8 Channel Sample & Hold and Signal Conditioning Board for Group3
All channels provide for voltage division ahead of transient suppression before going into the S&H ICs. Channels that are sampled and held use a common sample and hold pulse that samples while high and holds while low. Jumpers on each S&H chip allow buffering of analog signals where sample and holds are not required. An advantage to the buffers is that it provides a high input impedance for high impedance voltage dividers.

Connector Blocks for Interfacing to Ribbon Cables
VI Control Systems has designed several connector blocks for mating ribbon cables to screw terminals. Our design goal was to make the connector blocks small and inexpensive. Connector blocks are mounted by using 6-32 stand-offs. The connector blocks feature a ground plane that is connected to the mounting screw holes.
