DIO-16 User Manual

Introduction

The DIO-16 provides 8 optically isolated inputs and 8 reed relay outputs. The inputs
(rated for 3-13V) protect the PC and other sensitive equipment from spikes and
ground loop current that can be generated in industrial environments, while the
outputs provide high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact
switch closures. Reed relays are well suited for low current applications. The relays
are normally open, and will close when energized. The board is PCI bus
specification 2.1 compliant.

The DIO-16 is designed to be used with a variety of Operating Systems including
Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP, Linux and DOS. The SeaI/O API (Application
Programmer Interface) included on CD with the DIO-16 provides a variety of useful
high-level function calls implemented as a Windows dynamic link library (DLL) and
as a Linux kernel module and library. In addition to the API, SeaI/O includes
sample code and utilities to simplify software development.

Card Setup

The DIO-16 contains several jumper straps for each port that must be set for proper
operation.

Address Selection

The DIO-16 occupies 4 consecutive I/O locations. The DIP-switch (SW1) is used to
set the base address for these locations. Be careful when selecting the base address
as some selections conflict with existing PC ports. The following table shows
several examples that usually do not cause a conflict.

The following illustration shows the correlation between the DIP-switch setting and
the address bits used to determine the base address. In the example below, address
300 is selected as the base address. Address 300 in binary is XX 11 0000 00XX
where X = a non-selectable address bit and address bit A9 is always a 1.

IRQ Header E2

Interrupts can be generated by Port A, bit 0 going low if enabled at jumper location
(E2). Interrupt request signals 2/9 through 7 (IRQ 2/9 - 7) can be selected by placing
the jumper in the appropriate position. Other inputs can be ‘wire OR ed.’ to also
generate interrupts if desired. Please consult the factory for more information.

Software Installation

Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Installation

Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully
installed.

1. Start Windows.

2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.

3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically
launch. Otherwise, point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root
directory of the CD

4. Select ‘Install Software’.

5. Select the Part Number for your adapter from the listing.

6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically
detect the operating environment and install the proper components. Next
(depending on your browser) select the ‘Run this program from its current
location’ or ‘Open’ option. Follow the information presented on the screens
that follow.

7. A screen may appear with the declaration: “The publisher cannot be
determined due to the problems below: Authenticode signature not found.”
Please select the ‘Yes’ button and proceed with the installation. This
declaration simply means that the Operating System is not aware of the
driver being loaded. It will not cause any harm to your system.

8. During setup the user may specify installation directories and other preferred
configurations. This program also adds entries to the system registry that are
necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each driver. An
uninstall option is also included to remove all registry/INI file entries from
the system.

Windows NT Card Installation: After accomplishing the above steps, bring up the
Control Panel and double-click on the SeaIO Devices icon. To install a new card,
click "Add Port". Repeat this procedure for as many SeaIO cards as you wish to
install.
