What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide explains how to install, configure, and use the PCI-DAS1602/12 so that you get the most out of its get the most out of its analog, digital, and timing I/O features.
You should use the Universal Library to control your board. Only experienced programmers should try register- level programming. If you need to program at the register level in your application, you can find more information in the Register Map for the PCI-DAS1602/12 (available at www.mccdaq.com/registermaps/RegMapPCI-DAS1602-12.pdf).
Overview: PCI-DAS1602/12 board features The PCI-DAS1602/12 multifunction analog and digital I/O board sets a new standard for high performance data acquisition on the PCI bus. This manual explains how to install and use your PCI-DAS1602/12 data acquisition board. The PCI-DAS1602/12 is a multifunction measurement and control board designed for the PCI bus. This board can be used for applications such as data acquisition, system timing, and industrial process control.
In addition to this hardware user's guide, you should also receive the Quick Start Guide (available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf). This booklet supplies a brief description of the software you received with your PCI-DAS1602/12 and information regarding installation of that software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware..
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the PCI-DAS1602/12 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
Installing the PCI-DAS1602/12 Configuring the PCI-DAS1602/12 All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS1602/12 are software controlled. You can select some of the configuration options using InstaCal, such as the analog input configuration (16 single-ended or eight differential channels), the edge used for triggering when using an external pacer, and the counter source. Once selected, any program that uses the Universal Library initializes the hardware according to these selections.

Functional Details Analog inputs The PCI-DAS1602/12 provides eight differential inputs, or 16 single-ended analog inputs. The input mode is software selectable, with no switches or jumpers to set. The board offers a 330 kHz maximum sample rate in single and multi-channel scans at any gain setting. A 1024 sample FIFO assures data taken from the board is transferred into computer memory without the possibility of missed samples.
Parallel digital I/O The PCI-DAS1602/12 provides 24 bits of parallel, digital I/O in the form of two eight-bit ports, and two four- bit ports. This digital capability is based on an on-board 82C55 PIA chip, which allows each of the ports to be set independently as input or output.
The standard calibration involves calibrating one channel with 0 volts input (offset), and then with a known input voltage (gain). The PCI-DAS1602/12's on board circuitry first shorts the inputs for offset calibration, then connects the inputs to the ultra-stable precision voltage reference for the gain calibration.
PCI-DAS1602/12 User's Guide Calibrating the PCI-DAS1602/12 Analog output calibration Analog output circuits are calibrated for offset and gain. Coarse and fine offset adjustments are made in the output buffer section. The tuning range of these adjustments allows for maximum DAC and output buffer offsets.

±0.75 max ±1.5 max Each PCI-DAS1602/12 is tested at the factory to assure the board’s overall error does not exceed accuracy limits described in Table 2. As shown in Table 3, total board error is a combination of gain, offset, differential linearity error (DLE) and integral linearity error (ILE).
PCI-DAS1602/12 User's Guide Specifications Noise performance Table 5 summarizes the noise performance for the PCI-DAS1602/12. Noise distribution is determined by gathering 50 K samples @ 330 kHz with inputs tied to ground at the user connector. Table 5. Noise performance specifications Range % within ±2 counts...
±1.0 max ±1.0 max Each PCI-DAS1602/12 is tested at the factory to assure the board’s overall error does not exceed ±3.0 LSB. Total board error is a combination of gain, offset, integral linearity and differential linearity error. The theoretical worst-case error of the board may be calculated by summing these component errors. Worst case error is realized only in the unlikely event that each of the component errors are at their maximum level, and causing error in the same direction.
