Does anyone have a nifty circuit that will replicate a 0v to 5v DC
signal across an opto-isolated path..??  I need to read a meter
in a hostile environment with an A/D in a PC.  I don't want the
PC to get near this meter... this meter will be read, maybe, 10 or
15 times a second so frequency response is not critical...

I've thought about serial A/D and D/A chips...  but I haven't
found any that use the same data format over the serial link...
maybe I missed something.

I've also though about a voltage->frequency ... frequency->voltage
converter and this seems workable...  maybe someone has a circuit
like this.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks--  Chris
