The Measurement Computing / IOtech DaqBoard/2005 is a 16-bit PCI data acquisition board engineered for high-performance analog measurement and data logging. It delivers up to 200 kHz sampling rate, capturing fast-changing signals with precision across 16 single-ended or 8 differential input channels. The board employs PCI bus mastering and DMA for efficient PC data transfer, backed by 512-location Channel/Gain FIFO buffering and 100% digital calibration.
