Voltage (DAC) Output
The 34907A module has two analog outputs capable of outputting calibrated
voltages between ±12 volts with 16 bits of resolution. Each DAC
(Digital-to-Analog Converter) channel can be used as a programmable voltage
source for analog input to other devices.
– You can set the output voltage to any value between +12 VDC and -12 VDC, in
1 mV steps. Each DAC is earth referenced; it cannot float.
– Each DAC channel is capable of supplying 10 mA maximum current.
– To maintain the rated output accuracy, the load (R
L
in the diagram shown
above) must be greater than 1 kΩ.
