Model 7707 32-Channel Digital I/O Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Digital I/O The 7707 has four digital input/output channels (11, 12, 13, and 14). Each I/O channel can be set as either a digital input port or a digital output port. Each port has eight lines (bits 0 through 7). When an I/O channel is used as an input port, you can read the state (high or low) of each input line (bit).

Channel 11 is combined with channels 12, 13, and 14 to form the 32-bit output pattern. When channel 11 is set as a double-word, bit 0 of channel 11 (B0) is the LSB, and bit 7 of channel 14 (B31) is the MSB.
Model 7707 32-Channel Digital I/O Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Setting digital outputs Before setting a digital output pattern, an I/O channel must first be set as an output port. This must be done using remote programming. You can set 8-bit patterns (bytes), 16-bit patterns (words), and a 32-bit pattern (double-word).
Model 7707 32-Channel Digital I/O Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Digital inputs You can read digital TTL inputs with the DAQ6510. With one I/O channel set as an input port, eight input lines (bits) are available. With two channels set as input ports, 16 input lines (bits) are available. With three channels set as input ports, 24 input lines (bits) are available.

Model 7707 32-Channel Digital I/O Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Measurement considerations (digital outputs) The 7707 switching module provides thermal short circuit protection. That is, when a channel is programmed as an output, internal circuitry is protected from an inadvertent connection up to 1 A at 25 V. The protection on the 7707 consumes power at approximately 80 mA per channel or 320 mA per 7707 with all four channels (11 to 14 set as 32 bits) programmed as outputs.
