DI-64T2-PCI 1

PCI-compliant Digital Input Board

DI-64T2-PCI

* Specifications, color and design of the products are subject to

change without notice.

This product is a PCI board designed for extending input function
on your PC. It has 64channels of TTL level inputs with a
200nsec response speed. 64ch of input signals can be used as
interrupts. A digital filter is provided to prevent input signal
errors from noise or chattering.
Both Windows and Linux drivers are included with this board.

CONTEC provides drivers that enable these boards to be
used with LabVIEW.

64ch of unisolated TTL level input

This board has 64ch of unisolated TTL level input with a 200μsec
response speed.

32ch of input signals can be used as interrupt events.

You can use 32ch input signals as interrupt events and also
disable or enable the interrupt in bit units and select the interrupt
edge.

Digital filter prevents input signal errors from noise or
chattering.

A digital filter is provided to prevent input signal errors from noise
or chattering. This filter can be added to each input terminal,
with settings performed via software.

Windows and Linux driver libraries are included

The included driver library [API-PAC(W32)] makes it possible to
create applications in both Windows and Linux environments. A
diagnostic program to check the hardware operation is also
provided.

LabVIEW support

LabVIEW is supported by using CONTEC’s dedicated library
VI-DAQ.
