For DAS1600, the following additional argument values are also valid:

PortNum FIRSTPORTA, FIRSTPORTB, FIRSTPORTCL, FIRSTPORTCH

DataValue 0 to 15 for FIRSTPORTCL or FIRSTPORTCH;

0 to 255 for FIRSTPORTA or FIRSTPORTB

BitNum 0 to 23 for FIRSTPORTA

Counter I/O

Counter functions and methods supported

UL: cbC8254Config(), cbCIn(), cbCLoad()

UL for .NET: C8254Config(), CIn(), CLoad()

Counter argument values

CounterNum 1 to 3

Config HIGHONLASTCOUNT, ONESHOT, RATEGENERATOR, SQUAREWAVE, SOFTWARESTROBE,

HARDWARESTROBE

LoadValue 0 to 65535 (Refer to "16-bit values using a signed integer data type" on page 16 for

information on 16-bit values using unsigned integers.)

RegNum: LOADREG1, LOADREG2, LOADREG3

Hardware considerations

Pacing analog input

Hardware pacing, external or internal clock supported.

Specifying SINGLEIO while also specifying BURSTMODE is not recommended. If this combination is used, the

Count value should be set as low as possible, preferably to the number of channels in the scan. Otherwise,

overruns may occur.

When EXTMEMORY is used with the CIO-DAS1600 the cbGetStatus() function or GetStatus() method does

not return the current count and current index. This is a limitation imposed by maintaining identical registers

to the KM-DAS1600.
