    The board also features a wait state generator that you enable with an on-board jumper. Software features For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your CIO-DAC08, refer to the Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device. The Quick Start Guide is also available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf...

    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 CIO-DAC08 and information regarding installation of that software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware.

    Quick-Start.pdf. Configuring the CIO-DAC08 The CIO-DAC08 has one base address switch, one bank of gain switches for each analog output channel, a simultaneous update jumper for each DAC pair, a "power-up state" selection jumper, and one wait state jumper which you must set before installing the board in your computer. The InstaCal calibration and test program included with the CIO-DAC08 will show you how to set the switches.
  • Page 10 Serial port The CIO-DAC08 Base switch can be set for an address in the range of 000-3E0, so it should not be hard to find a free address area for your CIO-DAC08. If you are not using IBM prototyping cards, or some other board which occupies these addresses, then 300-31F HEX are free to use.
  • Page 11: Wait State Jumper

    Wait state jumper The CIO-DAC08 board has a wait state jumper which you can set to enable an on-board wait state generator. A wait state is an extra delay injected into the processor's clock via the bus. This delay slows down the processor when the processor addresses the CIO-DAC08 board so that signals from slow devices (chips) will be valid.

    ±5V range (switch settings UP>DN>DN>UP>DN). Installing the CIO-DAC08 After you configure the board's switches and jumpers, you can install the CIO-DAC08 into your computer. To install your board, follow the steps below. Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software.

    CIO-DAC08 User's Guide Installing the CIO-DAC08 The analog outputs of the CIO-DAC08 are two-wire hook-ups. Always use low-level ground (LLGND) as the ground reference for all analog hook-ups. Cabling The red stripe identifies pin # 1 Figure 7. C37FF-x cable Figure 8.
  • Page 15: Programming And Developing Applications

    You should use the Universal Library or one of the packaged application programs mentioned above 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 CIO-DAC08 and CIO-DAC16. This document is available on our website at www.mccdaq.com/registermaps/RegMapCIO-...

    As the load resistance decreases, the output load increases. The OP07 responds by producing a lower output voltage. If your CIO-DAC08 will not produce the output voltage specified by the code & range combination, it is a good idea to check the load with an ohm meter.
