Introduction 1 
 
The DaqBoard/500 and DaqBoard/505 have 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs multiplexed 
to a 16-bit A/D converter with maximum throughput of 200 kHz, programmable gains of 1, 2, 4 or 8, one 
counter input channel, two timer output channels, and 24 lines of digital I/O.  In addition, DaqBoard/500 
includes two clocked DACs. 
The boards feature a DMA engine for optimum performance in supported Windows environments.  Board 
connections are terminated in a 68-pin “high density” SCSI III connector at the rear of the PC. 
 
digital calibration method is used for both analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog 
conversions.  Please contact the factory should you believe your board to be in need 
of calibration.
