1. Before Using the Product
- Functions and connectors are compatible with PCI compatible board DAI16-4(LPCI)L
The functions same with PCI compatible board DAI16-4(LPCI)L are provided. In addition, as there is
compatibility in terms of connector shape and pin assignments, it is easy to migrate from the existing
system.
< Analog input : AIO-160802LI-PE, AI-1616LI-PE >
- Bus isolation between PC and external analog input circuit by a digital isolator
Isolation between PC and external analog input circuit by a digital isolator improves noise performance.
- The start/end of sampling can be controlled by software, comparison of conversion data, an external
trigger, etc.
You can select from software, comparison of conversion data or an external trigger to control the start of
sampling. You can select from completion of sampling for a specified number of sessions, comparison
of conversion data, an external trigger or software to control the end of sampling. The sampling cycle
can be selected from the internal clock or an external clock.
- Equipped with buffer memory (1K data) that can be used in the FIFO or RING format
The analog input block contains buffer memory (1K data) that can be used in the FIFO or RING format.
This allows for background analog I/O that does not depend on the operation status of the software or
PC.

- Bus isolation between PC and external analog output circuit by a digital isolator
Isolation between PC and external analog output circuit by a digital isolator improves noise
performance.
- The start/end of sampling can be controlled by software, an external trigger, etc.
You can select from software, an external trigger to control the start of sampling. You can select from
completion of sampling for a specified number of sessions, an external trigger or software to control
forcibly the end of sampling. The sampling cycle can be selected from the internal clock or an external
clock.
- Safety design to adjust output voltage to 0V when power supply is turned on
To prevent the unstable voltage and the connected device of D/A converter from fault and malfunctions
when the power supply is turned on, the circuit is designed to adjust output voltage of the analog output
to 0V.
- Equipped with buffer memory (1K data) that can be used in the FIFO or RING format
The analog output block contains buffer memory (1K data) that can be used in the FIFO or RING format.
This allows for background analog output that does not depend on the operation status of the software or
PC.
< Common >
- Digital filter function included to prevent misdetection due to chattering on external signals
A digital filter is included to prevent misdetection due to chattering on the control signal (external trigger
input signal, sampling clock input signal, etc.), digital input signal and counter input signal.
(Except from external clock input signal and counter gate signal)
- Software-based calibration function
Calibration can be all performed by software. Apart from the adjustment information prepared before
shipment, additional adjustment information can be stored according to the use environment.
