DAQ devices. All these software packages are available on Advantech website: http://www.advantech.com/. The Advantech Navigator is a utility that allows you to set up, configure and test your device, and later stores your settings in a proprietary database.
FPGA Code Updates The FPGA can also be updated via the interface in Navigator. However, it is not advised to update FPGA without first doing some research. Advantech strongly sug- gests you consult your technical support before starting an FPGA update.

ADC in channel by channel order. That is, only one channel at a time is being converted. This architecture is called multiplexed analog input. Analog input signal connection and internal functional block diagram is shown in Figure 2. 1. Figure 2.1 Analog input signal connection PCIE-1810 User Manual...
In this configuration, however, the output voltage is not calibrated, and the accuracy of the output voltage depends on the accuracy of the external reference voltage. Users can perform calibration through the calibration utility in the Advantech Navigator by themselves.
And another trigger occurs only if the signal has crossed the voltage specified by the threshold level minus the hysteresis value from above before it crosses the threshold level from below again. This is shown in Figure 2. 5. Figure 2.5 Rising edge active analog trigger PCIE-1810 User Manual...

Each counter output channel can source or sink only a finite amount of current. If this limit is exceeded, the output voltage will not stay in the specified voltage logic level. Refer to the device specifications for the maximum source and sink current values. PCIE-1810 User Manual...
Figure 2. 16. Figure 2.16 Ground loop effect If differential (ungrounded) input configuration is used instead, the high input imped- ance of the negative input terminal prevents ground loop current from flowing, and therefore rejects the common-mode noise. PCIE-1810 User Manual...
However, this will lead to an unbalanced system if the source impedance is relatively high. A balanced system is desirable from a noise immunity point of view. PCIE-1810 User Manual...
Board ID Configuration The PCIE-1810 has a built-in DIP switch (SW1), which is used to define each card’s board ID. When there are multiple cards on the same chassis, this board ID switch is useful for identifying each card’s device number.

Buffered acquisition is also called hardware-timed acquisition. The advantages of buffered acquisition over instant acquisition include: The sample rate can be much higher. The time of sample is deterministic. Hardware triggers can be used. PCIE-1810 User Manual...
The update then occurs simulta- neously for all analog output channels when the synchronous write command is issued. This is shown in Figure 3. 5. Figure 3.4 Analog output asynchronous update PCIE-1810 User Manual...
