    Information on how to select and download the appropriate driver can be found in the document “Quick installation PC boards” (see PDF link). The installation of drivers of the type “ADDI-DATA Multiarchitecture Device Drivers 32-/64-Bit for x86/AMD64” as well as the installation of the corresponding samples is described in the installation instructions (see PDF link).

  • Page 19: Function Description

    4 Function description 4.1 Analog inputs Up to 4 differential signals can be connected to the APCI-3003 board. Each channel has its own A/D converter. A high throughput rate (400 kHz per channel) can be reached by a simultaneous conversion of all four channels.

  • Page 20: Analog Input Circuit

    Ω Ω not fitted) 4.1.3 Input modes of the analog inputs For analog input, four differential channels are available on the APCI-3003 board. The acquisition can be carried out in the following modes: 1) Simple mode 2) Scan mode 3) Sequence mode (with DMA function) 4) Auto-refresh mode.
  • Page 21 Function description APCI-3003 1) Simple mode The software initialises and starts the A/D conversion. After that it reads in the digital value from one or more channels. This can be done either with or without interrupt. 2) Scan mode There are 6 different scan modes:...
  • Page 22 Function description APCI-3003 a) Software-triggered single scan The user interrupt routine is called up after the last IRQ (= ADDI-DATA driver). NOTICE! Please note that the DMA function is not used in Scan mode. b) Hardware-triggered single scan This scan can be triggered with a rising or falling edge (initialisation through software).
  • Page 23 Function description APCI-3003 d) Software-triggered continuous scan with timer delay e) Hardware-triggered continuous scan NOTICE! Please note that in this scan mode, the external signal triggers only one scan at a time. f) Hardware-triggered continuous scan with timer delay www.addi-data.com...
  • Page 24 Function description APCI-3003 3) Sequence mode (with DMA function) Two sequence modes are available, which are described below with two examples each: a) Simple sequence mode (examples 1 and 2) b) Sequence mode with delay (examples 1 and 2) NOTICE! Please note that the Sequence mode always uses the DMA function (Direct Memory Access).
  • Page 25 Function description APCI-3003 Simple sequence mode - example 2 Here, the interrupt is released after 2 sequences (10 acquisitions). The entire acquisition is completed via the following function: i_PCI3003_StopAnalogAcquisition b_ChannelCount = 4 pb_Channel = 0, 1, 2, 3 dw_SequenceCount = 0...
  • Page 26 Function description APCI-3003 Sequence mode with delay - example 2 In this example, the delay between the end of a sequence and the start of the next one is 20 μs. b_ChannelCount = 4 pb_Channel = 0, 1, 2, 3...

  • Page 27: Digital Inputs

    Function description APCI-3003 4.2 Digital inputs The digital inputs acquire external signal states. The input information is loaded as a numeric value in a memory cell of the system via the driver function. This numeric value represents the status of the input signals.

  • Page 28: Digital Outputs

    Function description APCI-3003 4.3 Digital outputs For the digital outputs, positive logic is used: • Logic “1”: Set output through software • Logic “0”: Reset output The maximum supply voltage is 30 V. Each output can switch a current of 50 mA. The total current of all outputs is limited to 300 mA by a polyswitch fuse element.

  • Page 29: Timer

    APCI-3003 4.4 Timer The APCI-3003 board is fitted with a timer. Independently from the PC clock, the timer provides a time base to synchronise operations, for example. The 16-bit timer is a downward counter which can release an interrupt after the programmed cycle time has elapsed (time-out).
