Contec AO-1616L-LPE Quick Start Manual

100KSPS 16-bit 16ch Analog Output Board
for PCI Express(Low Profile)
AO-1616L-LPE
* Specifications, color and design of the products are subject to
change without notice.
Features
High precision analog output 16 channels, each 4 channels
for digital I/O, counter 1 channel
This product has analog output (10µsec, 16-bit, 16 channels),
analog output control signal (LVTTL level 3 channels), digital I/O
(each 4 channels for LVTTL level), counter (32-bit, LVTTL level 1
channel).
The start/end of sampling can be controlled by software, an
external trigger, etc.
You can select from software, an external trigger to control the
start of sampling. You can select from completion of sampling for
a specified number of sessions, an external trigger or software to
control forcibly the end of sampling. The sampling cycle can be
selected from the internal clock or an external clock.
Safety design to adjust output voltage to 0V when power
supply is turned on
To prevent the unstable voltage and the connected device of D/A
converter from fault and malfunctions when the power supply is
turned on, the circuit is designed to adjust output voltage of the
analog output to 0V.
Equipped with buffer memory (1K data) that can be used in
the FIFO or RING format
The block contains buffer memory (1K data) that can be used in
the FIFO or RING format. This allows for background analog
output that does not depend on the operation status of the
software or PC.
Digital filter function included to prevent misdetection due
to chattering on external signals
A digital filter is included to prevent misdetection due to
chattering on the control signal (external trigger input signal,
sampling clock input signal, etc.), digital input signal and counter
input signal.
(Except from external clock input signal and counter gate signal)

This product is a Low Profile PCI Express bus-compliant
interface board used to provide an analog signal output function
on a PC.
This product is multifunction type with 16-bit analog output 16
channels, digital I/O and counter function.
This product carries buffer memory for 1K of data, allowing
sampling to be performed in a variety of trigger / clock
conditions.
Windows/Linux driver is bundled with this product.
Possible to be used as a data recording device for MATLAB and
LabVIEW, with dedicated libraries.
Functions and connectors are compatible with PCI
compatible board DA16-16(LPCI)L
The functions same with PCI compatible board DA16-16(LPCI)L
are provided.
In addition, as there is compatibility in terms of connector shape
and pin assignments, it is easy to migrate from the existing
system.
Support for both of low-profile and standard PCI slots
(interchangeable with a bundled bracket)
This product has each bracket for both low-profile size slot and
standard size slot. If you wish to mount this product in a
standard size slot, replace this with the standard size bracket.
Software-based calibration function
Calibration of analog output can be all performed by software.
Apart from the adjustment information prepared before shipment,
additional adjustment information can be stored according to the
use environment.
Windows/Linux compatible driver libraries are attached.
Using the attached driver library API-PAC(W32) makes it
possible to create applications of Window/Linux. In addition, a
diagnostic program by which the operations of hardware can be
checked is provided.
MATLAB and LabVIEW is supported by a plug-in of
dedicated library VI-DAQ.
Using the dedicated library MATLAB and VI-DAQ makes it
possible to make a LabVIEW application.
