Introduction
The 6208 series products are multi-channel analog output cards. They
include the following three products:
• cPCI/PCI-6208V: 8-CH voltage output card for cPCI/PCI interface
• cPCI/PCI-6208A: 8-CH voltage and current output card for
cPCI/PCI interface
• PCI-6216V: 16-CH voltage output card for PCI interface
cPCI/PCI-6208V:
cPCI/PCI-6208V is a high-density analog output card with 8 identical
voltage output channels. Each channel is equipped with B.B.PCM56U
which is a state-of-the-art fully monotonic, digital to analog converter.
This device employs ultra-stable nichrome (NiCr) thin-film resistors to
provide monotonicity, low distortion, and low differential linearity error
over long period of time.
PCI-6216V:
cPCI/PCI-6216V is a high-density analog voltage output card, it is a
combination of cPCI/PCI-6208 with EXP-8V daughter board. The EXP-
8V is an extended board which includes extra 8 voltage output
channels.
cPCI/PCI-6208A:
cPCI/PCI-6208A is a high-density current source output card, it is a
combination of cPCI/PCI-6208V with EXP-8A daughter board. The EXP-
8A includes 8 precision voltage-to-current converters which convert
voltage outputs from cPCI/PCI-6028V to current source outputs.
