The Measurement Computing/IOtech ADAC/5502MF-V is a PCI data acquisition board delivering 12-bit analog input at 100 kHz maximum throughput with configurable gain stages and flexible channel selection. This card integrates 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs (expandable to 64), 16 TTL digital I/O lines, optional dual 16-bit DACs, and dual counter/timer channels into a single-slot form factor.
