1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual covers two boards, the CIO-DAS801 and the CIO-DAS802. These two boards are identical except for the programmable
input ranges available. The CIO-DAS802 offers more choices in the range from 10 volts to 0.625 volts, but the CIO-DAS801 offers a
wider range of choices from 10 volts down to 0.01 volts.
This manual will refer to both boards as CIO-DAS80# except in cases where these differences apply.
1.2 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Before you open your computer and install the board, install and run InstaCal, the installation, calibration and test utility included with
your board. InstaCal will guide you through switch and jumper settings for your board. Detailed information regarding these settings
can be found below. Refer to the Software Installation manual for InstaCal installation instructions.
1.3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
There are two banks of switches and two jumpers to set on the CIO-DAS80# before installing your board into your computer.
1.
BASE ADDRESS SWITCH. A base address must be chosen and selected via on-board switches.
2.
INPUT SELECT SWITCHES. Analog inputs are differential or single-ended. You may choose either on a channel-by-channel
basis. The set of DIP switches on the board, labeled S2, 0 through 7, correspond to the channels 0 to 7 of the analog inputs.
3.
INTERRUPT SELECT JUMPER. In order to take advantage of high speed transfers, you must provide the board with an inter-
rupt that is not used by other devices in your computer. Use the IR jumper to select an interrupt level between 2 and 7 or to dis-
able interrupts (X).
4.
WAIT STATE JUMPER. A wait state jumper allows you to slow down a (future) computer bus that is too fast for the board.
(We have not seen the need for it yet.) Set jumper WSt to “ON” to enable wait states.
1.3.1 BASE ADDRESS
The base address of the CIO-DAS80# is set by switching a bank of DIP
switches on the board (Figure 2-1). This bank of switches is labeled ADDRESS
and numbered 9 to 3. Refer to the Software Installation Manual for instructions
for using InstaCal as an aid in setting the base address switches.
Ignore the word ON and the numbers printed on the switch.
The address is derived by the software adding up the weights of individual
switches to yield a base address. A 'weight' is active when the switch is down.
Shown to the right, switches 9 and 8 are down, all others are up. Weights 200H
and 100H are active, equaling 300H base address. Refer to Table 2-1 for PC I/O
addresses.
