    — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual 1. Analog Input Function The product converts analog signals to digital data according to the resolution and stores it in memory. You can set a variety of conditions for analog input, including the input channel, sampling period, and sampling start/stop conditions.

  • Page 66: Setting The Conversion Conditions

    — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual 1. Setting the Conversion Conditions First, set the conditions for executing analog input.  Resolution “Resolution” signifies the number of bits used by an analog input device to represent analog signals. The higher the resolution, the more finely the voltage range is segmented, allowing the device to convert analog values to digital equivalents more precisely.
  • Page 67 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual  Channel “Channel” represents each channel No. of analog input signal. For channel numbers, see “Connecting an Interface Connector(Page45)”. Any number of analog inputs can be performed by setting up channels with software.
  • Page 68 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual  Data Transfer Method A device buffer mode is available, which uses the device's or driver's conversion data storage memory. When conversion starts, data is saved in the device buffer (memory on the device itself or in the driver).
  • Page 69 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual  Memory Format You can select memory format by software. FIFO format In the FIFO (First In First Out) format, conversion data are read from memory in the same order in which they were written to the memory. Conversion data are fed out of the memory sequentially, where the oldest one is always read from the memory.
  • Page 70 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual  Clock The sampling clock controls the sampling frequency. You can select either the internal sampling clock, or external sampling clock. Internal sampling clock The clock signal from the installed clock generator is used.
  • Page 71 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual The above sketch shows that the level comparison condition is satisfied in the falling direction. The start condition is satisfied when the analog signal at the specified channel passes the comparison level in the falling direction. Conversion data are stored to memory, starting with those at solid dots.
  • Page 72 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual  Stop Condition The condition for controlling the stop of sampling can be selected from among the last sampling count, conversion data comparison, an external trigger, and software abort. The product stops sampling whenever an error occurs irrespective of the stop condition setting.

  • Page 73: Starting/Stopping Operation

    — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual External trigger The product starts waiting for an external control signal as soon as the operation start command is output.

  • Page 74: Monitoring The Status And Acquiring Data

    — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual 3. Monitoring the Status and Acquiring Data Software commands are used to monitor the operation status of the device and to acquire conversion data from memory. Status monitoring and data acquisition can be performed even during sampling.
  • Page 75 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual AD conversion error If the “device operating” status remains ON (without terminating conversion) for an extended period of time, the driver regards that state as an operation error and sets this status to ON. This error stops sampling.
  • Page 76 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual Data acquisition in RING format When ring memory is used, data is read always with respect to the current input data write position. The following sketch shows an image of data acquisition in ring format.
  • Page 77 — — Function AI-1608VIN-USB / AI-1608AIN-USB Reference Manual  Conversion data The following equation represents the relation between conversion data and voltage. Voltage or Current = Conversion data x (Max. range value - Min. range value) ÷ Resolution + Min.
