                  IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

 It is very important for the user to consider the possible adverse
 effects of power, wiring, component, sensor, or software failures
 in designing any type of control or monitoring system.  This is
 especially important where economic property loss or human life
 is involved.  It is important that the user employ satisfactory
overall system design.  It is agreed between the Buyer and
Acromag, that  this is the Buyer's responsibility.

1.0   GENERAL INFORMATION

The AVME9125 VMEbus card performs precision 16-bit

analog to digital conversions.  The AVME9125 supports 16
channels of differential analog inputs.  With the addition of the
companion card the EXP9125, up to 32 channels of differential
analog inputs can be selected for conversion.

The AVME9125 offers a variety of features which make it an

ideal choice for many industrial and scientific applications as
described below.

KEY AVME9125 FEATURES

 

Interface for 32 Differential Channels 

- Provides an

electrical and mechanical interface for up to 32 Differential
Channels.  16 differential channels are individually input via
the P2 connector of the AVME9125 and the other 16
differential channels are multiplexed to a single differential
pair using a companion Expander Card (EXP9125).

 

A/D 16-Bit Resolution

 - 16-bit capacitor-based successive

approximation Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) with integral
sample and hold and reference.

 

Real Time Correction - 

Correction logic is provided along

with calibration autozero and autospan precision voltages to
permit real time hardware correction of conversion errors.
Trimmed  calibration voltages include: 0V (local analog
ground), and 9.79V.

 

Diagnostic Capability 

- Diagnostic capability using ground

and reference.

 

11.25

µ

sec Conversion Time

 - A maximum conversion rate

of 

 88KHz is supported.
