Chapter 1

Introducing the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014

Overview: PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 features

This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 analog and digital I/O boards.

These boards differ in that the PCI-DAS6014 has two digital-to-analog outputs, while the PCI-DAS6013 has no digital-to-analog outputs.

Both boards provide up to 16 analog inputs. Each input can be individually configured as single-ended or differential. The analog inputs have 16-bit resolution.

The boards' input ranges are bipolar-only. They have four ranges of ±10V, ±5V, ±500mV, and ±50mV. The ranges are software-selectable.

The boards provide nine user-configurable trigger/clock/gate pins. They are available at a 100-pin I/O connector. Six are configurable as inputs and three are configurable as outputs.

Interrupts can be generated by up to seven ADC sources on both boards, and by up to four DAC sources on the PCI-DAS6014.

Each board contains an 82C54 counter chip, which consists of three 16-bit counters. Clock, gate, and output signals from two of the three counters are available on the 100-pin I/O connector. The third counter is used internally.

Software features

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 hardware

The PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 boards are completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set on the board. 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.

1. Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available PCI slot.

2. Close your computer and turn it on.

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 OK.

3. To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility installed in the previous section.

Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your board for information on how to initially set up and load InstaCal.

Allow your computer to warm up for at least 15 minutes before acquiring data with these boards. The high speed components used on these boards generate heat and it takes this amount of time for a board to reach steady state if it has been powered off for a significant amount of time.

PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 User's Guide Installing the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014

Configuring the hardware

All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 are software controlled. You can select some of the configuration options using InstaCal, such as digital channel configuration (input or output). Once selected, any program that uses the Universal Library initializes the hardware according to these selections.

Following is an overview of the available hardware configuration options for this board. There is additional general information regarding analog signal connection and configuration in the Guide to Signal Connections (available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/signals/signals.pdf).

Differential input mode

When all channels are configured for differential input mode, eight analog input channels are available. In this mode, the input signal is measured with respect to the low input. The input signal is delivered through three wires:

 The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CH# IN HI.  The wire carrying the reference signal connects to CH# IN LO.  The third wire is connected to LLGND.

Differential input mode is the preferred configuration for applications in noisy environments, or when the signal source is referenced to a potential other than PC ground.

Single-ended input mode

When all channels are configured for single-ended input mode, 16 analog input channels are available. In this mode, the input signal is referenced to the board’s signal ground (LLGND). The input signal is delivered through two wires:

 The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CH# IN HI.  The other wire is connected to LLGND.

Non-referenced single-ended input mode

This mode is a compromise between differential and single-ended modes. It offers some of the advantages of each mode. With non-referenced single-ended mode, you can still get noise rejection, but not the limited number of channels resulting from a fully differential configuration. A possible downside is that the external reference input must be the same for every channel. It is equivalent to configuring the inputs for differential mode, tying all of the low inputs together, and using that node as the reference input.

When configured for non-referenced single-ended input mode, 16 analog input channels are available. In this mode, each input signal is referenced to a common reference signal (AISENSE), and not to the board’s ground. The input signal is delivered through three wires:

 The wire carrying the signal to measure connects to CH# IN HI.  The wire carrying the reference signal connects to AISENSE.  The third wire is connected to LLGND.

This mode is useful when the application calls for differential input mode, but the limitation on channel count prevents it.

Functional Details

Basic architecture

Figure 3 on page 19 shows a simplified block diagram of the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014. These boards provide all of the functional elements shown in the figure.

The System Timing and Control (STC) is the logical center for all DAQ, DIO, and DAC (if applicable) operations. It communicates over two major busses: a local bus and a memory bus.

The local bus carries digital I/O data and software commands from the PCI Bus Master. There are two Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels provided for data transfers to the PC.

Primarily, the memory bus carries A/D and D/A (PCI-DAS6014 only) related data and commands. There are three buffer memories provided on the memory bus:

 The queue buffer (8K configuration memory) stores programmed channel numbers, gains, and offsets.  The ADC buffer (8K FIFO [First In, First Out]) temporarily stores scanned and converted analog inputs.  The DAC 16K buffer stores data to be output as analog waveforms (this buffer function only applies to the

PCI-DAS6014).

Auxiliary input & output interface

Each board's 100-pin I/O connector provides six software-selectable inputs, and three software-selectable outputs. The signals are user-configurable clocks, triggers and gates.

