Chapter 1
Introducing the CIO-DDA06/Jr/16
Overview: CIO-DDA06/Jr/16 features
The CIO-DDA06/JR/16 board combines up to six channels of analog output with 24 digital input/output
channels. The analog outputs are from AD660 DACs with each output buffered by an OP27.
Two analog output channels (AD660s) are installed in the board. Additional channels can be purchased in
pairs. (Additional AD660s are easily-installed plug-in chips.)
The analog outputs can be set for simultaneous update. Selecting XFER on the XFER/ UPDATE jumper causes
all analog data to be transferred to the outputs simultaneously. The simultaneous update option is a useful
feature for maintaining a known voltage at power-up. The power-up output voltage is zero volts, but the data in
the registers is unknown. Using the simultaneous update feature, the registers may be loaded with known data
(normally mid-scale or 8000h) and then all outputs updated to that value simultaneously.
The digital I/O lines are a direct interface to high-drive output and input latches. The digital control registers
emulate an 82C55 in mode 0 (simple I/O).

Unpacking the CIO-DDA06/Jr/16
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the CIO-DDA06/Jr/16 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

Installing the software
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installingthe 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.
The CIO-DDA06/Jr/16 has one base address switch and a simultaneous update jumper for each DAC pair. The
InstaCal calibration and test program will show you how to set th e switches. Run InstaCal before you open
your computer and install the board. The CIO-DDA06/Jr/16 is shipped with the factory-default settings listed in
the table below.
DIP switch for setting the base address 300h (768 decimal)
Jumper to select simultaneous or single channel update UPDATE position (single channel update)
Before installing the CIO-DDA06/Jr/16 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 CIO-DDA06/Jr/16 board.
Base address switch
Set the base address with 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. shows the base address switch set to its default base address of 300 hex. Figure 2

In the default configuration shown in Fi, 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
gure 2
300 hex (768 decimal).

CIO-DDA06/Jr/16 User's Guide Installing the CIO-DDA06/Jr/16
Disregard the numbers printed on the switch
When setting the base address, refer to the numbers printed in white on the printed circuit board.
Individual / simultaneous transfer jumper
The analog outputs can be jumpered so that new output data are held until all DAC registers hav e been loaded
with new data. The new data updates the voltage outputs when any of the board addresses are read.
A single jumper controls whether all of the DACs are either simultaneously transferred on a read (
individually updated when the control register is written (
UPDATE). Figure 3 shows the jumper block

Use this feature to maintain a zero volt output after power-up by loading all DAC registers with mid-scale
values (8000h) and then updating.
Installing the CIO-DDA06/Jr/16
After you configure the board's switches and jumpers, you can install the CIO-DDA06/Jr/16 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.
