CHAPTER 3 2 Signal Connections This chapter provides useful information about how to connect input and output signals to the PCI-1736UP via the I/O connector.
Chapter 3 Signal Connections 3.1 Overview Maintaining signal connections is one of the most important factors in ensuring that your application system is sending and receiving data correctly. A good signal connection can avoid unnecessary and costly damage to your PC and other hardware devices. This chapter provides useful information about how to connect input and output signals to the PCI1736UP via the I/O connector. 3.2 Switch and Jumper Locations The PCI-1736UP card has three jumpers and one switch..
3.2.1 Setting the time to Reset the Digital Outputs Some users will want the capability of clearing each digital output when the system (or PC) issues a reset signal on the PCI bus. Other users will want to clear their digital outputs only as part of system power-on. PCI-1736UP satisfies both these needs with jumper JP1. Depending on the application, this capability may allow digital outputs to be "OFF" without requiring a complete shutdown of processes controlled by the card.
