  • Page 25 PCI-9112 2.5 Hardware Installation Outline 2.5.1 PCI Configuration PCI cards (or CompactPCI cards) are equipped with plug and play PCI controllers and can request base addresses and interrupts according to PCI standards. The system BIOS will install the sys- tem resources based on the PCI cards’ configuration registers and system parameters (which are set by the system BIOS).
  • Page 26 2.5.3 Installation Procedures 1. Turn off your computer. 2. Turn off all peripherals connected to your computer (printer, monitor, etc.). 3. Remove the cover from your computer. 4. Setup jumpers on the PCI or CompactPCI card. 5. Select a 32-bit PCI slot. PCI slot are shorter than ISA or EISA slots, and are usually white or ivory.
  • Page 27 PCI-9112 2.6 Device Installation for Windows Systems Once Windows 7/10 has started, the Plug and Play function of Windows system will find the new NuDAQ cards. If this is the first time the NuDAQ cards are running on your Windows system, you will be prompted to input the device information source.
  • Page 28 2.7 Daughter Board Connection The PCI-9112 can be connected with five different daughter boards. The following are compatible: ACLD-8125, 9137, 9138, 9182, 9185, and 9188. The functionality and connections are specified in the following sections. 2.7.1 Connect with ACLD-8125 The ACLD-8125 has a 37-pin D-sub connector, which can connect to the PCI-9112 through the 37-pin assemble cable.
  • Page 29 PCI-9112 2.7.3 Connect with ACLD-9182 The ACLD-9182 is a 16-channel isolated digital input board. This board is connected to CN1 of the PCI-9112 via the 20-pin flat cable. The ACLD-9182 provides 500V DC isolation voltage protec- tion, thus protecting your PC system from damage in event that abnormal input signals occur.

  • Page 31 PCI-9112 Operation Theory This chapter describes the operation theory of the PCI-9112 card functions. The functions include A/D conversion, D/A conversion, Digital I/O and counter/timer usage. The operation theory can help you to understand how to configure or to program the PCI-9112. 3.1 A/D Conversion Before programming the PCI-9112 to perform any A/D conver- sions, you should have an understanding of the following:...
  • Page 32 3.2 Analog Input Signal Connection The PCI-9112 provides 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels. The analog signals can be converted to digital values by the A/D converter. To avoid ground loops and to obtain more accurate measurements, it is important to under- stand the signal source type and how to choose the analog input modes, either signal-ended or differential.
  • Page 33 PCI-9112 Differential Input Mode The differential input mode provides two inputs that respond to differences in signals. If the signal source has one side con- nected to local ground, the differential mode can be used to reduce the effect of ground loops. Figure 3-2 shows the con- nection for differential input mode.
  • Page 34 A differential mode must be used when the signal source is dif- ferential. A differential source means that the ends of the signal are not grounded. To avoid the danger of high voltages between the local ground of the signal and the ground of the PC system, a shorted ground path must be connected.
  • Page 35 PCI-9112 3.2.1 A/D Conversion Procedure A/D conversion starts when a trigger is set by the trigger source. The PCI-9112 provides three trigger modes. See section 3.2.2. While A/D conversion is in progress, the DRDY bit in the A/D status register is cleared and indicates that the data is not ready.
  • Page 36 Timer Pacer Trigger An FPGA is used as a trigger source for A/D conversion at a fixed rate. Two counters are cascaded together to generate trigger pulses with precise periods (see section 3.5). This mode is ideal for high speed A/D conversion. It can be combined with the DMA bus mastering or the interrupt data transfer.
  • Page 37 PCI-9112 DMA Transfer The DMA (Direct Memory Access) bus master allows data to be transferred directly between the PCI-9112 and the PC’s memory at the fastest possible rate, without using up any CPU time. The A/D data is queued in the local FIFO on the PCI-9112 itself and it is automatically transferred to PC's memory.
  • Page 38 3.3 D/A Conversion D/A conversion is less complex than A/D operation. You only need to write digital values into the D/A data registers and the corresponding voltage will be output to AO1 or AO2. The math- ematical relationship between the Digital number DAn and the output voltage is formulated as follows: Vout Vref...
  • Page 39 PCI-9112 3.4 Digital Input and Output The PCI-9112 provides 16 digital input and 16 digital output channels through the connectors CN1 and CN2 on-board. The digital I/O signal is fully TTL/DTL compatible. The digital I/O signals are illustrated in Figure 3-6. To program the digital I/O operation is fairly straightforward.
  • Page 40 3.5 Timer/Counter Operation The PCI-9112 has an interval timer/counter onboard. It offers 3 independent 16-bit programmable down counters; counter 1 and counter 2 are cascaded together for the A/D timer pacer trigger of A/D conversions, and counter 0 is free for user appli- cations.
  • Page 41 PCI-9112 Pacer Trigger Source Counters 1 and 2 are cascaded together to generate the timer pacer trigger for A/D conversion. The frequency of the pacer trigger is software controllable. The maximum pacer signal rate is 2MHz/4 = 500KHz which exceeds the maximum A/D conver- sion rate of the PCI-9112.
