The SDM-AO4 is a synchronous device for measurement (SDM) that provides four analog outputs. Values in the data logger are transferred to the SDM-AO4 as digital values. The SDM-AO4 then performs a digital-to-analog conversion and outputs an analog voltage signal.
Read MoreThe SDM-AO4 provides four independent, continuous, analog outputs for proportional control or driving strip charts. Measured or processed values in the data logger are scaled to millivolts and transferred to the SDM-AO4 as digital values. The SDM-AO4 then performs a digital to analog conversion and outputs an analog voltage signal. The output voltage level is maintained until updated by the data logger.
The data logger enables individual modules through an addressing scheme; multiple SDMs (in any combination) can be connected to one data logger. After a module is enabled, it operates independently of the data logger until additional commands are received or results are transmitted.

Up to 16 SDM devices can be connected to a single data logger.
The SDMAO4 Instruction controls the SDM-AO4 operation in CRBasic; Instruction 103 controls the SDM-AO4 operation in Edlog.
常方便SDM-AO4从the data logger power supply, but when doing so consideration must be given to the SDM-AO4’s 10.5 mA continuous current drain. The alkaline supply available with the data logger has 7.5 Ahr and will power one SDM-AO4 for less than one month. This supply is not recommended for continuous long-term operation. The data logger’s sealed rechargeable power supply, float charged by an ac supply or solar panel, may be used for long-term operation.
SDM-AO4也可以从外部驱动的12 V supply, independent from the data logger supply. The low side of an external 12 V supply should be connected to data logger ground and not directly to earth grounded.
The SDM-AO4 requires a desiccated, non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. SDM-AO4 serial numbers 2145 or higher have built-in keyhole flanges for mounting to the backplates of Campbell Scientific enclosures; the first unit to use these flanges was shipped in 18 September 1997. Grommets and screws are provided to attach the flanges/bracket to the backplate of our enclosures. Older SDM-AO4s required our 6279 SDM-AO4 Mounting Bracket (now retired) for this purpose.
