The MSXB 075 for isolated analog outputs and simultaneous updates can protect your application from ground currents and phase errors.

Microstar Laboratories, Inc. (Bellevue, WA) says that using its new board lets you avoid ground currents and phase errors, which are two serious problems that may affect analog outputs, at a reasonable cost per channel, even for a few outputs.

The new board (part number MSXB 075) offers isolated analog expansion for Data Acquisition Processor (DAP) boards for PC-based systems. It includes four single-ended analog outputs, provides an isolated ground for each output, and updates all channels simultaneously. MSXB 075 boards fit into a backplane in a standard industrial enclosure or in a DAPserver. The DAPserver also contains one or more DAP boards and can contain other expansion boards for isolated analog input and isolated digital input and output. It then forms a ready-to-run package for applications that require complete protection from ground currents and phase errors.

The MSXB 075 board ($475) includes a cable that lets you run a DAPserver from any PC with an Ethernet connector.
