1.1 INTRODUCTION
The XVME-360 Analog Input Module (hereafter referred to as the AIN) is a VMEbus
compatible module which can perform 12-bit resolution A/D conversions on up to 64
different input channels. The AIN can be programmed to operate in the following four
different modes:
single channel conversion
l
repeated conversions on one channel
l
conversions on sequential channels
external triggering of conversion
Other features of the AIN include:
Jumper selectable voltage input ranges of +lOV,
l
Programmable gain of 1,2,4 or 8
Can
interrupt
20 KHz conversion rate
l
Possible applications for the AIN
Data acquisition

1.2 HOW THIS MANUAL IS ORGANIZED
This chapter provides a functional overview of the AIN and presents the features of
XYCOM's Standard I/O Architecture.
explained in the following fashion:
Chapter Two - Installation -- Presents information required for module installa-
tion.
Chapter Three - Programming -- Presents information required to program
operating modes, access data, and perform module calibration.
The appendices at the rear of this manual provide information on XYCOM's
I/O Architecture, VMEbus connector/pin description, module schematics and a quick
reference of module addresses and jumpers.
