Overview
cChicoPlus is a Data Acquisition PCI Board
loaded with I/O features that make the card ideal for a large
variety of jobs. These include: Data Logging, Data Acquisition
Systems, Arbitrary Waveform Generation, High Speed Data Acquisition.
Each cChicoPlus may host one Data
Acquisition OMNIBUS I/O module, which offer simultaneous
multichannel analog and digital I/O suitable for the most demanding
applications.
cChicoPlus also has a set of standard
peripherals which includes: 32 bits of digital I/O, two
timer/counters, super-accurate programmable clock (DDS), automatic
gain/channel list, FIFOPort for multicard interfacing, and ClkLink/SyncLink
for multicard synchronization.
A typical Data Acquisition System built
with ChicoPlus might be for a Vibration Monitoring system with 128
channels of 195ksps 16 bit samples. This would require 8 cChicoPlus
boards and 8 AD16
boards. Each AD16 provides 16 channels of upto 195ksps
simultaneous sampling, note this is not a board with a single
ADC and an analogue multiplexor like some cheap boards on the
market. cChicoPlus has a DDS that could be used to provide the
master clock to all ADC channels and a clock distribution called
SyncLink & ClockLink, thus maintaining synchronised simultaneous
sampling across all channels!
cChicoPlus is also available in a Desktop
PCI format with two Data Acquisition
OMNIBUS I/O module sites called
ChicoPlus. The
ChicoPlus board provides the clock and trigger signals on a separate
IDC connector. Therefore ChicoPlus can be used to build PC Data
Acquisition and Logging Systems.
Free Turnkey Apps
Turnkey data acquisition & playback applications are included in the
cChicoPlus DevPack to provide a true, out of the box, plug-n-play,
data acquisition solution. These Windows XP/2000 executables, are
also provided in source form and may be used as a stepping stone for
custom application development.
Software Development
System Developers can choose from the
following platforms:
- Visual C++: MFC classes and example project files with
source code.
- Borland C++ Builder: VCL Components and project files
with source code.
- DASYLab: Fully graphical development interface.
(limited support)
cChicoPlus is also supported by
Real Time System Editor,
a software application for building data acquisition and logging
systems without the need to write your own code. |
