4. Programming Guide

The PCI703 is supplied with a complete software development kit. EDR Enhanced (EDRE SDK) comes with drivers for many operating systems and a common application program interface (API). The API also serves as a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) between the control application and the hardware. The EDRE API makes it possible to write an application that can be used on all hardware with common sub -systems.

The PCI703 can also be programmed at register level, but it is not recommended. A detailed knowledge of the PCI703 is needed and some knowledge about programming Plug and Play PCI devices. We recommend that you only make use of the software provided by Eagle Technology.

EDR Enhanced API

The EDR Enhanced SDK comes with both ActiveX controls and a Windows DLL API. Examples are provided in many different languages and serve as tutorials. EDRE is also supplied with a software manual and user’s guide.

The EDRE API hides the complexity of the hardware and makes it really easy to program the PCI703. It has got functions for each basic sub-system and is real easy to learn.

PCI 703 User Manual Eagle Technology - Data Acquisition

Digital Inputs/Outputs

The PCI703 has got 8 digital I/O lines and 10 multi I/O lines that can all be used for digital control purposes. The EDRE API supports auto direction configuration. By writing to or reading from a port, it is automatically configured as an output or input. A port is defined as a collection of simultaneous configurable entities. Thus in the case of the PCI703 each port is only 1-bit wide. In total the PCI703 has got 18 digital ports that can be configured in any direction. Some of which has got more than one function when configured as an input.

Analog Output

The PCI703-X/A version has got 2 DAC channels that support single write and waveform generation. The DAC subsystem uses the onboard counters for timing and a FIFO for data transfer. The two DAC channels are controlled independently from each other. The DAC subsystem is control via 3 functions: SingleWrite, Control and Configure.

Writing to a DAC channel

A single call is necessary to set a voltage on a DAC channel.

API-CALL

The serial number, DAC channel and micro-voltage is needed to set a DAC channel’s voltage. A return code will indicate if any errors occurred.

ACTIVEX CALL

Long EDREDAX.Write (ulng Channel, long uVo ltage)

The DAC channel and micro -voltage is needed to set a DAC channel’s voltage. A return code will indicate if any errors occurred.

Generating a Waveform

Generating a waveform is basically a two-step process. First configure a channel then start and stop it. Two modes are available, FIFO non-loop mode and pattern mode. FIFO non-loop the FIFO data only gets outputted once. The DAC output voltage will be the same as the last value in the FIFO. In pattern mode the FIFO data is outputted continuously. Please note that the frequency is not the total frequency of the waveform, but the update rate of the DAC channel. This is the value written directly to the counter.

Update frequency = (Internal clock frequency) / (counter value +1) API-CALL

Analog Input

The PCI703 has got a very unique A/D subsystem and is fully configurable. Configuration includes dynamic range, gain, reference and differential or single ended. Each of these settings can be applied to an individual c hannel while scanning.

Please not that although the PCI703 and PCI703S is similar in operation and uses the same functions, not all parameters apply to the PCI703S. This is because the PCI703S only supports bipolar -differential mode. The frequency is also implemented differently. Where the frequency is the timer tic for the ADC on the PCI703, it is the total frequency on the PCI703S.

Reading a single voltage from a channel

To read a single ADC channel you need to know the voltage range and gain.

Parameter Type Description

Channel Long ADC Channel

Return Long Voltage re turned from channel.

Make sure to set the Gain and Range properties of the ADC ActiveX control. This will in turn set the range and gain when reading the ADC channel.

Configuring the ADC subsystem for scanning

This is the most complicated part of config uring the PCI703 for auto scanning. Make sure that you use the correct format when applying the channel list configuration. There are many loopholes and care should be taken when implementing code to configure the PCI703.

Digital triggering

If digital triggering is used, pin TRIG1 is used. This pin is active high and will start the ADC process when it is high. The process will continue until it is stopped via software.

Analog triggering

If analog triggering is used, the voltage on analog output channel 1 is used as reference voltage. This voltage can be changed at set and the PCI703 will compar e the current input voltage to the ADC system, this can be from any channel included in the channel list, with the voltage of DAC channel 1. The trigger event can be any of the four settings.

that is programmed to the board.

The range code does not apply to the S models, for the are always differential and bipolar. The Frequency and ClockSource ADC ActiveX control must be setup before calling the configure function.

EDREADX.Frequency

Frequency The ADC sampling frequency

WARNING!!

î On the PCI703 the frequency is the

update rate of the A/D convert er. This means that the board will convert the channels at a period of equal to the frequency and the channels in the sequence of the channel list. The end result is that the time between samples is equal to 1/Frequency.

î The PCI703S-frequency relates to the

total sampling frequency. The effective sampling frequency is the frequency divided by the channel list length. The channel-list holds all the channels that need to be simultaneous-sampled-andholded. Thus the all channel in a set are sampled at the same time but the space between a set is the total sampling frequency divided by the channel list length. Also note that the sample -andhold counts as one channel. This reduces the maximum frequency by one count plus the channel list length. For example the ma x for one channel is 200KHz.

Frequency Example:

Frequency = 200 000 Hz Channel List Length = 10 Time = 5 uS Time between channels = 5 uS

PCI703 PCI703S

Frequency = 200 000 Hz Channel List Length = 10 Effective Frequency = 20 000 Hz Time = 50 uS Time between channels = 0 uS Time between sets = 50 uS
