Operation Theorem  39 
4.1.6  A/D Data Format 
The A/D data read either from A/D data port or the FIFO port is in the two‘s 
complement format. As the A/D gain is 1, the A/D signal range is roughly 
+10V ~ -10V bipolar. In ACL-8316, 16 bits A/D data is available. The 
relationship between the voltage and the value is shown in the following table: 
A/D Data (Hex)  Decimal Value  Voltage (Volts) 
7FFF +32767 +10.00000 
4000 +16384 +5.00015 
0001 1 +0.00031 
0000 0 0.00000 
FFFF -1 -0.00031 
C000 -16384 -5.00015 
8001 -32767 -10.00000 
8000 -32768 -10.00031 
Note:
 The decimal value of the A/D data is in the same sign with the bi-
polar voltage. Therefore, the sign extension conversion is not 
necessary. 
The A/D data format of 12 bits ACL-8312 is compatible with the 16 bits ACL-
8316. Only the 4 LSB of the 16 bits A/D data are truncated to zero. Therefore 
the software is compatible for the two cards. The relationship between the 
voltage and the value is shown in the following table: 
A/D Data (Hex)  Decimal Value  Voltage (Volts) 
7FF 0  +32752  +10.0000 
400 0  +16384  +5.0024 
001 0  +16  +0.0049 
000 0  0  0.0000 
FFF 0  -16  -0.0049 
C00 0  -16384  -5.0024 
801 0  -32752  -10.0000 
800 0  -32768  -10.0049
