Kemo 8 channel PC filter card

The Kemo CardMaster 8 is a 8 channel filter carrier card. Each channel is configurable with, single ended or differential input, AC/DC coupling, pre filter input gain up to +60 dB, selectable icp current, all set individually for each channel. The CardMaster 8 is designed for use with the Kemo 1200 resistor set filters, or the Kemo 1600 programmable series of filters. These modules are available from stock with a wide range of filter responses to meet a range of applications. With the 1200 modules 3 selectable frequencies, fa, fb, fa+b, can be set by on board jumpers. With the 1600 modules 255 frequencies can be set by on board switches.
