– Install Software Step 1 IMPORTANT: Software must be installed before installing hardware. previous version ADAC drivers, if present. You can do this through Microsoft’s Remove Add/Remove Programs feature. 2. Place the Data Acquisition CD into the CD-ROM drive. Wait for PC to auto-run the CD. This may take a few moments, depending on your PC.

– Install Boards in available PCI Bus-slots Step 2 IMPORTANT: Software must be installed before installing hardware. WARNING Turn OFF power to, and UNPLUG the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to removing the PC’s cover and installing an ADAC/5500 Series Board. Failure to do so could result in electric shock, or damage to equipment.

7. Align the groove in the ADAC/5500 Series board’s PCI edge-connector with the ridge of the desired PCI slot. See preceding right-hand figure. 8. Push the board firmly into the PCI slot. The board should “snap” into position. 9. Secure the board by inserting the rear-panel adapter-plate screw. 10.
Fully-Differential. • The ADAC/5500MF analog inputs are impedance buffered. They can only be referenced in Single- Ended input configuration. 1 to 176 element channel-configuration RAM is provided to allow each ADC channel to be programmed with a different combination of Gain, Range, and Input Configuration.

P3 and P5 Pin Assignments The ADAC/5501MF, ADAC/5502MF, ADAC/5503HR and ADAC/5504HR include two auxiliary 40-pin headers. These are located on the back of the boards, and provide access to the two 16-bit DIO ports (DIO2 and DIO3). Two CA-G17- ADAC cables can be used to bring the DIO2 and DIO3 headers to separate37-pin D-type connectors [one GA-17 cable per DIO header].

ADAC-TB-8 Screw-Terminal Board Connections The ADAC-TB-8 provides screw-terminal access to all of a ADAC/5500MF board’s analog and digital I/O signals. The terminal board connects to the ADAC/5500MF via a 3-foot long 68-pin conductor expansion cable, p/n CA-G55-ADAC. The terminal board accepts wire up to 14 AWG.

ADAC-TB-16 Screw-Terminal Board One ADAC-TB-16 provides screw-terminal access to all analog and digital I/O signals from any one of the following boards: ADAC/5501MF, ADAC/5501MF-V, ADAC/5503HR, and ADAC/5503HR-V. The terminal board connects to the board via a 3-foot long 68-pin conductor expansion cable, p/n CA-G55- ADAC.

ADAC-DC-37 Screw-Terminal Board for Auxiliary Digital I/O The ADAC-DC-37 provides access to 16 of the 32 available auxiliary digital I/O channels from ADAC/5501MF, ADAC/5501MF-V, ADAC/5503HR, and ADAC/5503HR-V boards. Two ADAC-DC- 37 terminal boards are required to access all 32 digital I/O channels. As depicted on page 4, each DC-37 terminal board can connect to an ADAC/5500 Series Board via a CA-G17-ADAC cable, or to an optional CA-G37-x-ADAC extension cable, which interfaces between a CA-G17 cable’s orb and the ADAC-DC-37 board.
