    3. External Connection Surge Voltage Countermeasures When connecting a load that generates surge voltages and inrush currents, such as an induction load (relay coil) or an incandescent light bulb, to the digital output, appropriate protection must be provided in order to prevent damage to the output stage or a malfunction due to noise. The rapid shutoff of a coil, such as a relay, generates a sudden high-voltage pulse.

  • Page 58: Functions

    4. Functions 4. Functions This chapter describes the different functions that can be implemented using the hardware and driver together. Unless stated otherwise, the driver is assumed to be API-AIO(WDM). Analog Input Function The board converts analog signals to digital data according to the resolution and stores it in memory. You can set a variety of conditions for analog input, including the input channel, sampling period, and sampling start/stop conditions.

  • Page 59: Setting The Conversion Conditions

    4. Functions 1. Setting the Conversion Conditions First, set the conditions for executing analog input. Resolution “Resolution” signifies the number of bits used by an analog input device to represent analog signals. The higher the resolution, the more finely the voltage range is segmented, allowing the device to convert analog values to digital equivalents more precisely.
  • Page 60 4. Functions Range “Range” means the range of voltages at which analog input can be performed. The input range can be selected by setting the upper and lower input signals. ADI12-16(PCI) : The range is specified by setting both the jumpers and software. Please refer to the “Chapter2 Setup - Setting the Hardware - Setting the Analog Input”.
  • Page 61 4. Functions Repeat “Repeat” indicates the number of repetitions of sampling to be executed, from when the sampling start condition is satisfied until the end of sampling, including delayed sampling. The number of repetitions is set by means of software, for which conversion is repeated. You can set an infinite number of repetitions, in which case the conversion is terminated by the software abort command.
  • Page 62 4. Functions Start Condition The condition for controlling the start of sampling can be selected from among software, input data comparison and an external trigger. The conditions for controlling the start and stop of sampling are completely independent of each other; they can be set separately. Software The board starts sampling and storing input data to memory immediately after the operation start command is issued.
  • Page 63 4. Functions Stop Condition The condition for controlling the stop of sampling can be selected from among the last sampling count, input data comparison, an external trigger, and software abort. The board stops sampling whenever an error occurs irrespective of the stop condition setting. Last sampling count The board stops sampling after storing input data to memory for the specified number of times of sampling.

  • Page 64: Starting/Stopping Operation

    4. Functions Delay Delayed sampling is performed after the sampling stop condition is satisfied. When a sampling stop condition other than the software abort command is satisfied, the board performs sampling for the specified number of times of delayed sampling to store input data to memory. If you set the number of times of delayed sampling to 0, the board stops sampling the moment the sampling stop condition is satisfied.

  • Page 65: Monitoring The Status And Acquiring Data

    4. Functions 3. Monitoring the Status and Acquiring Data Software commands are used to monitor the operation status of the device and to acquire input data from memory. Status monitoring and data acquisition can be performed even during sampling. Status The current state of the device can be checked by obtaining the device status.
  • Page 66 4. Functions Data acquisition The conversion data stored in memory can be retrieved using a software command. The figure below shows the correspondence between the sampling count and the conversion channel for the conversion data stored in memory. Input data is acquired differently depending on the memory format used. Data acquisition in FIFO format When FIFO memory is used, the oldest data is always read first.
  • Page 67 4. Functions Data acquisition in ring format When ring memory is used, data is read always with respect to the current input data write position. The following sketch shows an image of data acquisition in ring format. The sampling count obtained is always the number of times of sampling for up to the latest data (shaded portion below).

  • Page 68: Reset

    4. Functions 4. Reset Various states can be reset by executing the following reset commands: All reset This command resets the entire device, thereby initializing the device. Status This command resets the sampling clock error status and AD conversion error status. Memory This command resets the following memory related states.
