CSE-8225 Analog to Digital Converter
Very Low Noise, Highly Configurable, 8-Channel Analog to Digital Converter
Designed with configurability and customization in mind, the Coda Octopus Colmek CSE-8225 board offers the latest analog to digital functionality.
The CSE-8225 analog-to-digital converter provides eight channels of 24-bit Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Conversion with differential inputs and a maximum input range of +/-5V at unity gain on a full length PCI card. Linking 4 cards together allows for 32 fully differential input channels per system.
The configurable front-end of the CSE-8225 provides the user with a flexible solution for a wide range of applications. The gain for each channel can be individually set in a range of 1/4 to 4096 in steps of 2. Each channel also has configurable high pass and low pass filtering stages.
The CSE-8225 provides compatibility with current popular software environments and allows users to safely and simply expand their existing hardware and software systems. The CSE-8225 is supplied with drivers for Windows 2000, XP and Vista as well as distributions of Linux based on the v2.6 kernel. RTOS and general purpose drivers are available on request.
The supplied driver automatically detects and initializes all cards installed in a system, providing a single interface to access their functionality. The efficient software interface minimizes configuration errors and speeds the integration process.
If your application demands a custom approach, Coda Octopus Colmek engineers are at the ready. Our staff has the ability to design an acquisition package which meets your most demanding requirements. From rapid prototyping and low volume production runs to larger scale builds, our responsiveness is a benefit to any customer needing an immediate data acquisition solution.
