Multifunction measurement card for PCs (1):

The high-performance insertion card described in this article allows your IBM PC-XT, PC-AT or 100% compatible to measure direct voltage at 12-bit accuracy, as well as frequency and a host of other parameters related to pulse-shaped signals. The accuracy and versatility afforded by the card are of a level associated with much more expensive, industrially rated products. The menu-driven control software developed for this exciting project allows you to keep tabs on up to eight voltages quasi-simultaneously, while up to eight remaining inputs can be used for time-related measurements including frequency, duty factor and pulse duration, not forgetting the event counter. Connected to the sensors and timing devices of your choice, this card turns a PC into a powerful central controller in a complex measurement and control system.
