Detailed reading of this guide and following the instructions precisely are highly recommended for achieving full quality and to prevent any damage during installation. For further information see manufacturer's website http://www.tedia.eu. Hardware configuration The PCA-8x88 card contains a single configuration element - a two-segment DIP switch (the status of this switch can be read by the program to identify multiple cards as CardID value).
PCA-8288, PCA-8688 User Guide Analog Outputs Introduction The PCA-8x88 cards offer eight analog outputs together isolated from the computer (ie. all outputs are created by one isolated circuit block). All outputs use the D-Sub 25 connector located on the card bracket.
Check the Appendix, Figure 4 for detail information. Note: Unfortunately, the concept of bidirectional ports does not provide the overvoltage protection available to other ports of PCI/PCIe TEDIA cards. Interrupt logic The PCA-8x88 card allows to trigger an interrupt (simultaneously with the timestamp IRQ generator) by any combination of rising or falling edges of the signals of all digital ports.
