Isolated Digital Expansion Board
MSXB 078
The Microstar Laboratories Isolated Digital Expansion Board, part number MSXB 078, provides isolated digital expansion for Data Acquisition Processor (DAP) systems. Use these boards to eliminate ground currents – a potential source of noise in your measurement and control signals – and eliminate timing errors from high-channel count digital I/O.

product
Quadrature Decoder Board
MSXB 050
The MSXB 050 Quadrature Decoder Board allows a Data Acquisition Processor to read quadrature-encoded signals through its digital port. Quadrature-encoded signals are often used to measure the angular velocity and angular position of wheels, gears, and motors.

product
Signal Conditioning and Filtering
MSXB 067
The MSXB 067 Signal Conditioning Expansion Board provides analog signal conditioning for strain gauges, load cells, RTDs, and other resistive sensors. MSXB 067 provides a flexible interface for quarter-bridge, half-bridge, and full-bridge sensors, with two to six wires for each sensor, with or without voltage sense feedback. A small daughterboard supports user-supplied bridge completion resistors.

Scalable 16-Bit Data Acquisition
DAP 5016a
When your application needs Pentium-powered, real-time processing and 16-bit sampling under Windows, choose the DAP 5016a. Even at maximum sampling rates, the combination of a fast processor with low latency allows computation in real time between samples – and on-time response for control applications.

product
LVDS Board
MSXB 045
The MSXB 045 LVDS board works with multiple iDSC 1816 boards to provide synchronization for many channels of data. An MSXB 045 board in each of two or more networked PCs, that each contain one or more iDSC 1816 boards, allows the whole networked system to work as a single synchronized system with possibly hundreds of conditioned channels.

Data Acquisition Processor Board
DAP 5200a
The DAP 5200a model brings many more real-time data acquisition and control applications within the scope of Windows systems. Its onboard 400 MHz processor substantially increases the real-time processing power of the top end of the DAP line. Real-time processing functions include smoothing, filtering, FFT, PID control, and responding to alarm conditions;
