• Avoid physical contact with materials that could hold static electricity such as plastic, vinyl and Styrofoam. • Whenever you handle the card, grasp it only by its edges. DO NOT TOUCH the exposed metal pins of the connector or the electronic com- ponents. PCI-1711U Series User Manual...
The Advantech Device Drivers Setup program for the PCI-1711U/UL card is included in the companion CD-ROM that is shipped with your DA&C card package. Please follow the steps below to install the driver software: Insert the companion CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
Figure 2.1: Setup Screen of Advantech Automation Software Select the Device Manager option to install. Select the Individual Driver option. Select the specific device then follow the installation instructions step by step to complete your device driver installation and setup.
Plug in the power cord and turn on the computer. After your card is properly installed on your system, you can now config- ure your device using the Advantech Device Manager Program that has itself already been installed on your system during driver setup. A com- plete device installation procedure should include device setup, configu- ration and testing.
2.4 Device Setup & Configuration The Advantech Device Manager program is a utility that allows you to set up, configure and test your device, and later stores your settings on the system registry. These settings will be used when you call the APIs of Advantech Device Drivers.
Configuring the Device Please click the Setup button to configure your device. On the Device Setting dialog box (Fig. 2-4), you can specify the D/A volt- age reference either as External or Internal and specify the voltage output range for the two D/A channels. Figure 2.4: The Device Setting Dialog Box After your card is properly installed and configured, you can click the Test…...

Analog Output Connection The PCI-1711U/UL provides two D/A 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 D/A output. Use an external reference for other D/A output ranges. The maximum reference input voltage is ±10 V and maximum output scaling is ±10 V.
TTL Devices D.GND D.GND To receive an OPEN/SHORT signal from a switch or relay, add a pull-up resistor to ensure that the input is held at a high level when the contacts are open. 4.7K D.GND PCI-1711U Series User Manual...
3.4 Field Wiring Considerations When you use PCI-1711U cards to acquire data from outside, noises in the environment might significantly affect the accuracy of your measure- ments if due cautions are not taken. The following measures will be help- ful to reduce possible interference running signal wires between signal sources and the PCI-1711U card.

2. Everytime the analog output range is changed. We provide the Advantech Device Manager on the companion CD-ROM to assist you with D/A and A/D calibration. The Advantech Device Man- ager makes calibration easy. With a variety of prompts and graphic dis- plays, these programs will lead you through the calibration and setup procedures, showing you all the correct settings and adjustments.
C.1 VR Assignment The five variable resistors (VRs) on the PCI-1711U/UL board help you make accurate adjustment on all A/D and D/A channels. See the figure in Appendix C for help finding the VRs. The following list shows the func- tion of each VR: Function A/D bipolar offset...
Using a precision voltmeter to calibrate the A/D outputs is recommended. Regular and accurate calibration ensures maximum possible accuracy. The A/D calibration tool in the Advantech Device Manager leads you through the whole A/D offset and gain adjustment procedure. The basic steps are outlined below: Connect a DC voltage source of +9.995 V to AI0.
