structures and control your PCI-9112 card directly via the high-level

Application-Programming-Interface (API).

The software Libraries,

including DOS Library for Borland C++ and DLL driver for Windows -95/98,

are included in the CD. For more detailed information, please refer to

Chapter 5 “ C/C++ Software Library” .

3.10 Low Level Programming

To operate the PCI-9112, users do not need to understand how to write a

hardware dependent low-level program. Because it is more complex to

control the PCI controller and the information is not described in this

manual. We do not recommend users to program its applications based

on low-level programming. The PCI controller used in the PCI-9112 is

AMCC-S5933. For more s5933 PCI controller information, please visit

Operation Theorem

The operation theorem of the functions on PCI-9112 card is described in

this chapter. The functions include the A/D conversion, D/A conversion,

Digital I/O and counter / timer. The operation theorem can help you to

understand how to manipulate or to program the PCI-9112.

4.1 A/D Conversion

Before programming the PCI-9112 to perform the A/D conversion, you

should understand the following issues:

A/D front-end signal input connection

A/D conversion procedure

A/D trigger mode

A/D data transfer mode

Signal Connection

4.2 Analog Input Signal Connection

The PCI-9112 provides 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input

channels. The analog signal can be converted to digital value by the A/D

converter. To avoid ground loops and get more accuracy measurement

of A/D conversion, it is quite important to understand the signal source

type and how to choose the analog input modes : signal-ended and

differential. The PCI-9112 offers jumpers to select 16 single-ended or 8

different analog inputs.

Operation Theorem

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Single-ended Mode

The single-ended mode has only one input relative to ground and it

suitable for connecting with the floating signal source. The floating source

means it does not have any connection to ground. Figure 3.4 shows the

single-ended connection. Note that when more than two floating sources

are connected, the sources must be with common ground.

Figure 4.2.1 Floating source and single-ended

Differential input mode

The differential input mode provides two inputs that respond to the

difference signal between them. If the signal source has one side

connected to local ground, the differential mode can be used for reducing

ground loop. Figure 3.5 shows the connection of the differential input

mode. However, even if the signal source is local grounded, the single-

ended still can be used when the Vcm (Common Mode Voltage) is very

small and the effect of ground loop can be negated.

A differential mode must be used when the signal source is differential. A

differential source means the ends of the signal are not grounded. To

avoid the danger of high voltage between the local ground of signal and

the ground of the PC system, a shorted ground path must be connected.

4.2.1 A/D Conversion Procedure

The A/D conversion is starting by a trigger source, then the A/D converter

will start to convert the signal to a digital value. The PCI-9112 provides

three trigger modes, see section 5.1.2.

While A/D conversion, the DRDY bit in A/D status register is cleared to

indicate the data is not ready. After conversion being completed, the

DRDY bit will return to high(1) level. It means users can read the

converted data from the A/D data registers. Please refer section 4.5 for

the A/D status register format.

The A/D data should be transferred into PC's memory for further using.

The PCI-9112 provides three data transfer modes that allow users to

optimize the DAS system. Refer to section 5.1.3 for data transfer modes.

4.2.2 A/D Trigger Modes

In the PCI-9112, A/D conversion can be triggered by the Internal or

External trigger source. The EITS bit of A/D control register is used to

select the internal or external trigger, please refer to section 4.5 for details.

Whenever the external source is set, the internal sources are disable.

If the internal trigger is selected, there are two internal sources, the

software trigger and the timer pacer trigger can be used. The A/D

operation mode is controlled by A/D mode bits (EITS, TSTS) of A/D

control register (BASE+18). Total three trigger sources are possible in

the PCI-9112. The different trigger conditions are specified as follows:

Software trigger

The trigger source is software controllable in this mode. That is, the A/D

conversion is starting when any value is written into the software trigger

conversion. Under this mode, the timing of the A/D conversion is fully

controlled under software. However, it is difficult to control the fixed A/D

conversion rate except another timer interrupt service routine is used to

generate a fixed rate trigger.

Timer Pacer Trigger

An on-board timer / counter chip 8254 is used to provide a trigger source

for A/D conversion at a fixed rate. Two counters of the 8254 chip are

cascaded together to generate trigger pulse with precise period. Please

refer to section 5.4 for 8254 architecture. This mode is ideal for high

speed A/D conversion. It can be combined with the DMA bus mastering or

the interrupt data transfer. It's recommend to use this mode if your

applications need a fixed and precise A/D sampling rate.

