Chapter 1
Introducing the CIO-CTR05
Overview: CIO-CTR05 features
The CIO-CTR05 is based on the 9513 counter/timer device. The CIO-CTR05 has one 9513 counter/timer
device. The 9513 device has five independent 16-bit counters (65,536 counts). Each counter has an input
source, count register, load register, hold register, alarm register, output, and gate associated with each counter.
The 9513 is software-programmable for event counting, pulse and frequency measurement, alarm comparisons,
and other input functions. The 9513 can generate frequencies with either complex duty cycles, or with one-shot
and continuous-output modes. You can chain up to five 9513 counters together using software to enable a 32-,
48-, 64-, or 80-bit counter that does not require hardware connections. The gate source and gating functions are
software-programmable.
An eight-bit digital output port provides logic-level control, and can be used to switch solid state relays. An
eight-bit digital input port can be used to sense contact closures and other TTL level signals.
Software features
For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your CIO-CTR05, refer to the
Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device.

Unpacking the CIO-CTR05
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the CIO-CTR05 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by
simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
If any components are missing or damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by
phone, fax, or e-mail:
Phone: 508-946-5100 and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support.
Fax: 508-946-9500 to the attention of Tech Support
Email: techsupport@mccdaq.com
Installing the software
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the Measurement Computing Data
Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-
Quick-Start.pdf.
Configuring the CIO-CTR05
The CIO-CTR05 has a base address switch, an interrupt level select jumper, and a wait state jumper which you
must set before installing the board in your computer. The InstaCal calibration and test program included with
the CIO-CTR05 will show you how to configure the board. Run InstaCal before you open your computer and
install the board. The CIO-CTR05 is shipped with the factory-default settings listed below.
Factory-configured default settings
Before installing the CIO-CTR05 in the computer, verify that the board is configured with the settings that you
want. Review the following information to change the default configuration of a jumper or switch on the CIOCTR05 board.
Base address switch
Before you install the CIO-CTR05 in your computer, set the base address by using the dip switch labeled
ADDRESS located on the board.
The easiest way to set the base address switch is to let InstaCal show you the correct settings. However, if are
already familiar with setting ISA base addresses, you may use the base address switch description below to
guide your base address selection.
Unless there is already another board in your system using address 300 hex (768 decimal), leave the switches as
they are set at the factory. The example shown in Figure 1 shows the settings for the factory-default base
address of 300 hex.

Figure 1. Base address switches
In the default configuration shown in Figure 1, addresses 9 and 8 are DOWN, and all others are UP.
Address 9 = 200 hex (512 decimal) and address 8 = 100 hex (256 decimal); when added together they equal
300 hex (768 decimal).
Disregard the numbers printed on the switch
When setting the base address, refer to the numbers printed in white on the printed circuit board.
PC I/O addresses
The CIO-CTR05 Base switch can be set for an address in the range of 000-3E0, so it should not be hard to find
a free address area for your CIO-CTR05. If you are not using IBM prototyping cards, or some other board
which occupies these addresses, then 300-31F HEX are free to use. Addresses not specifically listed, such as
390-39F, are free.

Interrupt level select jumper
Use the Interrupt Level Select jumper located above the PC bus interface (gold pins) to set the IRQ number you
want the interrupt pulse on.
This jumper is set by default with no interrupt level set ("X" position). Interrupts are hardware initiated
software routines and are described in the section on programming.
Figure 2. Interrupt Level Select jumper
Pin 1 (IR INPUT) of the 37-pin connector is an input jumper which maps the interrupt directly onto the PC bus.
The signal to the bus is buffered. The buffer is enabled by a TTL low level on Pin 2 (IR ENABLE).
Hardware interrupts assigned by the PC may be available; refer to the following table. Note that IRQ8 to IRQ15
are AT only.
Wait state jumper
The CIO-CTR05 board has a wait state jumper which you can set to enable an on-board wait state generator. A
wait state is an extra delay injected into the processor's clock via the bus. This delay slows down the processor
when the processor addresses the CIO-CTR05 board so that signals from slow devices (chips) will be valid.
The jumper is shown in Figure 3 configured for OFF (wait state is disabled).
The wait state generator on the CIO-CTR05 is only active when the CIO-CTR05 is being accessed. Your PC
will not be slowed down in general by using the wait state.

Installing the CIO-CTR05
After you configure the board's switches and jumpers, you can install the CIO-CTR05 into your computer. To
install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install
the MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on
installing the software.
1. Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available ISA slot.
2. Close your computer and turn it on.
3. To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility you installed in the previous
section. Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your board www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-
Software-Quick-Start.pdf for information on how to initially set up and load InstaCal.
