Page 5: Introduction
Important Notes 1.1.1 Use in Accordance with the Requirements The PC boards of the ME-6000 series are designed for acquisition and output of analog and digital signals with a PC. Depending on type, install the models of the ME-6000 series into:... -
Page 6: Improper Application
As a basic principle, all connections to the board should only be made or removed in a powered-down state of all components. Ensure that no static discharge occurs while handling the board or while connecting/disconnecting the external cable. Ensure that the connection cable is properly connected. -

We take great care to ensure your delivery is complete. Nonethe- less, please check the list enclosed to verify the contents of your delivery. You should find included: D/A conversion board of the ME-6000 series for PCI- resp. Com- pactPCI-bus. ... - Page 8 = “p“ one another („Island Channels“) Depending on the model the boards of the ME-6000 series pro- vides 4, 8 or 16 D/A channels for bipolar voltage output in the out- put range ±10 V as well as 16 digital I/Os. Each channel has its own high-accuracy, high-speed 16-bit D/A converter.

OEM-versions please contact our sales department under the phone number: +49 8141 52 71-0. System Requirements The ME-6000 series may be installed into any PC with a free standard PCI-, PCI-Express- resp. CompactPCI-slot (32 bit, 33 MHz, 5 V). The board is supported by the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS). -
Page 10: Starting Up
First choose a di- rectory on your computer (e.g. C:\Temp\Meilhaus\ME-iDS). Use the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS) for programming your new data acquisition hardware. For installation and operation of the driver system, please follow the documenta- tion in electronic form included with the software package. -

*Depending on the version not all functional groups available. D/A Section Depending on model, the boards of the ME-6000 series provides up to 16 analog output channels. Each channel has its own serial 16- bit D/A converter and converts up to 500 kS/s. -
Page 13: Notes For Wiring
The output voltage range of the “U-Plus”-channels (ME-6200/ME- 6300) is from 0 V to+50 V-1LSB if the standard output buffer is used. 3.2.1 Notes for Wiring Attention: After power up, the standard D/A channels output - 10 V. After starting the driver the output value changes to 0 V. To guarantee... -
Page 14: Electrical Isolation
a defined power-up condition please start your host computer first and do not power up your external wiring until the driver started. The “U-Plus”-channel of the ME-6200/6300 outputs 0 V immedi- ately after power up. Important Note! Make sure that a reference from the external wiring to PC ground is made. -
Page 15: Island Channels
3.2.3 Island Channels With the “p”-Option (“Island Channels”) all the D/A channels use in- dependent ground levels and supply pins. I.E. you have to connect the ground reference of each channel (GND_0…15) with the appro- priate GND of your external application. Further on, every island channel requires an independent, symmetrical power supply of ±15 V (±22 mA per channel for I = ±15 mA). -
Page 16: Option "High Current
3.2.4 Option “High Current” The option “High Current” (HC) can be combined with the board versions without “island channels”. It gives you the possibility to in- crease the output current per channel to I = ±15 mA. This re- quires an external, low-noise power supply of ±15 V (±22 mA per channel for I = ±15 mA) and a change to your hardware –... -
Page 17: Digital-I/O Section
It is important that the voltage levels of the external trigger input wiring be within the specified limits (see specifications on page 22) and that a reference to ground (GND_ ) be made. The opto-isolated trigger inputs work with a high level of +5 V. For low level a current I of 7.5 mA ≤... - Page 18 It is important that the voltage levels of the digital input/output wiring be within the TTL level limits (see specifications on page 22) and that a reference to PC ground (PC_GND) be made. The maxi- mum output current is I = 10 mA.