Refer to the "DAQ signal timing" section on page 20 for more explanation of these signals and their timing requirements.

The following table lists all of the possible and the default signals you use on the nine pins. D/A signals pertain only to the PCI-DAS6014.

The DAQ timing signals are:

 SCANCLK  A/D START TRIGGER  A/D STOP TRIGGER  STARTSCAN  SSH  A/D CONVERT  A/D PACER GATE  A/D EXTERNAL TIMEBASE  A/D STOP

SCANCLK signal

SCANCLK is an output signal that may be used for switching external multiplexers. It is a 400 ns wide pulse that follows the CONVERT signal after a 50 ns delay. This is adequate time for the analog input signal to be acquired so that the next signal may be switched in. The polarity of the SCANCLK signal is programmable. The default output pin for the SCANCLK signal is AUXOUT2, but any of the AUXOUT pins may be programmed as a SCANCLK output.

Figure 4. SCANCLK signal timing

A/D START TRIGGER signal

Use the A/D START TRIGGER signal for conventional triggering (when you only need to acquire data after a trigger event). Figure 5 shows the A/D START TRIGGER signal timing for a conventionally triggered acquisition.

Figure 5. A/D START TRIGGER — Data acquisition example for conventional triggering

The A/D START TRIGGER source is programmable and may be set to any of the AUXIN inputs. The polarity of this signal is also programmable to trigger acquisitions on either the positive or negative edge.

The A/D START TRIGGER signal is also available as an output and can be programmed to appear at any of the AUXOUT outputs. See Figure 6 and Figure 7 for A/D START TRIGGER input and output timing requirements.

Figure 6. A/D START TRIGGER input signal timing

Figure 7. A/D START TRIGGER output signal timing

The A/D START TRIGGER signal is also used to initiate pre-triggered DAQ operations (when you need to acquire data just before a trigger event). In most pre-triggered applications, the A/D START TRIGGER signal is generated by a software trigger. The use of A/D START TRIGGER and A/D STOP TRIGGER in pretriggered DAQ applications is explained next.

A/D STOP TRIGGER signal

Pre-triggered data acquisition continually acquires data into a circular buffer until a specified number of samples have been collected after the trigger event. Figure 8 illustrates a typical pre-triggered DAQ sequence.

Figure 8. A/D STOP TRIGGER — Pre-triggered data acquisition example

The A/D STOP TRIGGER signal signifies when the circular buffer should stop and when the specified number of post trigger samples should be acquired. It is available as an output and an input. By default, it is available at AUXIN2 as an input but may be programmed for access at any of the AUXIN pins. It may be programmed for access at any of the AUXOUT pins as an output.

When using the A/D STOP TRIGGER signal as an input, the polarity may be configured for either rising or falling edge. The selected edge of the A/D STOP TRIGGER signal initiates the post-triggered phase of a pretriggered acquisition sequence.

As an output, the A/D STOP TRIGGER signal indicates the event separating the pre-trigger data from the posttrigger data. The output is an active high pulse with a pulse width of 50 ns. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the input and output timing requirements for the A/D STOP TRIGGER signal.

STARTSCAN signal

The STARTSCAN output signal indicates when a scan of channels has been initiated. You can program this signal to be available at any of the AUXOUT pins. The STARTSCAN output signal is a 50 ns wide pulse the leading edge of which indicates the start of a channel scan.

Figure 11. STARTSCAN start of scan timing

SSH signal

The SSH signal can be used as a control signal for external sample/hold circuits. The SSH signal is a programmable polarity pulse that is asserted throughout a channel scan. The state of this signal changes after the start of the last conversion in the scan. The SSH signal may be routed via software selection to any of the AUXOUT pins. Figure 12 shows the timing for the SSH signal.

A/D CONVERT signal

The A/D CONVERT signal indicates the start of an A/D conversion. It is available through software selection as an input to any of the AUXIN pins (defaulting to AUXIN0) and as an output to any of the AUXOUT pins.

When used as an input, the polarity is software selectable. The A/D CONVERT signal starts an acquisition on the selected edge. The convert pulses must be separated by a minimum of 5 µs to remain within the 200 kS/s conversion rate specification.

Refer back to Figure 5 on page 20 and Figure 8 on page 21 for the relationship of A/D CONVERT to the DAQ sequence. Figure 13 and Figure 14 show the input and output pulse width requirements for the A/D CONVERT signal.

