APCI-3200 Temperature Measurement Board

APCI-3200 Temperature Measurement Board

The APCI-3200 is a PCI temperature measurement board with 4, 8 or 16 channels for thermocouples or 8 inputs for RTD (PT100) temperature sensors. Each channel can be configured for a thermo¶ðcouples, RTD or as an analog voltage input channel. The APCI-3200 includes 8 independent current sources for RTD and one current source for the cold junction compensation on PX3200-G. 64-bit drivers for Windows and Linux as well as programming samples are included, real-time drivers for Windows and Linux are available on request.
