    Functional Details Basic architecture Figure shows a simplified block diagram of the PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032. This board provides all of the functional elements shown in the figure. The System Timing and Control (STC) is the logical center for all DAQ, DIO, and DAC (if applicable) operations.

  • Page 17: Daq-Sync Signals

    The DAQ-Sync hardware provides the capability of triggering or clocking up to four slave boards from a master board to synchronize data input and/or output. The PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032 boards provide the capability of inter-board synchronization between boards in the PCI-DAS6000 family. There are five trigger/strobes and a synchronizing clock provided on a 14-pin header.
  • Page 18 The master provides this clock to the slave boards so that all boards in the DAQ-sync- enabled system are timed from the same clock. Figure 4. Block diagram – PCI-DAS6030/32 Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...

  • Page 33: Calibrating The Board

    Chapter 4 Calibrating the Board Introduction You should calibrate the board (using the InstaCal utility) after the board has fully warmed up. The recommended warm-up time is 15 minutes. For best results, calibrate the board immediately before making critical measurements. The high resolution analog components on the board are somewhat sensitive to temperature.
  • Page 34 PCI-DAS6030 & PCI-DAS6032 User's Guide Calibrating the Board A similar method is used to calibrate the analog output components. A trim DAC is used to adjust the gain of the DAC. A separate DAC is used to adjust offset on the final output amplifier. The calibration circuits are duplicated for both analog outputs (see Figure 39).