Figure 13. A/D CONVERT signal input timing requirement

Figure 14. A/D CONVERT signal output timing requirement

The A/D CONVERT signal is generated by the on-board pacer circuit unless the external clock option is in use. This signal may be gated by hardware (A/D PACER GATE) or software.

A/D PACER GATE signal

The A/D PACER GATE signal is used to disable scans temporarily. This signal may be programmed for input at any of the AUXIN pins.

If the A/D PACER GATE signal is active, no scans can occur. If the A/D PACER GATE signal becomes active during a scan in progress, the current scan is completed and scans are then held off until the gate is de-asserted.

A/D EXTERNAL TIMEBASE signal

You can use the A/D EXTERNAL TIMEBASE signal as the source for the on-board pacer circuit rather than the 40 MHz internal time base. Any AUXIN pin can be set programmatically as the source for this signal. The polarity is programmable.

The maximum frequency for the A/D EXTERNALTIMEBASE signal is 20 MHz. The minimum pulse width is 23 ns high or low. There is no minimum frequency specification.

Figure 15 shows the timing specifications for the A/D EXTERNAL TIMEBASE signal.

A/D STOP signal

The A/D STOP signal indicates a completed acquisition sequence. You can program this signal to be available at any of the AUXOUT pins. The A/D STOP output signal is a 50 ns wide pulse whose leading edge indicates a DAQ done condition.

Figure 16. A/D STOP signal timing

Waveform generation timing signals (PCI-DAS6014 only)

The signals that control the timing for the analog output functions on the PCI-DAS6014 are:

 D/A START TRIGGER  D/A UPDATE  D/A EXTERNAL TIME BASE

D/A START TRIGGER signal

The D/A START TRIGGER signal is used to hold off output scans until after a trigger event. Any AUXIN pin can be programmed to serve as the D/A START TRIGGER signal. It is also available as an output on any AUXOUT pin.

When used as an input, the D/A START TRIGGER signal may be software selected as either a positive or negative edge trigger. The selected edge of the D/A START TRIGGER signal causes the DACs to start generating the output waveform.

The D/A START TRIGGER signal can be used as an output to monitor the trigger that initiates waveform generation. The output is an active-high pulse having a width of 50 ns.

Figure 17 and Figure 18 show the input and output timing requirements for the D/A START TRIGGER signal.

D/A CONVERT signal

The D/A CONVERT signal causes a single output update on the D/A converters. You can program any AUXIN pin to accept the D/A CONVERT signal. It is also available as an output on any AUXOUT pin.

The D/A CONVERT input signal polarity is software selectable. DAC outputs update within 100ns of the selected edge. The D/A CONVERT pulses should be no less than 100 µs apart.

When used as an output, the D/A CONVERT signal may be used to monitor the pacing of the output updates. The output has a pulse width of 225 ns with selectable polarity.

The following figures show the input and output timing requirements for the D/A CONVERT signal.

The general-purpose counter signals are:

 CTR1 CLK  CTR1 GATE  CTR1 OUT  CTR2 CLK  CTR2 GATE  CTR2 OUT

CTR1 CLK signal

The CTR1 CLK signal can serve as the clock source for independent user counter 1. It can be selected through software at the CTR1 CLK pin rather than using the on-board 10 MHz or 100 kHz sources. It is also polarity programmable. The maximum input frequency is 10 MHz. There is no minimum frequency specified. Figure 22 shows the timing requirements for the CTR1 CLK signal.

Calibrating the Board

Introduction

You should calibrate the board (using the InstaCal utility) after the board has fully warmed up. The recommended warm-up time is 15 minutes. For best results, calibrate the board immediately before making critical measurements. The high resolution analog components on the board are somewhat sensitive to temperature. Pre-measurement calibration ensures that your board is operating at optimum calibration values.

Calibration theory

Analog inputs are calibrated for offset and gain. Offset calibration for the analog inputs is performed directly on the input amplifier, with coarse and fine trim DACs acting on the amplifier.

For input gain calibration, a precision calibration reference is used with coarse and fine trim DACs acting on the ADC (see Figure 28).

Offset Adjust

A similar method is used to calibrate the analog output components (PCI-DAS6014 only). A trim DAC is used to adjust the gain of the DAC. A separate DAC is used to adjust offset on the final output amplifier. The calibration circuits are duplicated for both analog outputs (see Figure 29).
