1. Introduction
This manual describes the ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard and explains how to install and configure
the ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard with any of the ProDAQ Plug-in Modules and ProDAQ Function
Cards.
The ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard provides a VXIbus interface and common resources like a voltage
reference module (optional), trigger routing capability and additional power regulators for up to
eight ProDAQ function cards. The ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard together with the ProDAQ Function
Cards can be configured to provide any function or combination of functions required for a specific
application.
The ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard is part of the ProDAQ Modular Data Aquisition System, which
consists of the following components:
AProDAQ Motherboard that installs into a VXI slot in a VXIbus chassis. A ProDAQ
Motherboard can be populated with a ProDAQ 3201 Voltage Reference Plug-in Module
(optional) and up to eight ProDAQ Function Cards.
The ProDAQ 3201 Voltage Reference Plug-in Module that installs into the Voltage Reference
Plug-in slot on a ProDAQ Motherboard.
The ProDAQ Function Cards which install into ProDAQ Bus slots on a ProDAQ Motherboard.
The ProDAQ Signal Conditioning Unit can be used together with the ProDAQ Modular Data
Aquisition System to provide various signal conditioning functions and allows for easy connection
to the existing installation.
