The PDA2 is a Peripheral Differential Amplifier module that allows the simultaneous recording of up to 8 differential bipolar high-ohmic external voltages, such as voltage monitors, reference or pH electrodes.
The PDA2 is compatible with instruments which have a SubD15 peripheral port and is powered from the grid via an adapter.
The PDA2 gives access to most of the 15pin peripheral port signals. The 8 analog inputs on the PDA2 are multiplexed to the (2) available analog inputs on the peripheral port.
Available signals:
- 8 Analog inputs
- 1 Digital input
- X/Y in
- 1 Analog output
- AC in
- AC out
- I/E out
- +5V
- PDA2 can record up to 8 differential channels
- Differential measurement range: ±10 V
- Maximum common mode voltage: ±10 V
- Input impedance: > 10^12 Ohm
- Because the 8 analog inputs are multiplexed channels, each couple of channels is measured at increments with the primary signal, i.e. ch1-2 are measured at datapoint 1 (dp1), ch3-4 at dp2, ch 5-6 at dp3, ch7-8 at dp4, ch1-2 at dp5 again, etc.
