Signal Connections Pin Assignments The I/O connectors on the MIOE-3816 are terminal blocks. Figure 3.2 shows the pin assignments for the terminal blocks on the MIOE-3816, and Table 3.3 shows its I/O connector signal description. Figure 3.2 I/O Connector Pin Assignments...
Digital Ground. This pin supplies the refer- ence for the digital channels at the I/O connec- tor as well as the +5V and +12V DC supply. The ground references (AGND and DGND) are connected together on the MIOE-3816. MIOE-3816 User Manual...
(0.3A maximum) 3.3.2 Analog Input Connections The MIOE-3816 supports either 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs. Single-ended Channel Connections Single-ended connections use only one signal wire per channel. The voltage on the line references to the common ground on the card. A signal source without a local ground is called a “floating”...
Page 24
To avoid the ground loop noise effect caused by common-mode voltages, connect the signal ground to the LOW input. Do not connect the LOW input to the MIOE-3816 ground directly. In some cases you may also need a wire connection between the MIOE-3816 ground and the signal source ground for better grounding.
Analog Output Connection The MIOE-3816 provides two AO output channels. You can use the internal precision -5 V or -10 V reference to generate 0 to +5 V or 0 to +10 V AO output. Use an exter- nal reference for other AO output ranges. The maximum reference input voltage is ±10 V and maximum output scaling is ±10 V.
Field Wiring Considerations When you use MIOE-3816 cards to acquire data from outside, noises in the environ- ment might significantly affect the accuracy of your measurements if due cautions are not taken. The following measures will be helpful to reduce possible interference run- ning signal wires between signal sources and the MIOE-3816 card.

B.1.2 Analog Input Ranges and Gains The MIOE-3816 can measure both unipolar and bipolar analog input signals. A uni- polar signal can range from 0 to 10 V FSR (Full Scale Range), while a bipolar signal extends within ±10 V FSR. The MIOE-3816 provides various programmable gain lev- els and each channel is allowed to set its own input range individually.

B.1.4 Analog Input Trigger Modes The MIOE-3816 supports four trigger modes and pause function. User can start or stop the operation by trigger mode selection. An extra 32-bit counter is dedicated to delay-trigger mode and about-trigger mode, and user can set it as the number of delay SCAN CLKs before trigger or the number of holding SCAN CLKs after trigger.
Page 38
SCAN CLKs has been taken after the trigger event. User can set the delay number of SCAN CLKs by a 32-bit counter. Delay to start trigger acquisition starts when the MIOE-3816 detects the trig-ger event and stops when you stop the opera- tion.
Page 39
Once a trigger event happens, the on-going data acquisition will continue until the designated amount of SCAN CLKs have been reached. When the MIOE-3816 detects the selected about-trigger event, the card keeps acquiring the preset number of samples, and kept them on the buffer.
B.1.5 Analog Input SCAN/CONV Clock Source The MIOE-3816 can adopt both internal and external clock sources to accomplish pacer acquisition. You can set the clock and trigger sources conveniently by soft- ware. The figure can help you understand the routing route of clock and trigger gen- eration.
External digital (TTL) trigger Analog threshold trigger With MIOE-3816, user can also define the type of trigger source as rising-edge or falling-edge. These following sections describe these trigger sources in more detail. External Digital (TTL) Trigger For analog input operations, an external digital trigger event occurs when the MIOE- 3816 detects either a rising or falling edge on the External AI TTL trigger input.
User should connect ana-log signals from external device or analog output channel on board to external input signal ATRG0/1. On the MIOE-3816, the threshold level is set using a dedicated 16-bit DAC. By software, you can program the thresh- old level by writing a voltage value to this DAC;...
DACs’ buffers on MIOE-3816. When MIOE-3816 detects a trigger, it outputs the values stored in its buffer. When the buf- fer’s storage decreases, the card sends an interrupt request to the host PC which in turn sends samples to the buffer.
B.2.3 Analog Output Clock Sources The MIOE-3816 can adopt both internal and external clock sources for pacing the analog output of each channel: Internal AO clock with 32-bit Divider External AO output clock from connector The internal and external AO clocks are described in more detail as follows: ...
Digital Input/Output Operation The MIOE-3816 supports 24 digital I/O channels. You can use each byte as either an input port or an output port by configuring the corresponding parameter; and all four channels of the byte have the same configuration.
Page 46
MIOE-3816 counter will use internal clock as time base, to fulfill the fre- quency you want to set. See the figure below as example, the desired frequency is 5 MHz.
Page 47
Delay Pulse Generation: Using MIOE-3816 internal clock, you can change the logic level within a specific period, starting from a trigger signal connecting to counter gate input. For example, if you define the count equals to 3 (as figure below), a counter output will change its status after 3 pulses of internal clock sig- nals pass, after a trigger signal from counter gate becomes high.
