CIO-DAS800 From $249
Series Low Cost, 8-Channel Multifunction
Plug-In Board
The CIO-DAS800 series boards are multifunction analog and digital I/O boards for the IBM PC and compatible computers. The boards install into a standard 8- or 16-bit ISA slot of any IBM PC or compatible computer. The CIO-DAS800 is the next generation in the Popular DAS-08 family. The CIO-DAS 800 includes a number of enhancements over the traditional DAS-08 including higher sample rates, 256-sample FIFO, enhanced triggering and improved channel sequencer. The four different models in the family are shown in the table below.
RANGE TABLE
| Model No. | Resolution | Speed (Samples/Sec) |
Input Range (VdC) |
| CIODAS800 | 12 bits | 50,000 | +5 |
| CIO-DAS801 | 12 bits | 50,000 | +10, +5, +1, +0.5, + 0.1, +0.05, +0.01, +0.005 |
| CIO-DAS802 | 12 bits | 50,000 | +10, +5, +2.5, + 1.25, 0-10, 0-5, +0-2.5, +1.25 |
| CIO-DAS802-16 | 16 bits | 100,000 | +10, +5, +2.5, + 1.25, 0-10, 0-5, +0-2.5, +1.25 |
ANALOG INPUTS
A standard 37-pin 'D' type connector brings on board the
analog signals of the CIO-DAS80x directly into an analog
multiplexer. The multiplexer provides 8 channels of differential
or single-ended input. For the CIO-DAS-801, CIO-DAS802, and
CIO-DAS802-16 the choice of single-ended or differential input is
switch selectable on a channel-by-channel basis. The CIO-DAS800
provides single-ended inputs only.
A sample and hold circuit captures the signal that is converted by the A/D converter. The models with a 12-bit A/D converter provide a resolution of 1/4096 parts of full scale. The 16-bit models proved a resolution of 1/65,536 parts of full scale. The CIO-DAS801, CIO-DAS802 and CIO-DAS802-16 also contain a programmable gain amplifier that allows the selection of different input ranges.
FIFO Provides Full Data Rate Under Windows
The boards in the CIO-DAS800 family include a 512-sample FIFO
buffer. The buffer collects the results of A/D conversions and
stores then until the computer's CPU is able to transfer the data
into PC memory. The FIFO buffer allows the PC to store up the A/D
transfer requests, then service the requests in batches. The FIFO
is necessary to obtain the full data acquisition rates under
multitasking operating systems like windows.
Analog Accessories
For channel expansion beyond the base 8 channels, two
external multiplexer are offered. The CIO-EXP16 and CIO-EP32 are
sixteen and thirty-two channel multiplexers respectively. Besides
offering additional channels, these multiplexers also provide
cold junction compensation for use with thermocouple temperature
sensors.
Software
The CIO-DAS800 series includes a complete test and
calibration program. The program provides a step-by-step
procedure for installing and configuring the card. It also
creates a configuration file used by the optional Universal
Library.
The Universal Library is a set of I/O libraries and drivers for those users creating their own custom programs. The Universal Library is compatible with most DOS and Windows based languages and supports the entire PCI and CIO family of boards. The library includes an extensive set of programming examples written in Visual Basic, C and Pascal for both Windows and DOS languages.
An optional driver for LabView is also available. The LabView driver works in conjunction with the Universal Library, so both are needed to use the CIO-DAS80x in LabView.
The CIO-DAS80x is also compatible with many off-the-shelf programs including Labtech, DASYLab and SnapMaster.
