Unpacking the PCI-DAS6402/16
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the PCI-DAS6402/16 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
! 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-DAS6402/16
The PCI-DAS6402/16 board is 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.
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.
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 you installed in the previous
section. Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your board www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-
installation.pdf for information on how to initially set up and load InstaCal.
If your board has been powered-off for more than 10 minutes, allow your computer to warm up for at least
15 minutes before acquiring data. This warm-up period is required in order for the board to achieve its rated
accuracy. The high speed components used on the board 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.
Configuring the PCI-DAS6402/16
All of the hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS6402/16 are software controlled. You can select some
of the configuration options using InstaCal, such as the analog input configuration (16 single-ended or eight
differential channels), the edge used for triggering when using an external pacer and the source for the two
independent counters. Once selected, any program that uses the Universal Library will initialize the hardware
according to these selections.

PCI-DAS6402/16 User's Guide Installing the PCI-DAS6402/16
Information on signal connections
General information regarding signal connection and configuration is available in the Guide to Signal
Connections. This document is available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/signals/signals.pdf).
Differential input mode
When all channels are configured for differential input mode, 32 analog input channels are available. In this
mode, the input signal is measured with respect to the low input. The input signal is typically delivered through
three wires:
! The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CH# HI.
! The wire carrying the reference signal connects to CH# LO.
! The third wire, typically a system ground, 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, 64 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 second wire is connected to LLGND.
Connecting the board for I/O operations
The PCI-DAS6402/16 uses a 100-pin I/O connector (refer to on page 2-4 and T on page 2-5).
The 100-pin connector provides a much greater signal density than the traditional 37-pin connector. Make
accurate notes and pay careful attention to wire connections. In a large system, a misplaced wire can create
hours of unnecessary troubleshooting.

Calibrating the PCI-DAS6402/16
Overview
The PCI-DAS6402/16 provides self-calibration of the analog inputs and outputs, eliminating the need for
external equipment and user adjustments. All adjustments are made via 8-bit calibration DACs and digital
potentiometers that are referenced to an on-board factory-calibrated standard. The board is fully calibrated at the
factory with calibration coefficients stored in nvRAM. At run time, these calibration factors are loaded into
system memory and are automatically retrieved each time a different DAC/ADC range is specified.
You can recalibrate any time using factory voltage standards by selecting the
full calibration typically requires less than two minutes. We strongly recommend that you turn your computer
on, and allow at least 60 minutes for the internal computer case temperature to stabilize prior to calibrating the
board.
Calibrate option in InstaCal. A
Calibration theory
Offset calibration for the analog front end is performed via adjustments of the ADC itself. Front-end gain
adjustment is performed only via the ADC reference. This strategy was chosen since the gain tolerance of the
in-amp circuit is quite good and there is adequate gain tuning range using only the ADC.
Analog input calibration is shown in . Figure 4-1

Each PCI-DAS6402/16 is tested at the factory to assure the board’s overall error does not exceed ±4.0 LSB.
Total analog output error is a combination of gain, offset, integral linearity, and differential linearity error. The
theoretical worst-case error of the board may be calculated by summing these component errors. Worst case
error is realized only in the unlikely event that each of the component errors are at their maximum level, and
causing error in the same direction. Although an examination of the chart and a summation of the maximum
theoretical errors shows that the board could theoretically exhibit a ±6.0 LSB error, our testing assures this error
is never realized in a board that we ship.
Typical accuracy is derived directly from the various component typical errors. This typical, maximum error
calculation for the PCI-DAS6402/16 yields ±3.5 LSB. However, this again assumes that each of the errors
contributes in the same direction and the ±3.5 LSB specification is quite conservative.
