The AO16 is a 16-channel analog output module that provides normalized analog copies of all input signals captured by the Simcenter SCADAS Mobile front end. The AO16 module occupies a Simcenter SCADAS Mobile slot and can precisely output any conditioned input signal, regardless of the type of conditioner.

The AO16 selects the appropriate data streams from the digital bus traffic on the Simcenter SCADAS Mobile backplane that correspond to the input channels selected by the user for monitoring. These data streams are sent to up to 16 digital-to-analog converters, which reconstruct the analog signals as if they had been acquired by the ADCs in the corresponding input channels.
