Introduction

Tutorial: Embedded Analog Input Boards

Diamond Systems wants you to be well informed about embedded A/D board technology, so that when you are ready to purchase a board, you will understand the terminology and features and be able to make an informed decision about which product to buy.

Naturally, we believe that our A/D boards are some of the best on the market, because our goal is to provide the best products available. However each application is different, so what is best overall or for one customer may not be best for another. This slide show is intended to give you a basic understanding of the types of features available, so that when reading datasheets from us as well as our competitors, you will be better able to understand the information and evaluate its relevance to your application.

Of course if you have any further technical questions on this subject, our sales and technical support staff are ready to help you. You can contact us by telephone at 1-800-456-7800 (USA) or via email at:
