The DaqBoard/3000 Series boards feature a 16-bit/1-MHz A/D converter, 16 analog input channels [user 
expandable up to 64], up to four 16-bit/1-MHz analog outputs, 24 high-speed digital I/O channels, 2 timer 
outputs, and four 32-bit counters. 
All analog I/O, digital I/O, and counter/timer I/O can operate synchronously and simultaneously, 
guaranteeing deterministic I/O timing amongst all signal types.  The DaqBoard/3000 Series boards include 
a high-speed, low-latency, highly deterministic control output mode that operates independent of the PC. In 
this mode both digital and analog outputs can respond to analog, digital and counter inputs as fast as 2µsec. 
Other Hardware Features Include: 
o
  Encoder measurements up to 20 MHz, including Z-channel zeroing 
o
  Frequency and Pulse-width measurements with 20.83 nsec resolution 
o
  Timing mode: can measure the time between two counter inputs to 20.83 nsec resolution 
o
  Self-calibration 
 
 
The DaqBoard/3000 series offers up to 12-MHz scanning of all digital input lines. Digital inputs and 
counter inputs can be synchronously scanned [along with analog inputs] but do not affect the overall A/D 
rate because they use no time slot in the scanning sequencer. For example, one analog input can be scanned 
at the full 1-MHz A/D rate along with digital and counter input channels. The 1-MHz A/D rate is 
unaffected by additional digital and counter channels.  
Adding analog input channels to a DaqBoard/3000 Series board is easy.  An additional 48 single-ended  
[or 24 differential] analog input channels can be added to each board with the optional PDQ30 expansion 
module.* The PDQ30 connects to the Daqboard/3000 series card via an external cable. With the 
DaqBoard/3000’s 1-MHz aggregate sample rate, users can easily add multiple analog expansion channels 
and still have enough bandwidth to have a per-channel sample rate in the multiple kHz range.

DaqBoard/3006 does not support PDQ30.
