The ability to generate instrument quality analog voltages
is available in the KPCI-3130 Series analog output boards. The
KPCI-3130 is designed to the PCI-bus standard and provides a Return
wide feature set that is typically not seen in PC-based plug-in
analog output hardware. Two of the most unique characteristics GND
of the board are the 4-wire remote sense feature and the
4-quadrant source/sink operation. The functionality of these Figure 1. Conventional 2-Wire Analog Output Connections
features is illustrated in the following test examples.
