The ITC-18 interface is the second generation computer interface from Instrutech Corp. It offers increased capability while retaining all of the excellent features of its predecessor, the ITC-16 interface. The ITC-18 advances data acquisition to a new level !

The ITC-18 is an external data acquisition unit that is attached to the host computer through a dedicated interface board (PCI-18). The interface uses separate 18 bit converters for each channel to provide true 16 bit resolution. It features thirty-two digital output channels, fourteen of them capable of current sink, for controlling perfusion valves and other devices. All analog and digital input and output channels are sampled simultaneously for maximum precision.

Like the ITC-16 all external signal connections are optically isolated from the host computer. The optical isolation minimizes the possibility of ground loops between equipment and also reduces computer noise injection into the recording setup. This feature makes extremely low noise recordings possible.

The ITC-18 is supplied with a large 256 or optional 1024 kilosample FIFO memory for input and output data and therefore allows data acquisition to be performed independent of the activity of the host computer.

The ITC-18 can access the A/D, D/A and digital I/O channels in any sequence. This provides the ability of different sampling rates for each channel to optimize the simultaneous acquisition of signals of dissimilar bandwidths.
