PCI 8‑channel 32‑bit high‑speed up/down counter board. Supports 10 MHz pulse input with differential line receiver or TTL input. Disconnection detection for differential inputs. Bus master transfer, digital filter, and synchronous control connectors for multi‑board operation.
The CNT32‑8M(PCI) provides eight 32‑bit up/down counter channels on a PCI board. It accepts differential line receiver or TTL‑level inputs up to 10 MHz. Supports 2‑phase (quadrature) or single‑phase counting. Features bus master transfer for high‑speed data sampling and synchronous control connectors for multi‑board operation.
Synchronous operation — sync control connectors (CN2, CN3) allow up to 16 boards to operate synchronously with a single master board. Included synchronization cable (10cm).
