+/-10 Volts, +/-5 Volts, +/-3 Volts, +/- 2.5V to 7.5 Volts • Reliable Software Calibration - Calibration coefficients stored on-board provide the means for accurate software calibration of the module. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 5 - - 5 - https://www.acromag.com http://www.acromag.com...
Compatibility – PCI Express Base Specification v2.1 compliant PCI Express Endpoint. 1.4 Signal Interface Products This AcroPack Module will mate directly to all Acromag AP carriers. Once connected, the module is accessed via a front panel connector. The cables and termination panels are also available. For optimum performance with the AP231 analog output module, use of the shortest possible length of shielded I/O cable is recommended.
AcroPack modules, VPX I/O board products, and PCIe I/O Cards. The software is implemented as a library of “C” functions which link with existing user code to make possible simple control of all Acromag AcroPack modules. 1.6 References The following resources regarding AcroPack modules are available for download on Acromag’s website or by contacting your sales representative.
It is important that the user employ satisfactory overall system design. It is understood and agreed by the Buyer and Acromag that this is the Buyer's responsibility.
Refer to the specifications section for loading and power requirements. Be sure that the system power supplies are able to accommodate the power IMPORTANT: Adequate air requirements of the system boards, plus the installed Acromag board, circulation must be provided to within the voltage tolerances specified.
COEX1, COEX2 – wireless transmitter control are reassigned to JTAG signals TMS and TCK Lastly, UIM_C4, UIM_C8 – reserved User Identity Module signals are reassigned to JTAG signals TDI and TDO. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 13 - - 13 - https://www.acromag.com...

The Simultaneous Mode register must be written to first. Then, writing to the Simultaneous Output Trigger register creates the trigger for digital data to be converted and transferred to the board’s field connector. The digital Acromag, Inc.

Trigger for a DAC output update. Otherwise, old data or unknown data present in the input latches will be transferred to the DAC output latch producing an undesired analog output. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 22 - - 22 - https://www.acromag.com...
32-bit data transfers. The address value written to this register can be read on bits 22 to 16 of the XADC Status/Control register at BAR0 plus 0x48H. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 23 - - 23 - https://www.acromag.com...
Note that the Flash chip select must be set prior to the start of Flash memory instruction. Flash chip select must also be driven high after the instruction is issued. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 24 - - 24 - https://www.acromag.com...
Software calibration uses some fairly complex equations. Acromag provides software products (sold separately) to make communication with the board and calibration easy. It relieves you from having to turn the equations of the following sections into debugged software calibration code.
Typically, each error component is much less than its maximum and all error components do not reinforce each other. Thus, typical errors are much less than that shown above. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 27 - - 27 - https://www.acromag.com...
(IdealCode) written to the 16-bit DAC to achieve a specified voltage within output range assuming Straight Binary (also called Bipolar Offset Binary) or 2’s Complement data format (see Table 3.11 and 3.12). Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 28 - - 28 - https://www.acromag.com...

For applications needing better accuracy, the software calibration coefficients should be used to correct the IdealCode into the CorrectedCode required to accurately produce the output voltage. This is illustrated in equation (2): Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 29 - - 29 - https://www.acromag.com...
