- I am interested in a cheap way to monitor some slowly changing
- voltages (read: DC) in a piece of test equipment. 8-bit resolution
- is fine. I can scale the voltages to the 0-1 VDC range (or similar)
- using resistor networks if I need to.
-
- Does anyone know if a Soundblaster is a reasonable way to do this?
- Can I get continous DC DAC output from the soundblaster?
-
- Are there any ADC/DAC boards that are much cheaper than $75 or so?
- They'd have to be considerably cheaper, since if the Soundblaster
- can do the job, I'd get one and use it for other things too.
