Page 8: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED General Information The PCI236 cards are Plug and Play compatible and come complete with all the software required to install and operate the card in any PCI version 2.1 compliant host PC running under Windows NT, 95, 98, Me & 2000 and allow full card functionality. Host Computer Requirements When installing one or more PCI236 series boards, ensure that the host computer has sufficient capacity. -
Page 9: Software Installation
Software Installation Please refer to the ADIO software manual, ampdio32manual.pdf, for the latest Windows 32-bit driver installation information. 2.4.1 Windows 95/98/Me Installation The Windows 95 drivers supplied with this card are compatible with installation and operation under Windows 98 and Windows Me. To install the drivers under Windows 95: 1. -
Page 10: Windows Nt4.0 Installation
2.4.2 Windows NT4.0 Installation Please ensure that PLUG n PLAY OS (or equivalent) option on the BIOS settings screen is set to NO or OFF. The driver is installed as part of the set-up process for the remaining software. 1. To install the example software, rerun Amplicon Softman CD and select the 'Access your manual and software' button, and then double click on the '32 bit' software button for the PCI236. -
Page 11: Application Software
Application Software Example application software, including source code for the applications and the DLL are supplied in the self-extracting archive AMPDIO.EXE along with the SETUP program. When the self-extracting archive is run and software is extracted to a suitable directory (e.g. C:\AMPLICON\AMPDIO), the examples and DLL source code can be found in subdirectories off this directory. -

(c) Look down the list for the device called ‘AmpDIO’ and verify that its status is ‘Started’. To verify that the driver has recognised the card: (a) Open the Control Panel, e.g. via ‘Start’ -> ‘Settings’ -> ‘Control Panel’. (b) Double click the ‘Amplicon DIO’ icon (or open it from the Control Panel’s File menu). (c) Select each of the ‘DIOn’... -
Page 13: Digital I/O
Digital I/O This digital I/O board features an uncommitted 82C55 CMOS Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) which can be configured in a variety of operating modes. The operational mode for each port is established by writing to the control register of the 82C55. This control word also establishes whether the port is configured to operate as input, output or bi-directional. -
Page 14: Digital I/O Conditions
Digital I/O Conditions The digital I/O lines on ports A, B and C are TTL compatible. When an input line is left open circuit, its high input impedance makes it susceptible to static charge and interference and the state may be indeterminate. Ensure that signals to any inputs are within the above limits, and that any unused input lines are grounded or masked out in software. -

• High current output • Resistor capacitor filtered input • Schmitt input • Opto-isolated input • Opto-isolated output 2.10 Digital I/O Connections The three ports of the PPI are all terminated on the rear 37 way D type connector PL1, and use pin 37 for the digital ground connection. -

Page 17: Electrical Connections
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS This chapter describes the signal and control connections that the user must make between the PCI236 and any external devices. These I/O connections are made through the D-type connector protruding from the PC adapter slot corresponding to the chosen board position. The metal shell connected to the local PC chassis ground. -
Page 18: Voltage Outputs Available On Pl1
Voltage Outputs Available on PL1 In addition to the 24 digital I/O lines, the PC voltage rails are brought out on PL1, the I/O connector. These rails are +5, +12 and -12 VDC. No more than 1.0 A should be drawn from the +5 V rail and no more than 100 mA from either of the other rails. -
