2.1 What You Have

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

Ø PCI-9112 or cPCI -9112 Enhanced Multi-function DAS Card
Ø ADLINK Software CD
Ø Software Installation Guide

If any of these items is 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.

6 • Installation

2.2 Unpacking

The card contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily
damaged by static electricity. Failure to perform the procedure outlined
below may damage the on board devices.

The board is packaged in an anti-static bag to avoid damage to the
sensitive IC on the board. After opening the card module carton, extract
the bag and place it only on a grounded anti -static surface to establish
grounding. 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 for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause
damage to your module. Be sure there are no shipping and handing
damages on the module before processing.

Note : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL A DAMAGED BOARD IN THE

COMPUTER.

You are now ready to install your card.

2.3 Device Installation for Windows Systems

Once Windows 95/98/2000 has started, the Plug and Play function of
Windows system will find the new NuDAQ/NuIPC cards. If this is the first
time to install NuDAQ/NuIPC cards in your Windows system, you will be
informed to input the device information source. Please refer to the
“Software Installation Guide” for the steps of installing the device.

Reference

You can set the following configuration by jumpers: the analog input
signal mode, counter’s clock source, and analog output range. The card's
jumpers and switches are preset at the factory. You can change the
jumper settings for your own applications.
For system reliability and safety, the design of PCI-9112 still keeps some
board configurations to be set through jumpers. These setting are listed
as below.

2.7 Clock Source Setting

The programmable interval timer 8254 is used in the PCI-9112. It
provides 3 independent 16-bit programmable down counters. The input of
counter 2 is connected to a precision 2MHz oscillator for internal pacer.
The input of counter 1 is cascaded from the output of counter 2. The
channel 0 is free for user's applications. There are two selections for the
clock source of channel 0 : the internal 2MHz clock or the external clock
signal from connector CN3 pin 35. The setting of clock is shown as Figure

2.10 Hardware Installation Outline

PCI configuration

The PCI cards (or CompactPCI cards) are equipped with plug and play
PCI controller, it can request base addresses and interrupt according to
PCI standard. The system BIOS will install the system resource based on
the PCI cards’ configuration registers and system parameters (which are
set by system BIOS). Interrupt assignment and memory usage (I/O port
locations) of the PCI cards can be assigned by system BIOS only. These
system resource assignments are done on a board-by-board basis. It is
not suggested to assign the system resource by any other methods.

PCI slot selection

The PCI card can be inserted to any PCI slot without any configuration for
system resource. Please note that the PCI system board and slot must
provide bus-mastering capability to operate this board well.

Installation Proced ures

1.Turn off your computer.

2.Turn off all accessories (printer, modem, monitor, etc.) connected to
your computer.

3. Remove the cover from your computer.

4. Setup jumpers on the PCI or CompactPCI card.

5. Select a 32-bit PCI slot. PCI slot are short than ISA or EISA slots, and
are usually white or ivory.

6.Before handling the PCI cards, discharge any static buildup on your
body by touching the metal case of the computer. Hold the edge and do
not touch the components.

7.Position the board into the PCI slot you selected.

8.Secure the card in place at the rear panel of the system.

2.11 Device Installation for Windows Systems

Once Windows 95/98/2000 has started, the Plug and Play function of
Windows system will find the new NuDAQ/NuIPC cards. If this is the first
time to install NuDAQ/NuIPC cards in your Windows system, you will be
informed to input the device information source. Please refer to the
“Software Installation Guide” for the steps of installing the device.

2.12 Daughter Board Connection

ACLD-

PCI

ACLD-

The PCI-9112 can be connected with five different daughter boards,
ACLD-8125, 9137, 9138, 9182, 9185, and 9188. The functionality and
connections are specified in the following sections.
The cPCI -9112 is equipped with 100 pin SCSI-II type connector, the DIN­100S is a general purpose terminal board for connecting the external
devices.

2.12.1 Connect with ACLD-8125

The ACLD-8125 has a 37 -pin D-sub connector, which can connect with
PCI-9112 through 37-pin assemble cable. The most outstanding feature
of this da ughter board is a CJC (cold junction compensation) circuit on
board. You can directly connect the thermocouple on the ACL-8125 board.
The CJC only suitable for High Gain version board.

2.12.2 Connect with ACLD-9137

The ACLD-9137 is a direct connector for the card which is equipped with
37-pin D-sub connector. This board provides a simple way for connection.
It is very suitable for the simple applications that do not need complex
signal condition before the A/D conversion is performed.

2.12.3 Connect with ACLD-9182

The ACLD-9182 is a 16 channel isolated digital input board. This board is
connected with CN1 of PCI-9112 via 20-pin flat cable. The advantage of
board is a 500Vdc isolation voltage is provided, and it can protect your PC
