Project description¶

• 16-bit 10Ms/s DAC card in FMC form-factor with Low Pin count (LPC) connector.
• Four channels with an output range of +/-10V.
• Three trigger inputs (start, pause and stop), common to the four outputs.

4 July 2011: Decided to cancel this project as currently we have no applications for it.
