This user's guide also refers you to related documents available on our web site, and to technical support resources that can also help you get the most out of these boards.
Chapter 1 Introducing the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 Overview: PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 features This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 analog and digital I/O boards. These boards differ in that the PCI-DAS6014 has two digital-to-analog outputs, while the PCI-DAS6013 has no digital-to-analog outputs. Both boards provide up to 16 analog inputs. Each input can be individually configured as single-ended or differential. The analog inputs have 16-bit resolution.

Chapter 3 Functional Details Basic architecture Figure 3 on page 19 shows a simplified block diagram of the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014. These boards provide all of the functional elements shown in the figure. The System Timing and Control (STC) is the logical center for all DAQ, DIO, and DAC (if applicable) operations. It communicates over two major busses: a local bus and a memory bus. The local bus carries digital I/O data and software commands from the PCI Bus Master.

A/D START TRIGGER output signal timing The A/D START TRIGGER signal is also used to initiate pre-triggered DAQ operations (when you need to acquire data just before a trigger event). In most pre-triggered applications, the A/D START TRIGGER signal is generated by a software trigger.

PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 User's Guide Functional Details D/A EXTERNAL TIMEBASE signal The D/A EXTERNAL TIME BASE signal can serve as the source for the on-board DAC pacer circuit rather than using the internal time base. Any AUXIN pin can be set programmatically as the source for this signal. The polarity is programmable. The maximum frequency for the D/A EXTERNAL TIMEBASE signal is 20 MHz. The minimum pulse width is 23 ns high or low. There is no minimum frequency specification.

Chapter 4 Calibrating the Board Introduction You should calibrate the board (using the InstaCal utility) after the board has fully warmed up. The recommended warm-up time is 15 minutes. For best results, calibrate the board immediately before making critical measurements. The high resolution analog components on the board are somewhat sensitive to temperature. Pre-measurement calibration ensures that your board is operating at optimum calibration values.
PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 User's Guide Calibrating the Board A similar method is used to calibrate the analog output components (PCI-DAS6014 only). A trim DAC is used to adjust the gain of the DAC. A separate DAC is used to adjust offset on the final output amplifier. The calibration circuits are duplicated for both analog outputs (see Figure 29). Analog Out D/A Ref Trim DAC Gain Adjust Trim DAC Offset Adjust Figure 29.
