Introduction
PCLD-789D is a front-end signal conditioning and channel multiplexing daughterboard for use with PC-LabCard™ product’s analog input ports. It multiplexes 16 differential input
channels into a single A/D converter input channel. You can cascade up to ten PCLD-789Ds, allowing a single data acquisition card to access 160 analog input channels.
PCLD-789D has DB37 and 20-pin flat cable connectors and lets your PCL-818L or PCL-818HD access up to 128 channels without using an additional digital output cable to select
channels. The PCLD-789D uses a high-grade instrumentation amplifier that provides switch-selectable gains of 1, 2, 10, 50, 100, 200 and 1,000. This amplifier lets you accurately
measure low-level signals with your PC-LabCard™ product. The board also contains a cold-junction sensing circuit that allows direct temperature measurement from thermocouple
transducers. A wide variety of thermocouples are supported with software compensation and linearization.
