[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Metrabyte Dash 16 A/D, D/A

v053qgzj@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (David M Snyderman) (02/10/91)

I'm not sure that this is the appropriate board to be asking this question--
if not, please let me know where I should go!

The setup:  an AT compatible with a Metrabyte A/D D/A converter board.
Homebrew software that currently reads the A/D input and saves/processes
data.

The goal:  to add to the Homebrew software routines for controlling the 
analog output.  This will be used to sweep a tunable dye laser.  The laser
sweep is currently controlled by a Wavetek.

The question:  does anyone have experience with this card?  I am working from
the docs that came with the board and controlling software (BASIC interface 
but interface on top of that in C, which is what our programming is in), the
existing homebrew routines, and a basic C knowledge.  If you have worked with 
this before and have any suggestions or caveats for me, I would appreciate
hearing them.

Thanks in advance!
Dave
