Programmable Voltage Reference Plug-In
ProDAQ 3202
The ProDAQ 3202 voltage reference card is used in the ProDAQ 3180 ultra-performance motherboards and LXI function card carriers. The ProDAQ 3202 voltage reference card is plugged directly onto the motherboard or carrier and can distribute the reference voltage to all ProDAQ function cards via two signal lines. This allows the distribution as a differential signal to overcome possible noise pick-up.

Signal Conditioning Carrier
ProDAQ 5720
The ProDAQ 5720 Signal Conditioning Unit provides power and cooling for up to two Signal Conditioning Cards from the ProDAQ 58xx Series. These Signal Conditioning Cards provide conditioning for 8 or 16 channels and can be used directly with Bustec’s high-performance ProDAQ ADC function cards such as the ProDAQ 3416 16-ch. Sigma-Delta ADC Function Card or the ProDAQ 3424 8-ch. Sigma-Delta ADC Function Card.To connect the function cards to the signal conditioning cards SCSI-style cables from the ProDAQ 8010-Bx Series are used. They provide shielded twisted pair connections for signals and control.

LXI Matrix Switching Unit
ProDAQ 6140
The ProDAQ 6140 provides a relay matrix which can be fitted between the sensors and actuators on a device under test and the data acquisition and control system. It allows to separately connect/disconnect the signals from either side and to connect them to an internal bus. In this way signals can be routed via the bus to new destinations or the bus can be used to monitor or supply test signals. This allows calibrating and debugging the system without disconnecting and separating channels throughout the system wiring.

2-Channel, Fast DAC / Arbitrary Waveform Generator
ProDAQ 3550
The ProDAQ 3550 fast DAC and arbitrary waveform generator function card provides two channels per card, each equipped with a 16-bit fast and precise DAC 2-pole analog filter and 256k x 16 SRAM memory per channel, with several standard output ranges available. The ProDAQ 3550 can be used as a two-channel waveform generator; the memory can be divided into segments to store complex waveforms. Segments not currently used in a waveform can be loaded during running bursts, providing higher data throughput.
