ABOUT 3116
The Model 3116 is a single-width CAMAC module with 16 differential output voltage channels. The maximum output of each channel of the 3116 is rated at +/-10 volts, at a maximum 12 milliamperes. Output signal levels can be resolved to 16 bits (one part in 65536) with better than 14-bit accuracy. The settling time for a 20 volt output step is 2 milliseconds.

Data values for each channel are written to a 16-bit wide, 16-word dual-ported memory. The memory is sequentially scanned, and the values are applied to a single, 16-bit Digital-to-Analog converter circuit.

The DAC output is then multiplexed to 16 high-precision sample-and-hold circuits, the outputs of which are fed through a 2-pole, active low-pass Bessel filter before being brought to the front panel connector. Since the voltage outputs of all circuits are accurate to within 500 V, only one Gain and one Offset potentiometer are needed to adjust the DAC. All channels are updated every 2.3 ms. The nominal cutoff frequency of each filter is set at 400 Hz.
