Page 26: Registers
Registers The detailed descriptions of the registers format are specified in this chapter. This information is quite useful for the programmers who wish to handle the card by low-level programming. However, we suggest user have to understand more about the PCI interface then start any low-level programming. -
Page 27: I/O Address Map
I/O Address Map Depending on which card is used, either the cPCI/PCI-6208V or PCI- 6216V, there are 8 or 16 voltage output channels respectively. For the cPCI/PCI-6208A, there are 8 voltage and current output channels; the voltage output controls the current source. The programming methods of all analog output channels are identical. -
Page 28: Analog Output Status Register
Analog Output Status Register The DAC uses a series bus architecture hence it will take time for digital value to be sent out. The data transfer rate for every DA data write takes 2.2 s, therefore the software driver must wait 2.2 s before sending any other data to any analog output port. -
Page 29: Operation Theory
Operation Theory In this chapter, the operation theory of the 6208 series cards is described. Before programming or applying the 6208 series cards to your applications, please go through this chapter to understand the features of the functions. Voltage Output The DA converter used in the cPCI/PCI-6208 is a Burr-Brown PCM-56U. -
Page 30: Current Output
Current Output The precision voltage-to-current converter XTR110 implements the current output. The current output channel n (An) is control by the voltage of channel n (Vn). The block diagram of the current output channels is shown in Fig 5. Figure 8: Current Output Circuits The cPCI/PCI-6208A provides an on board +15V power supply. -
Page 31: C\C++ Library
DOS library and Windows 95 DLL are described. Please refer to the PCIS-DASK function reference manual, which is included in the ADLINK CD, for descriptions of Windows 98/NT/2000 DLL functions. The function prototypes and useful constants are defined in the header files located in LIB (DOS) and INCLUDE (Windows 95) directories. -
Page 32: Programming Guide
Programming Guide 5.2.1 Naming Convention The functions of the NuDAQ PCI or NuIPC CompactPCI card software drivers uses full-names to represent the functions' real meaning. The naming convention rules are: In DOS Environment: _{hardware_model}_{action_name}. e.g. _6208_Initial(). All functions in the PCI-6208 driver uses 6208 as {hardware_model} In order to recognize the differences between DOS library and Windows 95 library, a capital "... -
Page 33: 6208_Initial

There are 8 or 16 Digital-to-Analog conversion channels depending on which card is used. The resolution of each channel is 16 bits with sign; i.e. the digital value range from -32768 (0x8000) to +32767 (0x7FFF).
-
Page 36: 6208_Get_Da_Status
_6208_Get_DA_Status @ Description This function is used to check the DA data sending status. Because the data transfer time for every DA data takes 2.2 s, the software driver must hold for 2.2 s before sending more data to any of the analog output ports. - Page 37 @ Description This function is used to read data from the digital input ports. There are 4 digital input channels on the 6208 series cards. The retrieved value is stored in DIData. However the returned value needs to be further process by including the following code in your program: DIData = (DIData &...
