The Q8 is a versatile and powerful measurement and control board with an extensive range of input and output support. A wide variety of devices with analog and digital sensors as well as quadrature encoders are easily connected to the Q8. This single-board solution is ideal for use in control systems and complex measurement applications.
Every Q8 is supplied complete with ribbon cables and a Terminal Board with standardized connectors, simplifying your hardware integration.
The Q8 has 8 single-ended analog inputs with 14-bit resolution (sign-extended to 16 bits in hardware). With A/D conversion times of 2.4 µs/channel, simultaneous sampling and sampling frequencies of up to 350 kHz for 2 channels, the Q8 can handle even your most demanding performance requirements. All 8 channels can be sampled simultaneously at 100 kHz.
The Q8 is equipped with 8 analog outputs, with software programmable voltage ranges and simultaneous update capability with an 8 µs settling time over full scale (20V).
Aside from having 8 x 24-bit single-ended quadrature encoder inputs using TTL, CMOS, the Q8 uniquely supports simultaneous sampling of all eight encoder channels.
32 lines of individually programmable digital I/O with Totem-pole outputs provide even more high-speed performance on the Q8.
Additional features include 2 on-board PWM outputs, two 32-bit general purpose counter/timers, watchdog timers and the ability to reconfigure the 8 encoder counters as 24-bit counter/timers.
When combined with WinCon 4.0 and a PC, the Q8 yields a world of real-time control possibilities:
- Control virtually any hardware system
- Rapid Control Prototyping
- Hardware-in-the-loop control
- Monitor and control production equipment
- Development of OEM real-time applications
