1 Introduction

The DAQ-/DAQe-2213/2214 is a 16-CH low cost, high-perfor­mance multi-function data acquisition card that can sample up to
16 analog input channels with different gain settings and scan
sequences, making it ideal for analog signals with various input
ranges and sampling speeds.

Offering differential modes for up to eight AI channels, the DAQ/
DAQ-/DAQe-2213/2214 card achieves the most efficient noise
elimination. The DAQ-/DAQe-2213/2214 card has 2-CH 12-bit
analog output with waveform generation capabilities and also fea­tures analog and digital triggering, 24-CH programmable digital I/
O lines, and 2-CH 16-bit general-purpose timers/counters.

Similar to all other members of the DAQ-/DAQe-2000 family, multi­ple DAQ-/DAQe-2213/2214 cards can be synchronized using the
system synchronization interface (SSI) bus. In addition, the auto­calibration feature adjusts the gain and offset within specified
accuracies, thus eliminating the need to manually adjust trimpots.

12 Introduction

2 Installation

This chapter describes how to install the DAQ-/DAQe-2213/2214
card. The contents of the package and unpacking information that
you should be aware of are outlined first.

The DAQ-/DAQe-2213/2214 card performs an automatic configu­ration of the IRQ and port address. You can use the PCI_SCAN
software utility to read the system configuration.

2.1 Contents of Package

In addition to this User's Manual, the package includes the follow­ing items:

X DAQ-/DAQe-2213/2214 multi-function data acquisition card

X ADLINK All-in-one CD

X Software Installation Guide

If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the dealer
from whom you purchased the product. Save the shipping materi­als and carton in case you want to ship or store the product in the
future.

Installation 13

2.2 Unpacking

Your DAQ-/DAQe-2213/2214 card contains electro-static sensitive
components that can be easily be damaged by static electricity.

Therefore, the card should be handled on a grounded anti-static
mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband,
grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.

Inspect the card package for obvious damages. Shipping and han­dling may cause damage to the card. Be sure there are no ship­ping and handling damages on the modules carton before
continuing.

After opening the card module carton, extract the system module
and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface with component
side up.

Again, inspect the module for damages. Press down on all the
socketed IC's to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this

2.4 PCI Configuration

Plug and Play

With support for plug and play, the card requests an interrupt num­ber via its PCI controller. The system BIOS responds with an inter­rupt assignment based on the card information and on known
system parameters. These system parameters are determined by
the installed drivers and the hardware load seen by the system.

Configuration

The board configuration is done on a board-by-board basis for all
PCI boards in the system. Because configuration is controlled by
the system and software, there is no jumper setting required for
base address, DMA, and interrupt IRQ.

The configuration is subject to change with every boot of the sys­tem as new boards are added or removed.

Troubleshooting

If your system doesn’t boot or if you experience erratic operation
with your PCI board in place, it is likely caused by an interrupt con­flict. The BIOS Setup may be incorrectly configured. Consult the
BIOS documentation that comes with your system to solve this
problem.
