QUICK START
The CIO-CTR05 and CIO-CTR10 are easy to use. Here is the quick start procedure
for those who know how to open the PC and install expansion boards, and want to
dive right in. The CIO-CTR10 is really a single board with two CIO-CTR05's on it.
For the balance of this manual we will refer to both boards as the CIO-CTR, and will
only use the complete board name in instances where there are items specific to one
board or the other.
This quick start procedure will help you quickly and easily setup, install and test your
board. We assume you already know how to open the PC and install expansion
boards. If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with board installation, please refer to
your computer’s documentation. Though we recommend the use of Inst aCal to guide
you through your installation, detailed written instructions are provided in the next
chapter.
We recommend you perform the software installation described in
sections below prior to installing the board in your computer. The
InstaCal
TM
operations below will show you how to properly set the
switches and jumpers on the board prior to physically installing the
board in your computer.
INSTALLING INSTACALTM
Windows (in its various forms) and DOS use rs install the program by running the
INSTALL.EXE program supplied on your InstaCal diskette (some releases of InstaCal
will provide SETUP.EXE rather than Install.EXE. Use SETUP.EXE if it is included
on your InstaCal disk). It will create all required folders/directories and unpack the
various pieces of compressed software. Simply run install/setup and follow the onscreen instructions. Note where the installed files are placed, as you will need to
access them in the next step (the default location is on your main hard drive in a directory or folder named C:\CB\).

LOW PASS FILTERS DE-BOUNCE INPUTS
A low pass filter is placed on the signal wires between a signal and an A/D board. It
stops frequencies greater than the cut off frequency from entering the A/D board's
analog or digital inputs.
The key term in a low pass filter circuit is cut off frequency. The cut of frequency is
that frequency above which no variation of voltage with respect to time may enter the
circuit. For example, if a low pass filter had a cut off frequency of 30 Hz, the kind of
interference associated with line voltage (60Hz) would be filtered out but a signal of
25Hz would be allowed to pass.
Also, in a digital circuit, a low pass filter might be used to de-bounce an input from a
momentary contact button pushed by a person.
A low pass filter may be constructed from one resistor (R) and one capacitor (C). The
cut off frequency is determined according to the formula:
1
Fc = 2 * Pi * R * C
Where Pi = 3.14...
1
R = 2* Pi * C * Fc

again, and at the main menu select Test.
a. Select the board you just installed
b. Select Internal Test
c. The internal control registers of the board will then be tested. If this test
is successful, your board is installed correctly. If not, you likely have
a base address conflict, or have the base address switch set incorrectly.
Please refer to the next chapter for more information regarding selecting
and setting the base address.
d. If the Internal Test is completed successfully, you may want to check
that the I/O pins are working correctly. To check this select
External Test and follow the instruction provided. This will

A voltage divider takes advantage of the fact that the voltage across one of the resistors in a circuit is proportional to the voltage across the total resistance in the circuit.
The trick to using a voltage divider is to choose two resistors with the proper proportions relative to the full scale of the digital input and the maximum signal voltage.
The phenomena of dropping the voltage proportionally is often called attenuation.
The formula for attenuation is:
For a given attenuation, pick a handy resistor
and call it R2, then use this formula to calculate R1.
R1 = (A - 1) * R2
For example, if the signal varies between 0
and 20 volts and you wish to measure that with
an analog input with a full scale range of 0 to
10 volts, the Attenuation is 2:1 or just 2.
2 = 10K + 10K
10K
The variable Attenuation is the proportional
difference between the signal voltage max,
and the full scale of the analog input.
Attenuation = R1 + R2
R2
Digital inputs also make use of voltage dividers, for example, if you wish to measure a
digital signal that is at 0 volts when off and 24 volts when on, you cannot connect that
directly to the CIO-CTR digital inputs. The voltage must be dropped to 5 volts max
when on. The Attenuation is 24:5 or 4.8. Use the equation above to find an appropriate R1 if R2 is 1K. Remember that a TTL input is 'on' when the input voltage is
greater than 2.5 volts.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The resistors, R1 and R2, are going to dissipate all the power in the divider circuit accord ing to the equa tion
Current = Voltage / Resistance. The higher the value of the resistance (R1 + R2) the less power dissipated by the divider circuit.
Here is a simple rule:
For Attenuation of 5:1 or less, no resistor should be less than 10K.
For Attenuation of greater than 5:1, no resistor should be less than
1K.
The CIO-TERMINAL has the circuitry on board to create custom voltage dividers.
The CIO-TERMINAL is a 16" by 4" screw terminal board with two 37 pin D type
connectors and 56 screw terminals (12 - 22 AWG). Designed for table top, wall or
rack mounting, the board provides prototype, divider circuit, filter circuit and pull-up