Operation Theorem

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

External Trigger

Through the pin-17 of CN3 (ExtTrig), the A/D conversion also can be

performed when a rising edge of external signal is occurred. The

conversion rate of this mode is more flexible than the previous two modes,

because the users can handle the external signal by outside device. The

external trigger can combine with the DMA transfer, interrupt data transfer,

or even program polling data transfer. Generally, the interrupt data

transfer is often used when external trigger mode is used.

4.2.3 A/D Data Transfer Modes

On the PCI-9112, three A/D data transfer modes can be used when the

conversion is completed. The data transfer mode is controlled by the A/D

mode control bits (INTX, DMAX) of the A/D control register (BASE+18).

The different transfer modes are specified as follows:

Software Data Transfer (DRDY)

Usually, this mode is used with software A/D trigger mode. After the A/D

conversion is triggered by software, the software should poll the DRDY bit

on the A/D Status register until it becomes to high level. Whenever the

low byte of A/D data is read, the DRDY bit will be cleared to indicate the

data is read out.

It is possible to read A/D converted data without polling. The A/D

conversion time will not excess 8ms on PCI-9112 card. Hence, after

software trigger, the software can wait for at least 8ms then read the A/D

Interrupt Transfer (INTX)

The PCI-9112 provides hardware interrupt capability. Under this mode, an

interrupt signal is generated when the A/D conversion is ended and the

data is ready to be read. It is useful to combine the interrupt transfer with

the timer pacer trigger mode. Under this mode, the data transfer is

essentially asynchronous with the control software.

When the interrupt transfer is used, the hardware interrupt will be inserted

and its corresponding ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) will be invoked and

executed after A/D conversion is completed. The converted data is

transferred by the ISR program. In PCI design, the IRQ level is assigned

by BIOS directly.

Operation Theorem

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

DMA Transfer (DMAX)

The DMA (Direct Memory Access) bus master allows data to be

transferred directly between the PCI-9112 and the PC memory at the

fastest possible rate, without using any CPU time. The A/D data will be

queue at local FIFO on the PCI-9112 itself and it is automatically

transferred to PC's memory.

The DMA transfer mode is very complex to program. It is recommended

to use the high level program library to operate this card. If you wish to

program the software which can handle the DMA bus master data transfer,

please refer to more information about PCI controller.

4.3 D/A Conversion

The operation of D/A conversion is more simple than A/D operation. You

only need to write Digital values into the D/A data registers and the

corresponding voltage will be output from the AO1 or AO2. Refer to

section 4.3 for information about the D/A data registers.

The

mathematical relationship between the Digital number DAn and the output

voltage is formulated as following:

DAn

Vout = -Vref ´

4096

where the Vref is the reference voltage, the Vout is the output voltage,

and the DAn is the Digital value in D/A data registers.

Before performing the D/A conversion, users should care about the D/A

reference voltage which set by the JP3 and JP4. Please refer section 2.8

for jumper setting. The reference voltage will effect the output voltage. If

the reference voltage is -5V, the D/A output scaling will be 0~5V. If the

reference voltage is -10V, the D/A output scaling will be 0~10V.

The PCI-9112 has two unipolar analog output channels. To make the D/A

output connections from the appropriate D/A output, please refer Figure

3.8.

4.4 Digital Input and Output

The PCI-9112 provides 16 digital input and 16 digital output channels

through the connector CN1 and CN2 on board. The digital I/O signal are

fully TTL/DTL compatible. The detailed digital I/O signal are specified in

section 1.3.

To program digital I/O operation is fairly straight forward. The digital input

operation is just to read data from the corresponding registers, and the

digital output operation is to write data to the corresponding registers. The

digital I/O registers‘ format are shown in section 4.5. Note that the DIO

data channel can only be read or written in form of 16 bits together. It is

impossible to access individual bit channel.

The clock source of counter 0 can be internal or external, while the gate

can be controlled externally and the output is send to the connector CN3.

As to counter 0 and counter 1, the clock source is internally fixed, while

the gate can be controlled externally and the output is send to the

connector CN3 too. All the timer/ counter signals are TTL compatible.

The following shows how to configure the 8254 timer / counter chip.

