APCI-1712 – DAQ PCI Card – Counting Inputs
The APCI-1712 is a high-performance multifunction counter and digital I/O card for the PCI bus, designed for demanding industrial measurement and control applications. Based on an FPGA-driven architecture, the APCI-1712 provides four independently configurable function modules.
Each module can be programmed with a wide range of counter, measurement, and logic functions via the supplied software, allowing the board to be precisely adapted to application-specific requirements.
