About Analogue To Digital Converter
Analogue to digital converter circuit internally fitted inside a plastic moulded case. Analogue signal 0-7V DC given by analogue input sockets is converted into digital output signal in 1V steps i.e. 001 for 1V, 010 for 2V and so on. Three LEDs are used for representation of binary digital signal. The output voltage against each LED directly comes out through 4mm sockets and can be used for coupling it with DAC instrument. Operating voltage for the instrument is 12V DC. For more sensitivity of lower range, a selector toggle switch marked with (0-7V/0-2V) is used
