Grouping the UEI Boards

The United Electronic Industries (UEI) PowerDAQ board series contains a large number of boards. The board names follow a standard pattern:

[Form Factor]-[Board Type]-[Channel]-[Speed]/[Resolution][Gain]

For example, one UEI board is named PD2-MF-16-1M/12L. The possibilities for the parts of the name are

• Form Factor -- The form factor can be one of two things. PD2 denotes a 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI bus board. PDXI indicates a 32-bit, 33-MHz PXI/cPCI bus board.
• Board Type -- The board type can be one of three things. MF indicates a multifunction board. MFS indicates a multifunction board with sample and hold. AO indicates an analog output board.
• Channel -- For MF and MFS board types, the channel is the number of analog input channels. For AO board types, the channel is the number of analog output channels.
• Speed -- The speed is the number of samples per second supported by the board.
• Resolution -- For MF and MFS boards, the Resolution is the analog input resolution. For AO board types, the Resolution is the analog output resolution.
• Gain -- Gain is denoted by letters that represent ranges. DG indicates a gain of 1, 2, 5, or 10. L indicates a range of 1, 10, 100, or 1000. H indicates a range of 1, 2, 4, or 8.

For example, the PD2-MF-16-1M/12L is a PCI multifunction board with sixteen 12-bit analog input channels supporting one million (1M) samples per second with available gains of 1, 10, 100, or 1000.
