USB ANALOG/DIGITAL
MULTI I/O-CARD OUT8-IN8-AD4-DA
In order to complete the process, the program
must be terminated and the card should be taken
out of the USB port, so that further new numbers
can be released. On the next start, the card is
recognized with the new card number.
In this way, proceed with all the cards, which are to
be operated with the PC. Don't forget to remove
the write protection jumper again, in order to
protect the card from inadvertent overwriting.
Functional test: All the functions of the card can
be tested with the help of the software USB-
TOOLS. Duly consider the limiting values provided
in the data sheet while wiring the inputs and
outputs. The card can get damaged due to wrong
wiring and connection to high voltage!
Since LEDs and jumper plugs are available on the
card for all inputs and outputs, you should not
connect any external components for the first test.
Testing the digital output: The functioning of
digital output can be cross checked in the
application window of USB Tools by activating/de-
activating the white check box under the
corresponding output. The corresponding LED
must glow on the card and the associated OC-
output is connected against ground. By selecting
the relay control mode and time duration, the
output can get connected across automatically.
Testing the digital input: The functioning of
digital inputs can be cross checked by switching
the input against ground with the DIL switches.
The LED of the associated input glows on the card
and in the application window of USB Tools, the
red signal with respect to the input changes to
green.
Testing the analog input: For this, the jumper
plugs must be inserted in the outer position (11-12
potentiometer) for configuration of the inputs.
Select the input configuration to 0 in USB-TOOLS.
Now you can separately adjust the value for each
channel at the potentiometer. The measured value
is displayed in USB-Tools.
Testing the analog output: In USB-tools, the
desired output value can be adjusted at the slide
"DA converter". The LED glows with the light
intensity proportional to the adjusted value. At the
output terminals, the voltage value can be
measured on a scale of 0... 2.5 V.
Software
The scope of supply includes extensive
documentation and USB driver, a free ware DLL
with programming examples. Documented source
code in C, Delphi and Visual Basic enables the
programmer to integrate in his own control
software. Configuration tools help to define the
card address and testing of components.
Software Profilab
With this software, available as accessories,
professional grade measuring systems and control
projects can be developed in a simple, graphics
based development platform. The measurement
circuit is to be simply drawn to create a project.
Without any programming knowledge, the status of
I/O-Module can be applied in the project.
Arithmetic and logical building blocks take care of
the linking and processing of input values. The
system is operated through a self designed virtual
front panel, on which switches, potentiometers,
displays, LEDs, instruments etc. are arranged. The
software also provides facility of compiling the
project into an “EXE” file which can run without
PROFILAB.
