    Please read – before installing the device – this manual watchfully! Scope of delivery • ALLDAQ board of ADQ-250 series for CompactPCI (4 HP) or PCI Express • Data medium with driver software and documentation Optional as bundle including: • Special terminal block for ADQ-250 series (ADQ-TB-ADQ-250-HUT)

  • Page 6: Location Of Installation And Mounting

    Introduction Manual ADQ-250 series Rev. 0.9 • Ensure that no static discharge can occur passing the board when handling it. Follow the standard ESD safety precautions (see also chapter 2.1 on page 9). • Never connect devices with voltage-carrying parts, especially not with mains voltage. • The user must take appropriate precautions to avoid unforseeable misuse.

  • Page 7: Short Description

    Introduction Short description The measurement boards of the ALLDAQ ADQ-250 series are CompactPCI or PCI-Express boards for high precision voltage measurements in industry and laboratory with a bandwidth of up to 280 kHz. By the potential-free voltage inputs and the full differential sampling parasitic effects like ground loops and common mode errors can be largely rejected.

  • Page 8: System Requirements

    By the ALLDAQ-Manager you have central access to the software developer kit (SDK), several utility programs and help files. The ALLDAQ-Manager can be found in the info area of the taskbar (usually at the bottom right corner of the desktop) or by the Windows Start menu. See also chapter 2.4 on page 11.

  • Page 9: Initial Operation

    Manual ADQ-250 series Rev. 0.9 Initial operation Initial operation Installing the board Please read the manual of your computer prior installing the board regarding the installation of additional hardware components. Handling the board should be done with care to ensure that the device will not be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD), mechanical stress or current surges.

  • Page 10: Software Installation

    Test programm Simple test programs can be found in the ALLDAQ-SDK. For each programming language a sub- directory „Applications“ can be found with test programs for your ALLDAQ hardware. With the ALLDAQ-Manager you can retrieve several information of the installed ADQ hardware.

  • Page 11: Alldaq Manager

    The ALLDAQ-Manager under Windows gives you a quick overview of the parameters of the ALLDAQ driver system and offers a central access to software tools and help files. You can find the ALLDAQ-Manager in the info area of the taskbar (as a rule at the bottom right) or via the Windows start menue.

    Manual ADQ-250 series Rev. 0.9 Balancing/Calibration By the ALLDAQ-Manager you can select which balancing data record (factory or user balancing) should be activated when booting the computer. You can change the setting via the ALLDAQ- Manager. 2.5.1 Factory balancing The ADQ-250 series will be balanced before delivery. The balancing data will be stored into an EEPROM.

    Manual ADQ-250 series Rev. 0.9 Functional groups Figure 11: Timer-controlled acquisition Please note the order of operation as described in the online help. Bi-directional digital I/Os The ADQ-250 series provides one bi-directional 8 bit wide digital I/O port (DIO_7..0). If the digital port is configured as input the pins can be monitored on bit-change and can generate an interrupt event.