The 8254 Timer / Counter Chip

The Intel (NEC) 8254 contains three independent, programmable, multi-

mode 16 bit counter/timers. The three independent 16 bit counters can be

clocked at rates from DC to 5 MHz. Each counter can be individually

programmed with 6 different operating modes by appropriately formatted

control words. The most commonly uses for the 8254 in microprocessor

based system are:

programmable baud rate generator

event counter

binary rate multiplier

real-time clock

Digital one-shot

motor control

For more information about the 8254, please refer to the NEC

Microprocessors and peripherals or Intel Microsystems Components

Handbook.

Pacer Trigger Source

The counter 1 and counter 2 are cascaded together to generate the timer

pacer trigger of A/D conversion. The frequency of the pacer trigger is

software controllable. The maximum pacer signal rate is 2MHz/4=500K

which excess the maximum A/D conversion rate of the PCI-9112. The

minimum signal rate is 2MHz/65536/65536, which is a very slow

frequency that user may never use it.

General Purpose Timer/ Counter

The counter 0 is free for users' applications. The clock source, gate

control signal and the output signal is send to the connector CN3. The

general purpose timer / counter can be used as event counter, or used for

measuring frequency, or others functions.

5.2 Programming Guide

5.2.1 Naming Convention

The functions of the NuDAQ PCI cards or NuIPC CompactPCI cards’

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. _9112_Initial().

All functions in PCI-9112 driver are with 9112 as {hardware_model}.

But they can be used by PCI-9112, cPCI-9112.

In order to recognize the difference between DOS library and Windows 95

library, a capital "W" is put on the head of each function name of the

Windows 95 DLL driver. e.g. W_9112_Initial().

5.2.2 Data Types

We defined some data type in Pci_9112.h (DOS) and Acl_pci.h (Windows

95). These data types are used by NuDAQ Cards’ library. We suggest

you to use these data types in your application programs. The following

5.14 _9112_AD_DMA_Start

Description

The function will perform A/D conversion N times with DMA data transfer.

It takes place in the background which will not stop until the N-th

conversion

has

completed

your

program

execute

_9112_AD_DMA_Stop() function to stop the process.

After executing this function, it is necessary to check the status of the

operation by using the function _9112_AD_DMA_Status(). The function

is performed on single A/D channel when the A/D channel auto-scan is

set as FALSE. If the A/D channel auto-scan is TRUE, the conversion will

be multiple channels by sequence.

The PCI-9112 Bus mastering DMA is different from tradition PC style

DMA. Its description is as following:

Bus Mastering DMA mode of PCI-9112:

PCI bus mastering offers the highest possible speed available on the PCI-

9112. When the function _9112_AD_Set_Mode is set as AD_MODE_2

( Timer Trigger & DMA transfer ) or AD_MODE_5 ( External Trigger &

DMA transfer), it will enable PCI bus master operation. This is

conceptually similar to DMA (Direct Memory Access) transfers in a PC but

is really PCI bus mastering. It does not use an 8237-style DMA controller

in the host computer and therefore isn't blocked in 64K max. groups. PCI-

9112 bus mastering works as follows:

1. To set up bus mastering, first do all normal PCI-9112 initialization

necessary to control the board in status mode. This includes testing for

the presence of the PCI BIOS, determining the base addresses, slot

number, vendor and device ID's, I/O or memory, space allocation, etc.

Please make sure your PCI-9112 is plug in a bus master slot, otherwise

this function will not be workable.

2. Load the PCI controller with the count and 32-bit physical address of

the start of previously allocated destination memory which will accept A/D

data. This count is the number of bytes (not longwords!) transferred

during the bus master operation and can be a large number up to 64

million (2^26) bytes. Since the PCI-9112 transfers are always longwords,

this is 16 million longwords (2^24) or 32 million A/D samples but use the

bytecount.

C/C++ Library 51

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

3. After the A/D conversion is started, the A/D converted data is stored in

the FIFO of PCI controller. Each bus mastering data transfer continually

tests if any data in the FIFO and then blocks transfer, the system will

continuously loop until the conditions are satisfied again but will not exit

the block transfer cycle if the block count is not complete. If there is

momentarily no A/D data, the PCI-9112 will relinquish the bus temporarily

but returns immediately when more A/D samples appear. This operation

continues until the whole block is done.

