ADLINK ACL-8216 - Manual (Page 10)

2 • Introduction
The ACL-8216 series is designed to combine all the data acquisition
functions, such as A/D, D/A, DIO, and timer/counter in a single board, The
high-end specifications of the card makes it ideal for wide range of
applications requiring high resolution 16-bit data acquisition at low cost. The
Figure 1.1 shows the block diagram of the ACL-8216.
The ACL-8216 Series features 16 single-ended inputs or 8 differential inputs
at up to 100 Khz, 2 channels multiplying 12-bit double-buffered analog output,
16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs, and one timer/counter channel.
