About this User's Guide What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide explains how to install, configure, and use the PCI-DDA08/12 so that you get the most out of its analog output and digital I/O features. This user's guide also refers you to related documents available on our web site, and to technical support resources.
Board configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS. Software features For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your PCI-DDA08/12, refer to the Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device. The Quick Start Guide is also available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf.
In addition to this hardware user's guide, you should also receive the Quick Start Guide (available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf). This booklet supplies a brief description of the software you received with your PCI-DDA08/12 and information regarding installation of that software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware.
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the PCI-DDA08/12 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
C100FF-x cable CIO-TERM100 CIO-MINI50 (two required) The PCI-DDA08/12 uses a single 100-pin high density connector on the back plate of the board to bring out all required digital and analog lines and grounds. Pin out – main I/O connector Table 2-2. I/O connector pin out...

After following the installation instructions in Chapter 2, your board should now be installed and ready for use. Programming languages Measurement Computing’s Universal Library™ provides access to board functions from a variety of Windows programming languages. If you are planning to write programs, or would like to run the example programs for ...
The PCI-DDA08/12 emulates two 82C55 chips, but offers much higher drive capability than the 82C55. The board emulates only Mode 0 of the 82C55 (no strobed I/O or bi-directional I/O bits). The PCI-DDA08/12 is completely plug-and-play, without any onboard user configurable switches or jumpers. The 48 CMOS/TTL compatible digital I/O lines are configured in four banks of eight and four banks of four.

PCI-DDA08/12 User's Guide Functional Details 2.2 KOhm SIP (LO or HI) I/O Lines Figure 4-1. Eight-Resistor SIP Schematic You can install the SIP as either pull-up or pull-down. At each location there are 10 holes in a line. One end of the line is +5V, the other end is GND.
Calibration configuration The PCI-DDA08/12 provides self-calibration of the analog source and measure systems. This eliminates the need for external equipment and user adjustments. The analog output circuits are calibrated for both gain and offset. Gain calibration of the analog output is performed via DAC reference adjustments. Offset adjustments for the analog output is made in the output buffer section.
"In-system" calibration The PCI-DDA08/12 is calibrated at the factory for the correct voltages at the I/O connector. For more precise application of voltages at the "system end", we can provide a version of InstaCal that allows you to calibrate the board within your system for correct voltages at your field connection.
