-225 analog input board. The new board features 25 differential input channels with 24-bit resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 1 ksps per channel (25 ksps aggregate for the board).

The AI-225 has a separate A/D converter for each channel. This configuration eliminates the noise and offset errors associated with multiplexed inputs, and it allows all 25 channels to be sampled simultaneously.

Using the DNA-AI-225, up to 150 analog input channels fit in a single 4 in. X 4 in. X 5.8 in. Ethernet-based I/O Cube. The board includes software drivers for all popular Windows programming languages and applications including LabVIEW and MATLAB. Drivers are also included for Linux, RTX, Linux RT, and most other real-time operating systems. QNX drivers are also available.

The DNA-AI-225 is priced at $1,600.       

PowerDNA (Distributed Networked Automation) is a compact (4 in. X 4 in. X 4 in. or 4 in. X 4 in. X 5.8 in.) Ethernet-based data acquisition and control device. Each PowerDNA Cube consists of a core module (that holds the processor and network interface) along with three or six open I/O slots or layers.
