Chapter 1
Introducing the PCI-CTR20HD board
Overview: PCI-CTR20HD features
This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-CTR20HD board. The PCI-CTR20HD is a highperformance, low-cost counter/timer board for PCI bus-compatible computers. This board can be used in such
applications as data acquisition, system timing, industrial process control, and laser systems.
The PCI-CTR20HD board is equipped with four 9513-based counter/timer devices. Each 9513 device has five
16-bit independent up-down counters (65,536 counts). An input source, dual count register, load register, hold
register, alarm register, output, and gate are associated with each counter. All are selectable via software.
You can configure the 9513 counter/timer device with software to perform event counting, pulse and frequency
measurements, watchdog timing, alarm comparisons, and other input functions. The 9513 counter/timer can
generate frequencies with either complex duty cycles or with one-shot and continuous-output modes.
Up to five counters can be chained together using software to enable a 32-, 48-, 64-, or 80-bit counter. No
hardware connections are required. The internal/external counter source, gate source, and gating functions are
software-programmable. The 9513 device also provides access to one PCI bus interrupt. This interrupt has two
user inputs.
Detailed information about the 9513 counter/timer device is available from the CTS9513-2 5 Chan 16 bit
20MHz Counter/Timer data sheet. The information in this data sheet will help you maximize the performance of
your PCI-CTR20HD board. This document is available from our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/9513A.pdf
.
Software features
For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your PCI-CTR20HD, refer to
the Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device. The Quick Start Guide is also available in PDF at

Unpacking the PCI-CTR20HD
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the PCI-DDA02/12 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.
Installing the PCI-CTR20HD
The PCI-CTR20HD board is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set. Configuration
is controlled by your system's BIOS. 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
Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available PCI slot.
1.
Close your computer and turn it on.
2.
If you are using an operating system with support for plug-and-play (such as Windows 2000 or
Windows XP), a dialog box pops up as the system loads indicating that new hardware has been detected. If
the information file for this board is not already loaded onto your PC, you will be prompted for the disk
containing this file. The MCC DAQ software contains this file. If required, insert the Measurement
Computing Data Acquisition Software CD and click
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.
OK.
Configuring the PCI-CTR20HD
All hardware configuration options on the PCI-CTR20HD are software-controlled. You can select some of the
configuration options using InstaCal, such as the frequency of the clock input source for each chip. Once
selected, any program that uses the Universal Library initializes the hardware according to these selections.

Programming and software applications
Measurement Computing’s Universal Library™ provides access to board functions from a variety of Windows
programming languages. If you are planning to write programs, or would like to run the example programs for
Visual Basic
site at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-user-guide.pdf
Packaged applications programs
Many packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE and HP-VEE™, now have drivers for your board. If
the package you own does not have drivers for your board, please fax or e-mail the package name and the
revision number from the install disks. We will research the package for you and advise how to obtain drivers.
Some application drivers are included with the Universal Library package, but not with the application package.
If you have purchased an application package directly from the software vendor, you may need to purchase our
Universal Library and drivers. Please contact us 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
or any other language, please refer to the Universal Library User's Guide (available on our web
).
Register-level programming
We recommend that you use the Universal Library or one of the packaged application programs mentioned
above for controlling your board. Only experienced programmers should attempt register level-programming.
If you need to program at the register level in your application, refer to the Register Map for the PCI-
CTR20HD. This document is available on our website at www.mccdaq.com/registermaps/RegMapPCI-
CTR20HD.pdf.

Typical for 25 °C unless otherwise specified.
Specifications in italic text are guaranteed by design.
Counters
Refer to CTS9513-2 data sheet for complete 9513 specifications and operating modes. The SAVE command for the
CTS9513 device does not behave predictably when using clocks which are not synchronous with the logic timing. If
the SAVE command must be used, we strongly recommend that the 3.3 MHz clock derived from the 33 MHz PCI
clock be selected as the clock source. The CTS9513-2 data sheet is available on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/9513A.pdf.
