About this User's Guide What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide explains how to install, configure, and use the PCI-DAS1200/JR board so that you get the most out of the analog input and digital I/O features.
PCI-DAS1200/JR User's Guide About this User's Guide Register-level programming You should use the Universal Library to control your board. Only experienced programmers should try register- level programming. If you need to program at the register level in your application, refer to the Register Map for the PCI-DAS1200 Series.
±1.25V. Unipolar input ranges are 0 to 10V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 2.5V, and 0 to 1.25V. All input ranges are software- selectable. The PCI-DAS1200/JR has 24-bits of parallel, digital I/O as two 8-bit ports and two 4-bit ports. Each port can be configured independently as input or output.

In addition to this hardware user's guide, you should also receive the Quick Start Guide (available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf). This booklet supplies a brief description of the software you received with your PCI-DAS1200/JR and information regarding installation of that software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware.
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the PCI-DAS1200/JR from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
Installing the PCI-DAS1200/JR Configuring the hardware All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS1200/JR are software controlled. You can select some of the configuration options using InstaCal, such as the analog input configuration (16 single-ended or eight differential channels) and the source for the two independent counters. Once selected, any program that uses the Universal Library will initialize the hardware according to these selections.
