The MacAdios II Jr, a NuBus-compatible data acquisition board
for the Mac II or better, includes a 12-bit analog/digital
converter and 16 single-ended or eight differential analog
input channels for laboratory measurement or process
monitoring. The 12-bit A/D converter is accurate to within .02
percent with a conversion time of 12.5 microseconds, MetraByte
reports. A DC/DC converter changes the 12V provided by the
NuBus to the 15V required by the card.
 
Other features of the board include: eight digital input and
eight digital output channels; two analog output channels;
three counter/timer channels; and three A/D trigger modes. The
card includes driver software and a set of 13 I/O routines,
callable from seven high-level programming languages, that will
handle most data acquisition applications, the company reports.
Optional analog and digital I/O units expand the Mac's
capability by letting you further customize configurations.
 
Price: $999; analog expansion interface, $200; digital
expansion, $150.
