LabMaster DPCI - RC DeskTop LabMaster DPCI - ST DeskTop
LabMaster DPCI - PCI card
LabMaster DPCI - MJ DeskTop LabMaster DPCI - BNC DeskTop

The LabMaster DPCI is a full-featured data acquisition product that consists of a small PCI card that installs inside the computer and a convenient DeskTop unit. The PCI card and the DeskTop unit are connected using a single quick-connect round cable

The PCI card provides the interface to the computer's bus and the DeskTop unit contains convenient signal connections. Several types of DeskTop units are available that provide a full range of connection options including Ribbon Cables, Screw Terminals, 3.5mm (1/8") stereo jacks and BNC.

In addition to providing convenient signal connections, the LabMaster DPCI DeskTop unit also houses the main data acquisition circuitry. This out-of-the-computer implementation helps to isolate the sensitive analog signal conditioning circuitry from the computer and results in exceptional ultra-low noise measurements.

This product is intended for new applications and also to replace LabMaster ISA cards with a PCI solution.

Features of the LabMaster DPCI

For use in such diverse applications such as Voltage Clamp (pCLamp); EEG/EKG Neurological measurements; Psycho-Physiology, Industrial Process Control; Laboratory Instrumentation Test, Measurement and Control; Gravitational Meters; and Fluorescence Research Instrumentation; - the LabMaster DPCI products are available in several models and external connection options.

PCI solution for LabMaster ISA customers!

Customers who need to migrate from ISA to PCI computers and want to keep using their existing software originally written for the LabMaster DMA / ISA product should consider the LabMaster DPCI. The LabMaster DPCI was specifically designed with this idea in mind and is 100% hardware register level compatible with the LabMaster 20009 and DMA ISA cards. This means it will run most software written for the original LabMaster ISA product with little or no modification (i.e. depends upon use of Interrupts and DMA programming).
