UniDAQ Processor-Board UniDAQ2.DSP-ADDA

UniDAQ2 is a versatile data acquisition and processing system for industrial applications, scientific research and education.

16 simultanously sampled analog inputs with excellent performance and low latency make UniDAQ2 ideally suited for high-precision measurements of dynamic signals and control loops. Eight analog outputs control actuators, generate stimuli signals, references or monitor internal processing states.
