Page 24: Programming The Card
MODULE ARCHITECTURE The 8-bit version of the 50-295A Resistor Card is available with 10 or 18 separate channels which can be programmed with values between 0Ω and 255Ω. 12-bit, 16-bit and 24-bit versions are also available which have fewer channels and a greater resistance range - see the Specifications section for details. - Page 25 SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering Here are examples of using the drivers with the 8-bit versions of the 50-295A. Other versions operate in the same way but have a different number of bits in their sub-units. Using PILPXI To operate a relay the user could use the simple OpBit command or the WriteSub commands OpBit DWORD sub_unit = 1;...
