40-ch 16-bit Ethernet DAC

Flexible Optical B.V. presents new 40-channel 16-bit DAC unit with Ethernet interface, featuring 2 kHz refresh rate for all 40 channels simultaneously.

“EDAC40” is a digital-to-analog converter unit with Ethernet 100Base-TX network interface. It provides 40 analog output channels with amplitude resolution of 16 bits and refresh rate up to 2 kHz via UDP or TCP protocols. The device features bipolar output amplifier with software adjustable gain and offset, which allows to tune the device to the needs of particular application without sacrificing the dynamic range. Full signal span is up to 12 V, maximum and minimum values could be adjusted in the range from -12 V to +12 V. Multiple devices may be combined within network to control practically unlimited number of channels. Since Ethernet and TCP/IP are ubiquitous modern standards, the usage of the device is not limited to any particular hardware/software platform.
