Unknown QBUS board

Hi!

A few month ago I acquired a VAXstation 3200. It runs runs very nicely
with a Emulex UC08 SCSI-Controller off a 1GB full-height SCSI-Disk.

There is one QBUS card in the system that I can't identify.
As far as I know the VAX has been used for measurement data aquisition
in a physics laboratory.
The only connector to the outside is for a 40-pin ribbon cable. I got a
very long (10m I guess) cable with the box so I suppose it is using some
kind of differential data transmission.
Unfortunately I don't know what was connected to the other end of the
cable. Probably the card is useless without that second part (maybe a
A/D-Converter?).

The board occupies all 4 slots and is populated mostly with small ICs of
the 74xxx series and some PALs.

The Label says:

KINETICSYSTEMS
MODEL D1571
MODEL 2922-Z1B

I did not find any usable information on he net. Does anyone of you know
what this board does?

Thanks in advance,
   Sebastian
