3 Registers Format The detailed descriptions of the registers format are specified in this chapter. This information is quite useful for the programmers who wish to handle the card by low-level programming. However, we suggest user have to understand more about the PCI interface then start any low-level programming. In addition, the contents of this chapter can help users understand how to use software driver to manipulate this card. 3.
3.2 I/O Address Map Most of the PCI-6308 registers are 16 bits. The users can access these registers by 16 bits I/O instructions. The following table shows the registers map, including descriptions and their offset addresses relative to the base address.
3.3 Digital Output Register D0~D3 is the digital output signal written to output channel. D4~D7 don¡¦t car e Address: BASE + 40(hex) Attribute: write only Data Format: Bit BASE+20 7 6 5 4 X X X X 3 DO3 2 DO2 1 DO1 0 DO0 3.4 Digital Input Ports D4~D7 is digital input signal from CN1. D0~D3 is read back signal from digital output channel.
4 Operation Theorem In this chapter, the detail operation theorem of PCI-6308V and PCI6308A is described. Before programming or applying the PCI-6308 cards to your applications, please go through this chapter to understand the features of the functions. 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. 4.1.
When the applications use smaller voltage range, the PCI-6308 can still be applied. For example, if the application voltage range is unipolar 0~5V, the user just need to set jumper to external reference mode, supply 5V from CN1 connector. For +/-10V mode: Digital Value 4095 2048 0 HEX value 0xFFF 0x800 0x000 Output Voltage +9.99969V 0.00000V -10.00000V HEX value 0xFFF 0x800 0x000 Output Voltage +9.99969V 5.00000V 0.00000V HEX value 0xFFF 0x800 0x000 Output Voltage +Vuser +Vuser/2 0.
4.3 Current Output and Range Control The current output is implemented by a precision voltage-to-current converter XTR110. The current output channel n (An) is control by the voltage of channel n (Vn). The block diagram of the current output channels is shown in Fig 4.1. On Board +15V XTR110 50 Ohm Vn An Io Current Output Range Control External Load (Resister R L = 250 Ohm typical) A.GND Figure 4.1 Current output circuit The PCI-6308A provides an on board +15V power supply.

DOn ( n=1~4) Photo Coupler GND 4.5 Isolated Digital Input The isolated digital input circuits are as following. The input is equipped with current-limit resistor. The input voltage could up to 34V. The isolation voltage between the isolated input and the host power signals is 5000 Vrms. 2.
5 C/C++ Library This chapter describes the software library for operating this card. Only the functions in DOS library and Windows 95 DLL are described. Please refer to the PCIS-DASK function reference manual, which included in ADLINK CD, for the descriptions of the Windows 98/NT/2000 DLL functions. The function prototypes and some useful constants are defined in the header files LIB directory (DOS) and INCLUDE directory (Windows 95). For Windows 95 DLL, the developing environment can be Visual Basic 4.
5.2 Programming Guide 5.2.1 Naming Convention There are 7 function calls provided by the C Language Library. All the functions of PCI-6308 are covered in this library. Its capabilities include D/A conversion, Digital Input and Output, etc. The functions of PCI-6308 software driver are using full-names to represent the functions' real meaning. The naming convention rules are: In DOS Environment: _{hardware_model}_{action_name}. e.g. _6308_Initial() .
5.3 _6308_Initial @ Description This function is used to initialize PCI 6308. Every PCI_6308 has to be initialized by this function before calling other functions.
5.5 _6308_DA @ Description This function is used to write data to D/A converters. There are 8 Digital-to-Analog conversion channels on the PCI-6308. respectively. The resolution of each channel is 12 bits without sign; i.e. the digital value range from 0 (0x000) to +4095 (0xFFF). Please refer to section 4.1.2 for details of DA data format.
5.6 _6308_DA_0_3 @Description This function is used to simultaneously write data to D/A converters of channel 0 to channel 3. The resolution of each channel is 12 bits without sign; i.e. the digital value range from 0 to 4095. Please refer to section 4.1.2 for details of DA data format.
5.7 _6308_DA_4_7 @Description This function is used to simultaneously write data to D/A converters of channel 4 to channel 7. The resolution of each channel is 12 bits without sign; i.e. the digital value range from 0 to 4095. Please refer to section 4.1.2 for details of 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 s, the software driver must wait for 16.0 s before sending another data to any analog output port. This function should be called before writing any data to output port. While the DA value is sending, the returned value is ¡§1¡¨, o t he rwi se t he retur n ed val ue i ¡§0¡¨.
5.9 _6308_DI @ Description This function is used to read data from digital input ports. There are 4 digital input channels on PCI-6308. The retrieved value is stored in DIData.
