MODULE DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The XVME-500 and XVME-590 are Analog Input VMEbus-compatible boards. The
XVME-500 is a single-high (3U), single-wide module, and the XVME-590 is a double-
high (6U), single-wide module. These two modules are capable of performing
analog-to-digital conversions with
12-bit
resolution. These modules provide 16
single-ended (SE), or 8 differential input (DI) analog input channels.
Adding an XVME-910 channel expansion kit allows analog input expansion to 32 SE
and 16 DI channels. See Appendix A for XVME-910 specifications.
The XVME-500 and XVME-590 modules are available in any of three different
versions:
1)
XVME-500/
1 and
XVME-590/
1
-
fixed gain amplifier with 25uSec

See Table l-l, Section 1.3 for additional information on conversion time,
settling time and throughput frequency for each version.
