Chapter 1: Installation Backing up the Disk The software provided with the AOBx/12 is in MS-DOS format on diskette. You should make back- up copies for everyday use and place your original master diskette in a safe location. You may make as many back-up copies as needed. -

Source. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to claim CE compliance. The Model AOB8/12 & AOB16/12 are designed to be CE Compliant when used in an CE compli- ant chassis. Maintaining CE Compliance also requires proper cabling and termination techniques. -
Page 12: Chapter 2: Functional Description
Chapter 2: Functional Description The AOB8/12 and AOB16/12 are full-size cards that can be installed in any long I/O slot of PC-AT class computers. They contain either 8 or 16 double-buffered digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and provide 8 or 16 independent analog output channels of 12-bit resolution. Each analog output channel can be configured for ranges of: 0V to +2.5V... -

Page 14: Chapter 3: Option Selection
Chapter 3: Option Selection Voltage output ranges are determined by switch settings as described in the following paragraphs. Also, the method to update D/A outputs is programmable as described here and in the Programming section of this manual. Output Ranges There are three-position switches associated with each DAC channel to make voltage range selec- tion: switches S17 (Channel 0) through S2 (Channel 15). -

Page 16: Chapter 4: Address Selection
Chapter 4: Address Selection The AOBx/12 requires 16 or 32 consecutive address locations in I/O space, respectively. The starting, or base address, can be selected anywhere within an I/O address range 100-3FF hex (except 1F0 through 1F8) in AT-class computers and 200- 3FF in XT-class computers, providing that the address does not overlap with other functions. - Page 17 2. Set the Address Selection DIP Switches The AOB8/12 and AOB16/12 card occupy 16 and 32 bytes of I/O address space, respectively. Address lines A5 through A9 are used to select the base address via DIP switches marked with the same names.

Page 18: Chapter 5: Programming
Chapter 5: Programming Programming the AOB16/12 and AOB8/12 is very straightforward as there are only two operating modes, three range-selection switches per channel, and one unique addition. The basic operation of a Digital-to-Analog card is to write a 12-bit value to a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) preload (outer) register where it is buffered and loaded by an update command to a DAC (inner) register. - Page 19 AOB8/12 & AOB16/12 Manual The AOB8/12 and AOB16/12 cards use 16 and 32 consecutive I/O addresses, respectively. The I/O address map is as follows: Address Write * Read Base + 0 DAC 0 Low Byte Place card in Simultaneous Mode without updating outputs.

Page 24: Chapter 7: Software
Chapter 7: Software The AOBx/12 cards are straightforward to program. The following example is in BASIC, but for languages such as C or Pascal the procedure is simplified by their support of two-byte output operations: To output an analog value with 12-bit resolution, a corresponding decimal number N between 0 and 4095 is calculated (2^12 = 4096). - Page 25 AOB8/12 & AOB16/12 Manual InPort Function: Reads an integer from a hardware port. This function returns the 16-bit value obtained from reading the low byte from address and the high byte from address+1. Declaration: function InPort(byval address as integer) as integer...

Page 26: Chapter 8: Calibration
Chapter 8: Calibration Periodic calibration of the AOBx/12 cards are recommended if they are used in extreme environ- mental conditions. The card uses very stable components but vibration, or high-low temperature cycles might result in slight analog output errors. Factory calibration and periodic calibration of the card includes adjustment of the internal reference voltage unless you are using an external reference voltage. - Page 27 AOB8/12 & AOB16/12 Manual This page intentionally left blank Page 18 Manual Number: 00650-134-4...
