Measurement Computing CIO-DAS1402/16 Data Acquisition and Control Board

The Measurement Computing CIO-DAS1402/16 is an ISA bus data acquisition and control board engineered for precision measurement and automation tasks. It delivers 16-bit analog input resolution across 16 single-ended or 8 differential channels, with programmable input ranges from ±10 V to ±1.25 V (bipolar) and 0 to 10 V to 0 to 1.25 V (unipolar). The board achieves ±0.0015% accuracy with ±1.5 LSB linearity error, supported by a programmable gain amplifier offering gains of 1, 2, 4, and 8. Maximum throughput reaches 100 kHz with a 10 µs conversion time and 512-sample FIFO buffer for burst-mode acquisition.