ELECTRONICS AND INTERFACING
VOLTAGE DIVIDERS
If you wish to measure a signal which varies over a range greater than the input range
of a digital input, a voltage divider can drop the voltage of the input signal to the level
the digital input can measure.
A voltage divider takes advantage of Ohm's law, which states,
Voltage = Current * Resistance
and Kirkoff's voltage law which states,
The sum of the voltage drops around a circuit will be equal to the voltage drop for the
entire circuit.
Implied in the above is that any variation in the voltage drop for the circuit as a whole
will have a proportional variation in all the voltage drops in the circuit.

DETAILED INSTALLATION
We highly recommend that you use the InstaCAL procedure described in the previous
chapter to guide you through setting up your board . However, the following sections
are provided in case you need to set up your board and you do not have access to the
InstaCAL program.
The CIO-CTR has one bank of switches, a base address switch, and one jumper block
which must be set before installing the board in your computer. The calibration and
test program included with the CIO-CTR will show how these switches are to be set
and should be run before you open your computer.
BASE ADDRESS
Unless there is already a board in your
system which uses address 300 HEX
(768 Decimal) then you can leave the
switches as they are set at the factory.
In the example shown here, the CIOCTR is set for base address 300H (768
Decimal).
Certain address are used by the PC, others are free and may be used by the CIO-CTR
and other expansion boards. We recommend BASE = 300H (768D) be tried first.

The CIO-CTR BASE switch may be set for address in the range of 000-3F8 (000-3FC
for the CIO-CTR05) so it should not be hard to find a free address area for your CIOCTR. Once again, if you are not using IBM prototyping cards or some other board
which occupies these addresses, then 300-31F HEX are free to use.
Address not specifically listed, such as 390-39F, are usually free.
INTERRUPT LEVEL SELECT
There are two rows of jumper blocks on the CIO-CTR10 and one on the CIO-CTR05,
located just above the PC bus interface (gold pins). The factory default setting is that
no interrupt level is set. The jumper is in the 'X' position.
Please leave the jumper in the 'X' position for now. Interrupts are hardware initiated
software routines and are discussed in the section on programming.
On the CIO-CTR10 the lower block,
J2, is for the IR input on P1. The
upper block, J3, is for the IR input
on P2
The trigger logic on the CIO-CTR is
quite simple. Pin 1 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, interrupt
enable.
The interrupt level jumper on the
CIO-CTR must also be installed.
Move it from the 'X' position to the
IRQ number you want the interrupt pulse on. On the CTR10, jumper block J2 is associated with the signals on connector P1. Jumper block J3 is associated with the signals on connector P2.

WAIT STATE JUMPER
The CIO-CTR boards have a wait state
jumper which can 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 so that signals from slow
devices (chips) will be valid.
The wait state generator on the CIO-CTR
is only active when the CIO-CTR is being
accessed. Your PC will not be slowed
down in general by using the wait state.
We recommend that the wait state be used in all 16MHz or faster PCs.

