With its accurate analog out channels, the DS6242 can be used for rapid control prototyping (RCP) as well as hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing applications. Its 10 galvanic isolated analog output channels support voltage output as well as current sink. For voltage output you can combine up to three channels to cover the voltage range from -60V to +60V.
During the development of ECU functions, the DS6242 works as an analog signal generator for actuator control. In test scenarios, it generates signals for sensor simulation.

1) Unless stated otherwise, the specifications are valid only if the dSPACE hardware is correctly connected to the power, switched on, and ready for operation.
2) Full-scale range (FSR) step, value generally depends on output load condition.
3) It depends on the voltage direction whether the current is negative or positive.
4) You cannot use current enhancement and voltage enhancement at the same time.
