AVIO Instrument

Single Board Chassis

AVIO Instrument

Multi-Board Chassis

The AVIO (Analog Voltage Input/Output) Instrument features 16 channels, each configurable for either input or output
  • One AVIO card can take the place of three instruments (such as multimeters, oscilloscopes and frequency generators)
  • Each channel can supply or monitor time varying AC or DC signals (sine, triangle, square waves or more)
  • Other cards similar to AVIO only have one Analog to Digital Converter for all channels on the card. AVIO is a cost effective and faster solution because every channel has its own dedicated Analog to Digital Converter. This produces a maximum sample rate and independent channels (no muxing).
  • All voltage readings are true RMS regardless of wave shape.
  • Input sample rates up to 1.1 MS/s (mega samples per second) and output rates up to 1 MS/s
  • Ability to drive currents up to 450 mA per channel
  • Inputs can withstand voltages between +/- 170 volts (therefore 120-volt outlets will not damage the module)
  • Ethernet Interface includes a built-in web server
