Measurement Computing's PCI-CTR05 is a high-performance, low-cost 9513 based counter/timer board for PCI bus compatible computers. Each 9513 provides five counters with 16 bit (65,536 count) count registers. The 9513 is extremely powerful, flexible, and is software programmable for event counting, pulse & frequency measurement, alarm comparator and other input functions. The 9513 can also generate frequencies with complex duty cycles and in one-shot and continuous modes.
The 9513 counters may be chained via software, enabling a 32-, 48-, 64- or 80-bit counter without requiring hardware connections. In addition, the gate source and gating functions are software programmable.
An 8-line high-current digital output port provides logic level control capability and may be used to switch solid state relays. An 8-line digital input port may be used to sense contact closures. Access to the PCI bus interrupts is also provided.
"When we started designing these systems, we needed to locate a robust data acquisition unit that we could trust, have multiple inputs and a simple but effective software interface and a reasonable price." Michael Gray, Precia Molen
"We have used MCC devices for many years on any number of different projects, from pile testing to seismic tests, and we've always been more than satisified with their performance. This was the natural choice for us." Stephen Kemp, Manager, GBG Structural Services
