Introduction
PCL-836 is a general purpose counter/timer and digital I/O card for PC/AT compatible computers. It provides six 16-bit counter channels. It also includes 16 digital outputs and 16
digital inputs. Two 8254 chips provide a variety of powerful counter/timer function modes to match your industrial and/or laboratory applications.
Unique Digital Filter
PCL-836 includes a unique digital filter to eliminate noise on the input signal. The frequency can be adjusted to provide more stable output readings.
