Diamond Mints “World’s First” FeaturePak DAQ Module

Diamond Systems Corp., a leading supplier of ruggedized single-board computers (SBCs) and I/O expansion modules targeting real-world applications, today unveiled the world’s first data acquisition I/O module compatible with the newly-introduced FeaturePak embedded I/O expansion module standard. Despite its diminutive size (see actual size photo, below), the FP-DAQ1616 integrates Diamond’s newest and fastest analog I/O technology, and interfaces to host systems via the FeaturePak host interface’s high-speed PCI Express bus interface.

The FP-DAQ1616 provides sixteen 16-bit A/D inputs, sampling at 2MHz and supported with a generous 16K-sample FIFO for reliable data collection in any environment. Advanced A/D features include programmable input ranges, polarity, mode, and FIFO threshold. The module also offers sixteen 16-bit D/A output channels, with programmable range and polarity.
Another important of the FP-DAQ1616 is its industry-leading autocalibration technology, with independent calibration factors for each input and output range, which ensures maximum A/D and D/A accuracy across all operating modes and throughout the entire -40oC to +85oC extended operating temperature range.

Other features provided by the tiny FeaturePak module include seven 8-bit digital I/O ports (with a mix of bit-wide and byte-wide direction control), two 32-bit up/down counter/timers with programmable input source and gate, four 24-bit pulse-width modulation circuits with 0-100% duty cycle, and a watchdog timer.
