2.5 Hardware Installation Outline Hardware configuration The PCI cards (or CompactPCI cards) are equipped with plug and play PCI controllers, it can request base addresses and interrupts according to the PCI standard. The system BIOS will assign the system resources based on the PCI cards’ configuration registers and system parameters (which are set by the system BIOS). Interrupt assignment and memory usage (I/O port locations) can only be assigned by the system BIOS.
2.6 Device Installation for Windows Systems Once Windows 98/2000/XP has started, the Plug and Play functions of the Windows system will find and locate the new NuDAQ/ NuIPC card. If this is the first time a NuDAQ/NuIPC card is installed in your Windows system, you will be prompted to input the device information source. Please refer to the “Software Installation Guide” for installation procedures of the device drivers.

4 Operation Theory In this chapter, the detail operation theory of the PCI-6308V and PCI-6308A is described. Before programming or applying the PCI6308 card to your application, please go through this chapter to understand the features first. 4.1 Voltage Output There are 8 voltage output channels for PCI-6308V and 6308A. For voltage output operation, you have to understand: 1. How to set the voltage output range. 2. The DA data format.
For +/-10V mode: Digital Value HEX value Output Voltage 4095 0xFFF +9.99969V 2048 0x800 0.00000V 0 0x000 -10.00000V For 0~+10V mode: Digital Value HEX value Output Voltage 4095 0xFFF +9.99969V 2048 0x800 5.00000V 0 0x000 0.00000V For 0V~Vuser mode: Digital Value HEX value Output Voltage 4095 0xFFF +Vuser 2048 0x800 +Vuser/2 0 0x000 0.00000V Table 4-1: DA Voltage Output Format The above table shows the address of every analog output ports relative to the base address.
4.2 Analog Output Status Register The DAC uses a series bus architecture hence there is a delay in the output of the digital value. The data transfer time for every DA data write takes 13µs, therefore the software driver must wait for 13µs before sending another set of data to any analog output port. While the DA value is sending, the Data_Send bit is ‘H’. The software driver should check this bit before writing any data to the output port. This register is read only. Base D16~D1 0x00 X D0 Data_Send 4.
example, voltage output channel 3 control the current source of channel 3. The output current range is programmable. The current range control register controls all 8 current channels on the PCI-6308A. There are three kinds of output current ranges. Refer to the following table and Section 5.2.9 for programming the current range using the _6308_I2V_Control function. Mode Input Voltage Range Output Current Range 0 0~10V 0~20 mA 1 0~10V 5~25 mA 2 -- -- 3 0~10V 4~20 mA 4.
4.5 Isolated Digital Input The isolated digital input circuits have the following characteristics. The input is equipped with a current-limit resistor. The input voltage can be up to 35V. The isolation voltage between the isolated input and the host power signals is 2500 Vrms.

5 C/C++ Library This chapter describes the software library for operating this card. Only the functions in the 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. Function prototypes and useful constants are defined in the header files of the LIB directory (DOS) and INCLUDE directory (Windows 95). For Windows 95 DLL, the developing environment can be Visual Basic 4.
All functions in the PCI-6308 driver start with 6308 as {hardware_model} and can be used by both the PCI-6308V and PCI-6308A. In order to distinguish the difference between DOS library and Windows 95 library, a capital "W" is place on the beginning of each function name of the Windows 95 DLL driver. e.g. W_6308_Initial(). Data Types We have defined some data type in the Pci_6308.h (DOS) and Acl_pci.h (Windows 95) header files.
5.3 _6308_Initial @ Description This function is used to initialize the PCI 6308. Every PCI_6308 has to be initialized by this function before calling other functions.
5.4 _6308_Software_Reset @ Description This function is used to reset the I/O port configuration. Note that this function cannot re-start the PCI bus and all the hardware setting won’t be change either.
5.5 _6308_DA @ Description This function is used to write data to the D/A converters. There are 8 Digital-to-Analog conversion channels on the PCI-6308. The resolution of each channel is 12 bits unsign; i.e. the digital value range from 0 (0x000) to +4095 (0xFFF). Please refer to section 4.1 for details of the DA data format.
5.6 _6308_DA_0_3 @Description This function is used to simultaneously write data to the D/A converters of channel 0 to channel 3. The resolution of each channel is 12 bits unsign; i.e. the digital value range from 0 to 4095. Please refer to section 4.1 for details of the DA data format.
5.7 _6308_DA_4_7 @Description This function is used to simultaneously write data to the D/A converters of channel 4 to channel 7. The resolution of each channel is 12 bits unsign; i.e. the digital value range from 0 to 4095. Please refer to section 4.1 for details of the DA data format.
5.8 _6308_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 16.0 µs, the software driver must wait for 16.0µs before sending another data to any analog output port. This function should be called before writing any data to the output port. While the DA value is sending, the returned value is “1”, otherwise the returned value is “0”.
5.9 _6308_DI @ Description This function is used to read data from the digital input ports. There are 4 digital input channels on the PCI-6308. The retrieved value is stored in DIData.
5.10 _6308_DO @ Description This function is used to write data to the digital output ports. There are 4 digital output channels on the PCI-6308, i.e. the output value ranges from 0 to 15.
5.11 _6308_I2V_Control @ Description This function is used to set the PCI-6308As’ voltage-to-current mode control. There are three range modes for the PCI-6308A. Please refer to section 3.3 for details of the voltage to current conversion.
