1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Amplicon 200 Series
The Amplicon 200 Series of Personal Computer based data acquisition products provides very
high performance, affordable hardware with comprehensive software support. The 200 Series is
designed for users requiring fast or complex data input/output to the host PC and comprises a
range of boards and software to handle most analog and digital signal types.
When a large scale system is required, multiple boards can be added from the 200 Series
without conflict. The capacity of the PC mounted hardware can be extended by external
expansion panels to provide a comprehensive system with low cost per channel and maintained
high performance.
1.2 The 200 Series Digital I/O Counter/Timer Family
The family of 200 Series digital input/output products may be configured in a variety of ways to
provide flexible, expansible systems.
Five digital input/output boards with timer/counter facilities are offered. These five boards are
complemented by four external panels for signal conditioning and user connection through
individual terminals. Support and demonstration software for all variants is offered.
A full, itemised list of hardware products is shown below, and a configurator diagram showing
how these products interact is also given. To complete the family, a common software package
supports all digital I/O boards and the expansion panels.
1.2.1 Typical Applications
• TTL compatible digital input/output
• Relay output with isolated contacts, high level ground referenced source drivers (any
combination)
• Isolated high or low level digital input, ground referenced high or low level digital input (any
combination)
• Interrogation of contact closure matrix - up to 1296 points per PC272E
• Elapsed time, period, frequency measurement
• Differential, ratiometric count
• Monostable and astable generation
• Frequency division, frequency multiplication, digitally controlled oscillator
• Voltage controlled oscillator (in conjunction with PC226E, PC30AT, PC26AT or PC27E)
