DAC488HR

The DAC488HR™ is an IEEE 488 programmable 16-bit D/A converter. It can be configured with either two or four output channels, which are optically isolated from each other and from IEEE 488 common by up to 500 VDC. Each channel is independently programmable for 1, 2, 5, or 10 VFS unipolar or bipolar output, specified as either bits or volts in ASCII, integer, hexadecimal, or binary format. Multiple output modes, multiple clock and trigger sources, and buffer management enable the DAC488HR to function as a precision voltage source, a function generator, or an arbitrary waveform generator.

Waveforms captured by IOtech's 16-bit, 100-kHz ADC488A series (see p. 243) digitizers can be edited and transferred to the DAC488HR for output. The ADC488A™ series and DAC488HR in combination form a powerful waveform I/O system. Typical applications include transducer simulation, disk drive testing, vibration analysis, and materials testing.