4. This operation proceeds transparently until the PCI controller transfer

byte count is complete. All normal PCI bus operation applies here such as

a receiver which cannot accept the transfers, higher priority devices

requesting the PCI bus, etc. Remember that only one PCI initiator can

have bus mastership at any one time. However, review the PCI priority

and "fairness" rules. Also study the effects of the Latency Timer. And be

aware that the PCI priority strategy (round robin rotated, fixed priority,

custom, etc.) is unique to your host PC and is explicitly not defined by the

PCI standard. You must determine this priority scheme for your own PC

(or replace it).

5. The interrupt request from the PCI controller can be optionally set up to

indicate that this longword count is complete although this can also be

determined by polling the PCI controller.

Calibration

In data acquisition process, how to calibrate your measurement devices

to maintain its accuracy is very important. Users can calibrate the analog

input and analog output channels under the users' operating environment

for optimizing the accuracy. This chapter will guide you to calibrate your

PCI-9112 to an accuracy condition.

6.1 What do you need

Before calibrating your PCI-9112 card, you should prepare some

equipment’ s for the calibration:

Calibration program : Once the program is executed, it will guide

you to do the calibration. This program is included in the delivered

package.

A 5 1/2 digit multimeter (6 1/2 is recommended)

A voltage calibrator or a very stable and noise free DC voltage

generator.

6.2 VR Assignment

There are five variable resistors (VR) on the PCI-9112 board to allow you

making accurate adjustment on A/D and D/A channels. The function of

each VR is specified as Table 6.1.

VR1

VR2

VR3

VR4

VR5

VR6

VR7

A/D bipolar offset adjustment

A/D full scale adjustment

D/A channel 1 full scale adjustment

D/A channel 2 full scale adjustment

A/D unipolar offset adjustment

D/A reference voltage adjustment

A/D programmable amplifier offset adjustment

Table 6.1 Function of VRs

6.3 A/D Adjustment

6.3.1 Bipolar Calibration

1. Set the analog input range as : +/- 5V, i.e. the gain = 1 and input

mode = Bipolar.

2. Short the A/D channel 0 (pin 1 of CN3) to ground (GND), and connect

the TP1 (+) and TP2 (-) with your DVM. Trim the variable resister VR7 to

obtain a value as close as possible to 0V.

3. Apply a +5V input signal to A/D channel 0, and trim the VR2 to obtain

reading between 4094~4095.

4. Apply a +0V input signal to A/D channel 0, and trim the VR1 to obtain

reading flickers between 2048~2049.

5. Repeat step 3 and step 4, adjust VR2 and VR1.

6.3.2 Unipolar Calibration

1. Set the analog input range as : 0 ~ 10 V, i.e. the gain = 1 and input

mode = Unipolar.

2. Short the A/D channel 0 (pin 1 of CN3) to ground (GND) and connect

TP1 (+) and TP2 (-) with your DVM. Trim the VR5 to -5V reading in the

DVM.

6.4 D/A Adjustment

There are two steps to calibrate the analog output channels, D/A 1 and

D/A 2. The first step is to adjust the reference voltage, and the second

step is to adjust each channel of D/A.

6.4.1 Reference Voltage Calibration

1. Set reference voltage as -5V (the D/A reference voltage is selected

by JP3, see section 2.8).

2. Connect VDM (+) to CN3 pin-11 (V.REF) and VDM (-) to GND.

A calibration utility is supported in the software CD which is included in

the product package. The detailed calibration procedures and description

can be found in the utility. Users only need to run the software calibration

utility and follow the procedures. You will get the accurate measure data.

In normal condition, the PCI-9112 already calibrated by factor before it is

shipped out. So, users do not need to calibrate your PCI-9112 when you

get it.

Software Utilities

The PCI-9112 is a PCI-based high performance multi-function data

acquisition card, which provides 16 single-ended analog or 8 differential

analog inputs and auto scan channel by hardware, two double-buffered

multiplexing analog outputs. In addition to analog I/O, 16 digital inputs and

outputs and three 16-bit timer/counter channels are also included in the

board.

The utility program in the software package includes System

Configuration, Calibration, and Functional testing. All the utilities are using

menu-driven operating mode based on windowing environment, so it is

very easy to operate and no more learning effort.

In addition to the Utility and C/C++, DLL Libraries, some demonstration

programs are also included; users can refer them and save a lot of

programming time and get some other benefits as well. Please refer the

Appendix A for details of the demo programs.
