CAMAC - 3516 32-channel Scanning A/D Converter View Datasheet Request Ordering Information     ABOUT 3516 The 3516 is a single-width CAMAC module that converts 32 analog voltages into their equivalent digital values. This module contains a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter capable of resolving one part in 65,536. The inputs are scanned, and the results are stored in a 32-word memory, which can be read via the Dataway. The number of active (scanned) channels is software programmable. There are two software-selectable scan modes: Continuous and Single-scan. In Continuous mode, CAMAC Read cycles are asynchronous with the conversion process, eliminating overhead due to testing for converter busy. If it is desirable to synchronize scanning and reading, Singlescan mode can be used. In Single-scan mode, a LAM status is set after the last channel has been converted. In addition, the external trigger input can be used to synchronously trigger a single scan on multiple 3516s. The 3516 contains a 4-bit, 32-word memory that can be loaded, on a channel-by-channel basis from the Dataway, with an appropriate gain factor for each differential input channel. Eleven gain values, from one to 1024, are available in binary progression. This allows one 3516 to measure a wide variety of input signal types (such as thermocouples, RTDs, high-level inputs, etc.). The C1B option features a single-pole, lowpass filter at the input of each channel. These filters provide a –3dB cutoff frequency of 6Hz.
