    ±20 V over-voltage protection when the board is off. DT3000 Series boards can acquire data from a single analog input channel or from a group of analog input channels. Depending on the number of channels supported by the board, channels are numbered 0 to 15, 0 to 31, or 0 to 63 for single-ended and pseudo-differential inputs and 0 to 7, 0 to 15, or 0 to 31 for differential inputs.

  • Page 73: Internal A/D Sample Clock

    Connect an external A/D sample clock to screw terminal TB8 on the DT730 or DT730-T screw terminal panel (pin 8 of connector J1 on the DT3000 Series board). Conversions start on the falling edge of the external A/D sample clock input signal.

  • Page 74: Analog Input Conversion Modes

    Single-value operations stop automatically when finished; you cannot stop a single-value operation. • Scan mode takes full advantage of the capabilities of the DT3000 Series boards. In a scan, you can specify a channel list, clock source, trigger source, scan mode, and buffer. Two scan modes are supported: continuously paced scan mode and triggered scan mode.

  • Page 75: Triggered Scan Mode

    Figure 20: Continuously Paced Scan Mode Triggered Scan Mode DT3000 Series boards support two triggered scan modes: software retriggered and externally retriggered. These modes are described in the following subsections. Software-Retriggered Scan Mode Use software-retriggered scan mode if you want to accurately control both the period between conversions of individual channels in a scan and the period between each scan.

Unless otherwise indicated, these rates assume a gain of 1. b.

  • Page 77: Externally-Retriggered Scan Mode

    When it detects the initial trigger, the board scans the channel list once, then waits for the external retrigger to occur. On DT3000 Series boards, the initial trigger and the retrigger source must be an external digital TTL trigger (TB6 on the DT730 and DT730-T screw terminal or pin 6 of connector J1 on the DT3000 Series board).

  • Page 78: Trigger Sources

    Principles of Operation Trigger Sources A trigger is an event that occurs based on a specified set of conditions. DT3000 Series boards support the following trigger sources: • Software trigger – A software trigger event occurs when you start the analog input operation (the computer issues a write to the board to begin conversions).

  • Page 79: Analog Output Features

    • Analog output conversion modes • Data formats and transfer Analog Output Resolution All DT3000 Series boards (except the DT3002) have a fixed analog output resolution of 12 bits. The analog output resolution cannot be changed in software. Analog Output Channels DT3000 Series boards (except the DT3002) support two analog output channels (DAC0 and DAC1).

  • Page 80: Output Ranges And Gains

    D/A subsystem is 100 kSamples/s. Trigger Sources A trigger is an event that occurs based on a specified set of conditions. DT3000 Series boards support the following trigger sources: • Software trigger – A software trigger event occurs when you start the analog output operation (the computer issues a write to the board to begin conversions).

  • Page 81: Analog Output Conversion Modes

    • External User Gate – This trigger type is supported using the DataAcq SDK only for analog output operations. An external trigger event can occur when the DT3000 Series board detects either a rising or falling edge on the external gate input signal connected to TB5 on the DT730 or DT730-T screw terminal panel (pin 5 of connector J1 on the DT3000 Series board).

  • Page 82: Data Format And Transfer

    Principles of Operation The host computer transfers digital values to write to the DACs from allocated circular buffers in computer memory to the DAC buffer on the board. Use software to allocate the number of host buffers and to specify the values to write to the DACs. When it detects a trigger, the board outputs the values in the onboard buffer to the DACs at the same time.

  • Page 83: Digital I/O Features

    • Digital I/O operation modes Digital I/O Lines DT3000 Series boards support eight digital I/O lines through the digital input (DIN) and output (DOUT) subsystems; both subsystems use the same digital I/O lines. These lines are divided into two banks of four: Bank A, lines 0 to 3; and Bank B, lines 0 to 3. You can use each bank as either an input port or an output port;...

  • Page 87: Counter/Timer Operation Modes

    Chapter 6 Counter/Timer Operation Modes DT3000 Series boards support the following counter/timer operation modes: • Event counting • Frequency measurement • Rate generation • One-shot • Repetitive one-shot Event Counting Use event counting mode to count events from the counter’s associated clock input source.

  • Page 88: Frequency Measurement

    83 for more information on the external C/T clock source. To perform a frequency measurement on the DT3000 Series, use the same wiring as an event counting application that does not use an external gate signal. Use software to specify the counter/timer mode as frequency measurement or event counting, and specify the duration of the Windows timer over which to measure the frequency.

  • Page 89: One-Shot

    Chapter 6 Using software, specify the counter/timer mode as rate generation (rate), the C/T clock source as either internal or external, the polarity of the output pulses (high-to-low transitions), the duty cycle of the output pulses (50 or 100 only), and the gate type that enables the operation.

  • Page 90: Repetitive One-Shot

    Principles of Operation Note: In the case of a one-shot operation, the pulse width is automatically set to 100%. Ensure that the signals are wired appropriately. Figure 27 shows an example of a one-shot operation using an external gate input (rising edge), a clock output frequency of 1 kHz (pulse period of 1 ms), and a high-to-low pulse type.
  • Page 91 Chapter 6 Note: In the case of a repetitive one-shot operation, the pulse width is automatically set to 100%.

  • Page 141 This appendix describes additional considerations to keep in mind when designing your own screw terminal panel for use with a DT3000 Series board. Refer to Appendix B for connector and cable specifications.

  • Page 142: Analog Inputs

    Using Your Own Screw Terminal Panel Analog Inputs DT3000 Series boards have three different types of analog input configurations that you can use: • Single-ended • Pseudo-differential • Differential This section describes wiring considerations for these analog input configurations. Single-Ended Inputs With single-ended inputs, you have the maximum number of inputs but the worst-case noise immunity without external signal conditioning.

  • Page 143: Differential Inputs

    Appendix C If it is available, use Amp Low as a remote ground sense when running in pseudo-differential mode. Differential Inputs Differential inputs offer the maximum noise rejection at the expense of half your total channel count. For the best results, shielded twisted pairs are a must. The shield must connect at one end so that ground currents do not travel over the shield.

  • Page 144: Analog Outputs

    Using Your Own Screw Terminal Panel Analog Outputs The analog output channels on DT3000 Series boards have a resolution of 12 bits (even though the accuracy may be less). Data Translation ensures that the analog outputs do not break into a high frequency oscillation with high capacitance loads that occur with long cables.

  • Page 145: Digital Inputs And Counter/Timer Inputs

    Appendix C Digital Inputs and Counter/Timer Inputs To prevent damage when power is removed, you must provide current limiting circuitry for TTL-type input. On high-speed clock inputs, a ground that is located in the connector next to the clock must be connected as a twisted pair with the high-speed clock input.

  • Page 146: Digital Outputs

    Using Your Own Screw Terminal Panel Digital Outputs If you are using the high drive capability of a DT3000 Series board, ensure that the load is returned to the digital ground provided in the connector next to the outputs. If just eight of the digital outputs are switching 16 mA per output, then 128 mA of current flows.
