BoardID Switch
BoardID DIP switch helps defines each card’s unique
identity when multiple identical PCI cards have
been installed in the same computer. The BoardID
switch is very useful when you build your system
with multiple identical PCI cards. With the correct
BoardID switch settings, you can easily identify and
access each card during hardware configuration and
software programming.
High Density
High density means there are many input/output
functions in one PCI card. In the past, customers
were forced to buy more than one card to fulfill their
application, but now just one card can achieve their
goals. The biggest advantage of this feature is that it
saves space, allowing more efficient installation.
Auto Calibration
The built-in auto-calibration circuitry corrects gain
and offset errors in analog input and analog output
channels thereby eliminating the need for external
equipment and user adjustments.
Keeping the Output Values after
System Reset
When the system is hot reset (power is not shut
off), Advantech’s DAQ cards with this function can
either retain the last digital (or analog) output values,
or return to its default configuration, depending on
jumper setting. This practical function eliminates
danger caused by misoperation during unexpected
system reset.
DMA - Direct Memory Access
A method of transferring data from or to memory at
a high rate without involving the CPU. DMA is the
hardware/software technique that allows the highest
speed transfer of data, to or from RAM. DMA can
provide the means to read or write data at precise
times without restricting the microprocessor’s tasks.
