Microstar Laboratories manufactures xDAP (Data Acquisition Processor) systems for USB buses and PCI bus Data Acquisition Processor (DAP) boards for PC systems. The unique product feature - onboard intelligence - may bring a completely different * * to you and your applications. Each data acquisition processor board has an onboard processor, making each DAP an intelligent solution for data acquisition and control applications. All current data acquisition processor boards, except for the xDAP series, DAP 5400a, and DAP 5370a, have onboard analog and digital inputs and outputs. The xDAP series has high-speed analog inputs and digital inputs and outputs. DAP 5400a and DAP 5370a have high-speed analog inputs. The onboard processor distributes intelligence to the data acquisition processor. This frees data collection from the control of operating systems such as Windows, which may not be available to collection applications when urgently needed. By placing processors on the board, data acquisition and control are implemented by its own operating system DAPL, which is optimized for data acquisition.