INSTALLING THE CIO-CTR IN THE COMPUTER
Turn the power off. Remove the cover of your computer. Please be careful not to dislodge any of the cables installed in your computer as you slide the cover off.
Locate an empty expansion slot in your computer. If you are installing a CIO-CTR10,
it is best to locate two slots side by side. If you can create two side by side by moving
boards, do so.
From the rear of the computer, place the CIO-CTR10 in the right hand of the two
empty slots. This means that the empty slot is on the component side of the
CIO-CTR. Cabling will be easier if there is an empty slot on the component side of
the board.
Push the board firmly down into the expansion bus connector. If it is not seated fully
it may fail to work and could short circuit the PC bus power onto a PC bus signal.
This could damage the motherboard in your PC as well as the CIO-CTR. The CIOCTR connector is a male 37 pin 'D' type connector. All the signals from the 9513,
digital input, digital output and interrupt are accessible.The CTR10 has two of these
connectors, P1 and P2. The signals on both are identical.

DIGITAL I/O REGISTERS
The digital input port at BASE + 2 is a 74LS373 input buffer with a strobe line.
When STROBE is high, the current status of the inputs to the 74LS373 may be read.
When STROBE goes low, the 74LS373 inputs are latched.
The digital output port at BASE + 3 is a 74LS273 output buffer. Each write to BASE
+ 3 places a byte of data on the output port.

CIO-CTR10 SECOND 9513
The CIO-CTR10 has two 9513 chips on it. The second of these, the one accessible
via connector P2 at the rear of the board, is wired up identically to the 9513 on P1.
Both are Keithley/MetraByte CTM-05 compatible both at the connector and the register level. Software written for the CTM-05, including Labtech Notebook, HP VEE
and other third party software can operate both 'CTM-05s'. Simply install one
CTM-05 at the BASE ADDRESS and install the other at the BASE ADDRESS + 4.
On the CIO-CTR10, the second 9513 counter timer chip's address is fixed at the
board's base address + 4. If the board were configured at 300H (768 Decimal), then
the second 9513 would reside at 304H (772 Decimal). No switches need to be set.

SOFTWARE
Each CIO-CTR board is supplied with the InstaCal installation, calibration and test
package. Use it to guide the installation procedure. InstaCAL installation is
described in chapter one (Quick Start).
The CIO-CTR family is fully supported by the powerful Universal Library package.
Details regarding installation and usage of the Universal Library software can be
found in the Universal Library documentation. Please note that InstaCal also creates a
configuration file required for programmers who use the Universal Library programming libraries.
For those programmers writing drivers of their own, a complete register description
follows.

CIO-CTR ARCHITECTURE
CONTROL & DATA REGISTERS
The CIO-CTR10 is composed of 2 AM9513 counter timer chips. The CIO-CTR05
contains one 9513. Each 9513 contains five counters of 16 bits each. Associated with
each counter are an input source, a count register, a load register, a hold register, an
output and a gate. The 9513 is extremely flexible and this flexibility can make it a
challenge to program the chip directly.
Unlike an Intel 8254 which has a single source, single gate and unique I/O address for
each counter, the 9513 is fully programmable and any counter may be internally connected to any gate and receive it's counts from a number of sources. In addition, each
counter does not have a unique I/O address. The 9513 takes only two address per
chip, one of which is a data path to the counter's load and hold registers.
There is no 9513 register information in this manual. Those wishing to know more
about the AM9513 and its programming should request the manual from our technical
support group. As of this writing there is no charge for the manual.
However, we suggest that you use the Universal Library, rather than resort to programming the 9513 directly. It is difficult to program and because programming support is availabl e through the Universal Lib rary, we cannot help with other 9513 programming.
CIO-CTR10 & CIO-CTR05 ADDRESSES
The CIO-CTR is an I/O mapped expansion board. The CTR10 occupies 8 I/O
addresses and the CTR05 occupies 4 addresses.
The first address, or BASE ADDRESS, is determined by setting a bank of switches on
the board.
Most of the functions that this board is capable of performing can be acheived using
the Universal Library. Unless you have a good reason for direct register
manipulation, we suggest you use the Universal Library.
