Digital inputs and counter inputs can be synchronously scanned [along with analog inputs] but do not affect the overall A/D rate because they use no time slot in the scanning sequencer.

  • Page 26 Driver support only. Calibration Every range of a DaqBoard/3000 Series device is calibrated at the factory using a digital NIST traceable calibration method. This method works by storing a correction factor for each range on the unit at the time of calibration.
  • Page 27 Digital outputs can be updated asynchronously at anytime before, during or after an acquisition. Two of the 8-bit ports can also be used to generate a 16-bit digital pattern at up to 12 MHz. The DaqBoard/3000 Series boards support digital pattern generation via Bus Mastering DMA. In the same manner as analog output, the digital pattern can be read from PC RAM or a file on the hard disk.

    Calibrating DBK Expansion Options If the primary data acquisition device (DaqBook, or DaqBoard) is out of its calibration period, calibrate that device prior to calibrating the DBK expansion option. An alternative to using DaqCal is to contact the factory or your service representative to schedule a factory calibration. After launching DaqCal, select the device to be calibrated from the device inventory list.

    There are 16 different debounce times. In either debounce mode, the debounce time selected determines how fast the signal can change and still be recognized. The two debounce modes are “trigger after stable” and “trigger before stable.” A discussion of the two modes follows. Debounce Model DaqBoard/3000 Series User’s Manual Counter Input Modes 918494...

  • Page 86 Analog Outputs Applicable to DaqBoard/3000 and /3001 only Analog output channels are updated synchronously relative to scanned inputs, and clocked from either an internal onboard clock, or an external clock source. Analog outputs can also be updated asynchronously, independent of any other scanning in the system. Bus mastering DMA provides CPU and system-independent data transfers, ensuring accurate outputs that are irrespective of other system activities.

  • Page 107 Glossary Acquisition A collection of scans acquired at a specified rate as controlled by the sequencer. Analog A signal of varying voltage or current that communicates data. Analog-to-Digital A circuit or device that converts analog values into digital values, such as binary bits, for use in digital Converter (ADC) computer processing.
  • Page 108 Differential mode Differential mode voltage refers to a voltage difference between two signals that are referenced to a common voltage point. Example: Signal 1 is +5 VDC referenced to common. Signal 2 is +6 VDC referenced to common. If the +5 VDC signal is used as the reference, the differential mode voltage is +1 VDC (+ 6 VDC - +5 VDC = +1 VDC).
