THEORY OF OPERATION no special machine language
D5000 modules are complete four- software drivers are necessary for
channel data acquisition systems. operation.
Each unit contains analog signal
conditioning circuits optimized for
a specific input type. The amplified
sensor signals are converted to
digital data with a microprocessor-
controlled integrating A/D converter.
Offset and gain errors in the analog
circuitry are continuously monitored
and corrected using microprocessor
techniques. The D5000 converts
the digital signal data into
engineering units using look-up
tables. The resultant data is stored
in ASCII format in a memory buffer.
The modules continuously convert
data at the rate of 8 conversions
per second and store the latest
result in the buffer.
The host computer may request
data by sending simple ASCII
commands to the module. The
D5000 will instantly respond by
communicating the ASCII buffer A1000 RS-232 to RS-485 converter/repeater
