OVERVIEW
The IPM-ADC provides a fast 16-bit resolution Analog to Digital (A/D) conversion. Available as a 32 MHz single-size Industry Pack (IPack) module, the IPM-ADC offers programmable scan control and up to four scanning modes.
The user can scan all channels or define a subset for more frequent sampling. Burst mode scans selected channels at the maximum conversion rate. Uniform mode performs conversions at user-defined intervals. Both modes can scan continuously, or execute a single cycle upon receiving a trigger. Analog samples and timetags are accessible through a 2048 word FIFO.
The IPM-ADC includes on-board IRIG-B decoder and sampling timetags providing accurate timing and synchronization between channels and modules.
Carrier Board Support
The functionality of the IPM-ADC is further enhanced by the power of MAX Technologies’ line of intelligent multi- platform (PCI, CPCI and PXI) carrier boards. All modules and carrier boards are synchronized and time correlated to 32-bit microsecond-resolution.
Software Support
The MX-Foundation library provides high-level abstraction of hardware and allows to easily control mixed protocols and I/O modules on one or multiple carrier boards.
