SCC-AO10 Isolated Analog
Output Module
The SCC-AO10 is an isolated voltage output module with an output range
of ±10 V. The output voltage level is controlled by the DAC output of an
E/M Series DAQ device. You can increase the output voltage level to
±20 V by connecting two SCC-AO10 modules in series.

Using the SCC-AO10 This section contains information regarding scaling voltage measurements and isolated ground references. Scaling Voltage Measurements The SCC-AO10 is a ±10 V isolated analog output module. The output voltage is controlled by an E/M Series DAQ device AO output channel, AO (X). The relationship between the AO (X) voltage level and the output voltage level of the SCC-AO10 is a one-to-one linear relationship. That is, V = V AO() X AO10 where V is the AO 0 voltage level AO(X)

5. Adjust the offset potentiometer on the top of the SCC-AO10 until the voltmeter reads 0 VDC ±100 μV. The offset is now calibrated. 6. Using your software, have AO (X) output 9.9 VDC. Adjust the gain potentiometer on the top of the SCC-AO10 until the voltmeter reads 9.9 VDC. The gain is now calibrated. Specifications These ratings are typical at 25 °C unless otherwise stated.
