Signal Conditioning and Filtering
MSXB 065
The MSXB 065 Signal Conditioning Expansion Board provides filtered analog signal conditioning for voltage signals for Data Acquisition Processor systems. Each board has differential inputs; jumper-selectable simultaneous sampling; jumper-selectable gains of 1, 5, and 25; fourth-order anti-alias filters, cutoff frequencies from 100 Hz to 50 kHz.

Signal Conditioning and Filtering
MSXB 067
The MSXB 067 Signal Conditioning Expansion Board provides analog signal conditioning for strain gauges, load cells, RTDs, and other resistive sensors. MSXB 067 provides a flexible interface for quarter-bridge, half-bridge, and full-bridge sensors, with two to six wires for each sensor, with or without voltage sense feedback. A small daughterboard supports user-supplied bridge completion resistors.

Sampling Boards
MSXB 028
Simultaneous Sampling Boards are used in multichannel spectral analysis and other applications that require simultaneous acquisition of several channels. The MSXB 028 usually is used for applications that require interchannel phase measurements such as applications that perform transfer function computations. This board eliminates phase error introduced by sequential sampling.

product
LVDS Board
MSXB 045
The MSXB 045 LVDS board works with multiple iDSC 1816 boards to provide synchronization for many channels of data. An MSXB 045 board in each of two or more networked PCs, that each contain one or more iDSC 1816 boards, allows the whole networked system to work as a single synchronized system with possibly hundreds of conditioned channels.

Scalable 16-Bit Data Acquisition
DAP 5016a
When your application needs Pentium-powered, real-time processing and 16-bit sampling under Windows, choose the DAP 5016a. Even at maximum sampling rates, the combination of a fast processor with low latency allows computation in real time between samples – and on-time response for control applications.

6-bit Data Acquisition Card
DAP 5216a
The DAP 5216a model adds 16-bit resolution to the proven capabilities of the DAP 5200a line. It has the same real-time processing power as the DAP 5200a. Real-time processing functions include smoothing, filtering, FFT, PID control, and responding to alarm conditions; the DAP 5216a also can scan high-speed data for trigger events in real time to capture pre-trigger as well as post-trigger data.

Expansion Board
MSXB 044
The MSXB 044 expansion board works with the iDSC 1816 to add signal conditioning to the data acquisition and anti-aliasing capabilities. Four MSXB 044 boards are included in each MSSC-8 module. Purchase the MSXB 044 as part of a complete SCS system: an enclosure and 1, 2, 3, or 4 MSSC-8 modules, for a total of 8, 16, 24, or 32 channels.

Isolated Analog Input Expansion Board
MSXB 084
The MSXB 084 Isolated Analog Input Expansion Board provides isolated analog inputs for DAP systems. Use these boards to eliminate ground currents – a potential source of noise in your measurement and control signals – and eliminate timing skew.

product
Isolated 16-Bit Analog Output Board
MSXB 076
The Microstar Laboratories Isolated 16-Bit Analog Output Board, part number MSXB 076, provides isolated analog outputs for Data Acquisition Processor (DAP) systems. Use these boards to eliminate ground currents – a potential source of noise in your measurement and control signals – as well as to eliminate phase errors from analog outputs in your application.

product
Filtered Analog Input Expansion Board
MSXB 048
The MSXB 048 Filtered Analog Input Expansion Board has a four-pole low-pass Butterworth filter on each of its 16 single-ended channels. For DAP applications that require analog filters to take out all above-Nyquist frequencies before signal conversion, it simply replaces the MSXB 037 Analog Input Expansion board. Signal inputs normally connect to the MSXB 048 through a panel-mount DB-37 connector.

Data Acquisition Board
DAP 4200a
The DAP 4200a is an excellent choice for applications where there is a need for real-time processing of data in the time interval between samples, and for applications requiring fast sample rates. Much of the DAP 4200a design is similar to that of the DAP 3200a/415, but the DAP 4200a has a PCI host interface, and is capable of high speed data transfers to the host PC.
