Table 9: Effective Input Range Gain Input Range ±10 V ±5 V ±2.5 V ±1.25 V Using software, specify a range of − 10 V to +10 V. Note that this is the range for the entire analog input subsystem, not the range per channel.

  • Page 84: Input Sample Clock Sources

    Chapter 5 Input Sample Clock Sources DT9834 Series modules allow you to use one of the following clock sources to pace analog input operations: • Internal A/D clock – Using software, specify the clock source as internal and the clock frequency at which to pace the operation.

  • Page 85: Continuous Scan Mode

    Principles of Operation In an abrupt stop, the module stops acquiring samples immediately; the acquired data is not transferred to host memory, and any subsequent triggers are ignored. Continuous Scan Mode Use continuous scan mode if you want to accurately control the period between conversions of individual channels in a scan.

  • Page 86: Triggered Scan Mode

    You can acquire up to 262,144 samples per trigger (256 times per trigger x 1024-location channel list). DT9834 Series modules support two triggered scan modes: software retriggered and externally retriggered. These modes are described in the following subsections.

  • Page 87: Externally-Retriggered Scan Mode

    • External digital (TTL) trigger – An external digital (TTL) trigger event occurs when the DT9834 Series module detects a transition (rising-edge or falling-edge) on the External ADC Trigger input signal connected to the module. Using software, specify the trigger source as an external, positive digital (TTL) trigger for a rising-edge digital trigger, or an external, negative digital (TTL) trigger for a falling-edge digital trigger.

  • Page 88: Data Format And Transfer

    0 and 255, where 0 equals 0 V and 255 equals +10 V. Data Format and Transfer DT9834 Series modules use offset binary data encoding, such as 000 (for 12-bit modules) or 0000 (for 16-bit modules) to represent negative full-scale, and FFFh (for 12-bit modules) or FFFFh (for 16-bit modules) to represent positive full-scale.

  • Page 89: Analog Output Features

    Output Resolution Table 10 lists the output resolution of the DT9834 Series modules that support analog output operations. The resolution is fixed at either 12 bits or 16 bits, depending on the module you are using; you cannot specify the resolution in software.

  • Page 90: Specifying A Single Analog Output Channel

    0 V ±10 mV. Unplugging the module resets the DACs to 0 V. The DT9834 Series modules can output data from a single DAC or sequentially from one or more DACs and/or the digital output port. The following subsections describe how to specify the DACs/port.

  • Page 91: Output Ranges And Gains

    255 corresponds to a 10 V. Output Triggers A trigger is an event that occurs based on a specified set of conditions. The DT9834 Series modules support the following output trigger sources: • Software trigger – A software trigger event occurs when you start the analog output operation.

  • Page 92: Output Conversion Modes

    • Continuous analog output operations take full advantage of the capabilities of the DT9834 Series modules. In this mode, you can specify an output channel list, clock source, trigger source, buffer, and buffer wrap mode. Two continuous analog output modes are supported: continuously paced and waveform generation mode.

  • Page 93: Waveform Generation

    Principles of Operation We recommend that you allocate a minimum of two buffers for a continuously paced analog output operation. Data is written from multiple output buffers continuously; when no more buffers of data are available, the operation stops. The data is gap-free. To stop a continuously paced analog output operation, you can stop queuing buffers for the analog output system, letting the module stop when it runs out of data, or you can perform either an orderly stop or an abrupt stop using software.

  • Page 94: Data Format And Transfer

    Error Conditions The DT9834 Series modules can report an error if one of the following conditions occurs: • Output FIFO Underflow – The output channel list data is not being sent from the host fast enough.

  • Page 95: Digital I/O Features

    A digital line is high if its value is 1; a digital line is low if its value is 0. On power up or reset, a low value (0) is output from each of the digital output lines. The DT9834 Series modules allow you to program the first eight digital input lines to perform interrupt-on-change operations. Refer to page 96 for more information.
  • Page 96 Chapter 5 − Digital output – For digital output operations, enter the digital output port (all 16 digital output lines) as channel 4 in the output channel list; refer to page 90 for more information.

    99 C/T Channels The DT9834 Series modules provide five 32-bit counter/timers. The counters are numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each counter accepts a clock input signal and gate input signal and outputs a pulse (pulse output signal), as shown in...

  • Page 98: C/T Clock Sources

    The frequency of the external C/T clock can range from .004 Hz to 9 MHz. Connect the external clock to the Counter n Clock input signal on the DT9834 Series module. Counter/timer operations start on the rising edge of the clock input signal.

  • Page 99: Pulse Output Types And Duty Cycles

    Specify the gate type in software. Pulse Output Types and Duty Cycles The DT9834 Series modules can output the following types of pulses from each counter/timer: • High-to-low transitions – The low portion of the total pulse output period is the active portion of the counter/timer clock output signal.

  • Page 100: Event Counting

    Chapter 5 • One-shot • Repetitive one-shot Note: The active polarity for each counter/timer operation mode is software-selectable. The following subsections describe these modes in more detail.
