What is an analog to digital converter?

The term A / D converter stands for a component for converting analog input signals into a digital data stream that can be processed by the computer. There are different conversion methods which differ mainly in speed, accuracy and noise immunity. For this reason, different conversion methods are used, for example, for temperature measurement and rapid signal sampling. The A / D converter is the basic requirement so that the computer can process the analog input signals of various sensors.

What ia a digital to analog converter?

The term D / A converter stands for a component for converting the digital data of the computer into an analog signal. This analog output signal can then be used, for example, to control a speed controller or other assemblies with a voltage input.

PCI cards with analog inputs and outputs for measurement technology

The PCI cards from the Messcomp® with up to 64 analog inputs and eight analog outputs are ideal for use both in the laboratory and in industrial control. The analog inputs have the usual input voltage ranges of up to +/- 10 volts and sampling rates of up to 200 kHz in professional control technology. The analog outputs deliver a current of 5 mA with a voltage range of up to +/- 10 volts. Usually a connector with TTL inputs and outputs is available on these PCI cards for switching purposes. The inputs and outputs are preferably used with the KM modules with electrical isolation to minimize interference. PC cards with PCI bus are increasingly being replaced by the PCI Express bus. For new developments, we recommend using PCIe bus cards from Messcomp® .
