# Introduction

ADLINK’s PCI-9118/L series are high-performance data acquisition cards that are simplified versions of the phased-out PCI-9118. The PCI-9118/L series provides full compatible functionality with the PCI-9118 series except for the analog output functions. The PCI-9118DG/L and PCI-9118HG/L feature 12-bit resolution, with sampling rate up to 333 kS/s.

The 256-location channel gain queues on PCI-9118/L series cards allow high-speed data acquisition with different gains on each channel and non-sequential order of automatic analog input scanning capability. The onboard 1 k-sample A/D FIFO ensures reliable high-speed data acquisition under Windows operating systems. The data can be transferred through bus-mastering DMA with gap-free, continuous high throughput; even for a large amount of data.

ADLINK PCI-9118/L series analog input cards deliver cost-effective and reliable data acquisition capabilities, and are ideal for a broad variety of applications.
