Also connect the analog ground on this product to the signal source ground.

  • Page 53: Connecting The Digital I/O And Control Signal

    3. External Connection Connecting the Digital I/O and Control Signal This section shows how to connect the digital I/O signal and control signal (“External Sampling Clock Input”, “External Trigger Input” and so on) by using a flat cable. Connect CN1 to the external device by using the optional flat cable (PCA96P-1.5). All the digital I/O signals and control signals are TTL level signals.

  • Page 54: 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 This product 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 55: 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 56 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. AD12-64(PCI) : The range is specified by setting the software. AD12-16(PCI) : The range is specified by setting the software.
  • Page 57 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 58 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 This product starts sampling and storing input data to memory immediately after the operation start command is issued.
  • Page 59 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. This product stops sampling whenever an error occurs irrespective of the stop condition setting. Last sampling count This product stops sampling after storing input data to memory for the specified number of times of sampling.

  • Page 60: 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, this product 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, this product stops sampling the moment the sampling stop condition is satisfied.

  • Page 61: 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 62 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 63 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 64: 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.

When the number of input points of a device is 4, the bits are determined as bit 0 to bit 3. bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 Input in Bits The state 1 (ON) or 0 (OFF) of each input bit can be obtained by specifying the bit.

When the number of output points of a device is 4, the bits are determined as bit 0 to bit 3. bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 Output in Bits The state of each output bit can be changed to ON or OFF by specifying the bit and setting it to 1 or 0.
