Introduction - Omega Engineering DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT PCI-DIO96 User Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

The PCI-DIO96 is a 96-bit line digital I/O board. The board provides the 96 bits in
four 24-bit groups. Each group provides an 8-bit port A and port B, as well as an
8-bit port C that can be split into independent 4-bit port C-HI and a 4-bit port C-LO.
See Figure 1-1 below.
On power up and reset, all I/O bits are set to input mode. If you are using the board
to control items that must be OFF on reset, you will need to install pull-down
resistors. Provisions have been made on the board to allow users to quickly and
easily install SIP resistor networks in either pull-up or pull-down configurations.
