Page 19: Chapter 3 Registers Format
Registers Format In this chapter, the register format of the analog output channel and digital I/O ports are introduced. Before programming or applying the 6208 series cards to your applications, please go through this chapter to understand the features of the functions. The 6208 functions as a 32-bit PCI target device to any master on the PCI bus. -
Page 20: Analog Output Registers
3.1 Analog Output Registers There are 8 and 16 voltage output channels for cPCI/PCI-6208V and PCI-6216V respectively. For cPCI/PCI-6208A, there are 8 voltage and current out-put channels, the voltage output controls the current source. The programming method of all the analog output channels are identical. -
Page 21: Analog Output Status Register
3.2 Analog Output Status Register The DAC is with series bus hence it take times to send digital value out. The data transfer time for every DA data write takes 2.2µs, therefore the software driver must wait for 2.2µs before send another data to any analog output port. -
