DS6221 A/D Board

Fast SCALEXIO A/D Board for precise measurements

The DS6221 A/D Board provides 16 high-speed analog channels, versatile trigger capabilities, and a high-throughput streaming interface. It is an excellent choice for precise measurements, even of fast analog signal sequences.  

  • 16 differential A/D channels
  • 250 ns conversion time (4 MSPS) and 16-bit resolution
  • Versatile trigger capabilities 

Application Areas 

With its accurate high-speed analog channels and versatile trigger capabilities, the DS6221 is an excellent fit for precise measurements, even of fast analog signals sequences, in various applications areas. It can be used for scenarios such as the development and testing of electric drives applications or vibration and noise cancellation applications as well as for high volume data acquisition in test bench scenarios.

Key Benefits

Each of the 16 differential input channels included in the DS6221 has an independent A/D converter with a resolution of 16 bits and a minimum conversion time of 250 ns. Advanced configurable  channel-specific triggers, such as onboard timers, external trigger input lines, or predefined angles of SCALEXIO’s angular processing unit, allow for the precise event-based capturing of analog values and signal sequences. For comprehensive and fast data capturing the IOCNET-based streaming interface provides a continuous sample data throughput of up to 40 MSPS to the real-time application1).
