Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Very functional very rugged card for the cost! I first found these cards back when there were just coming out. We still have those cards and have added many more of them to our inventory of DAQ equipment. The libraries and software for them makes for easy integration into data acquisition systems.

Summary
The PCI-DAS4020/12 is an ultra high speed, analog input board for PCI bus computers. It provides four, 12-bit analog inputs with sample rates up to 20 MHz, 24 bits of digital I/O, and two, 12-bit analog outputs.

Central to the board is a powerful System Timing Controller (STC) chip. The STC controls all A/D sampling including a 64 Ksample A/D FIFO. This functionality is based on the STC use of an on-board 32K x 24 SRAM. The board provides bus-mastering and scatter-gather functionality to assure the desired system timing is maintained.

The PCI-DAS4020/12 is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches, jumpers, or potentiometers on the board. All board addresses, interrupt channels etc. are set by your computer’s plug-and-play software. Even calibration is performed via software by using on-board digital potentiometers and trim D/A converters

Included Software
InstaCal InstaCal Installation, calibration, and test software in one package simplifies these important steps as you turn your PC into a measurement system. Installation detects new hardware and configures your computer and board. Calibration software automates this critical step and keeps your measurements accurate. Test routines verify that all the board's features are operating, and will speed you to a quick resolution. If you need to, call our free technical support. Included free with every board.
TracerDAQ® TracerDAQ® TracerDAQ is an out-of-the-box application that allows data to be generated, acquired, analyzed, displayed and exported within seconds of installing Measurement Computing data acquisition hardware. TracerDAQ has been completely redesigned to provide significant performance and feature improvements over previous versions. It now offers four different data acquisition applications; a Strip Chart, an Oscilloscope, a Function Generator and a Rate Generator, all of which are accessed via a common, easy-to-use menu page. TracerDAQ is provided standard with all Measurement Computing PCI-and USB-based data acquisition products to get customers up and running quickly and efficiently.
ULx for NI LabVIEW™ ULx for NI LabVIEW™ Advanced Driver for use with NI LabVIEW™ 8.5 – 2011. Allows quick development of instrumentation, acquisition, and control applications with Measurement Computing hardware devices
Universal Library Universal Library Programming libraries for Windows® Visual Studio® programming languages, and others. A complete function library to simplify the configuration and operation of your measurement board. A single, universal set of functions operates all our products so you only have to learn to use our library once.
Optional Software
DASYLab® Software DASYLab® Software lets you interactively develop PC-based data acquisition applications by simply attaching functional icons. DASYLab offers real-time analysis, control, and the ability to create custom graphical user interfaces (GUIs). What’s more, in contrast to other graphical programming environments, which can require weeks of training to master, DASYLab has a very short user-learning curve. Many applications can be configured in a few minutes, rather than days or weeks.
Linux® Support for MCC DAQ Products Linux® Support for MCC DAQ Products is available in two different ways. MCC provides direct Linux support for our DAQFlex data acquistion products. DAQFlex products support message-based programming for both Windows and Linux. Many MCC products are also supported under third-party Linux drivers. These professional drivers provide support for many MCC products including most USB and PCI hardware.
MATLAB® Support for MCC Products MATLAB® Support for MCC Products – MATLAB® is a software environment for data acquisition, data analysis, and application development. MATLAB supports MCC hardware by using the MATLAB® Data Acquisition Toolbox™. MATLAB supports the data acquisition and analysis process along with interfacing with data acquisition devices and instruments, analyzing and visualizing the data. It also produces presentation-quality reports to share results with others.
TracerDAQ® Pro TracerDAQ® Pro Provides four virtual instrument applications used to graphically display and store input data – and generate output signals – within minutes of installing Measurement Computing data acquisition hardware. The applications allow the user to customize appearance, store configurations for future use, save data to a file for export and – with the use of interactive hotspots – change settings while the application is running.
