Appendix F. Screw-terminal Board
F.1 Introduction
The PCLD-8710 Screw-terminal Board provides convenient and
reliable signal wiring for the PCI-1710/1710L/1710HG/1710HGL/
1711/1711L/1716/1716L, both of which have a 68-pin SCSI-II
connector.
This screw terminal board also includes cold junction sensing circuitry
that allows direct measurement of thermocouples transducers.
Together with software compensation and linearization, every
thermocouple type can be accommodated.
Due to its special PCB layout you can install passive components to
construct your own signal-conditioning circuits. The user can easily
construct a low-pass filter, attenuator or current shunt converter by
adding resistors and capacitors on to the board’s circuit pads.
This appendix is a brief introduction for the PCLD -8710 Screw-
terminal Board. Please refer to the User’s Manual of PCLD-8710 for
detailed information.
