This product is a USB2.0-compliant analog I/O unit that extends the
analog I/O function of USB port of PCs. This product features high-
precision 16bit analog inputs (32channels), high-precision 16bit analog
outputs (2channels), digital I/O (LVTTL level each 8channels), and a
counter (32bit binary, LVTTL level 2channels) function.
This product includes an event controller for integrated management of
control signals by hardware and buffer memory (128K data). Together,
these features provide all you need to build a high-performance PC-
based measurement and control system.
As there is compatible with PCI bus-compatible board ADA16-32/2(PCI)F
and PCI Express bus-compatible board AIO-163202F-PE in terms of
connector shape and pin assignments, it is easy to migrate from the
existing system.
Using the bundled API function library package [API-USBP(WDM)], you
can create Windows application software for this board in your favorite
programming language supporting Win32 API functions, such as Visual
Basic or Visual C/C++.
It can also collect data easily without a program when the data logger
software [C-LOGGER] stored on the attached CD-ROM is used. With
plug-ins for the dedicated libraries, this product also supports MATLAB
and LabVIEW.
Features
Multi-function
The unit contains analog inputs (16bit, 32channels), analog outputs
(16bit, 2channels), digital inputs (LVTTL level 8channels), digital outputs
(LVTTL level 8channels), and counters (32bit binary, LVTTL level
2channels). Combining all these features on one unit allows complex
systems to be implemented even on PCs with USB port only.
Compatible to USB1.1/USB2.0
Compatible to USB1.1/USB2.0 and capable to achieve high speed
transfer at HighSpeed (480 Mbps).
The event controller can be used to implement a wide range of
different sampling control schemes
This product incorporates an event controller for integrated hardware
control. The event controller can use the external control signals and the
events generated by the product functions to start and stop analog
input operation and perform clock control. This enables high-precision
synchronization of the various product functions without requiring
software. Also, each function can be operated separately.
Overview of event controller
Each I/O function can be
synchronized by the
operation starting/stopping
signal and the clock signal
etc. of each I/O function.
Example 1: Synchronize the timing of analog input and analog output
based on an external clock signal.
Example 2: Start analog input operation each time the counter value
reaches a constant one.
Buffer memory for 128K of data available for background processing
The analog inputs and outputs each have their own buffer memory
(128K data) which can be used. The buffer memory can be used as FIFO
or RING form. You can also perform analog input and output in the
background, independent of software and the current status of the PC.
USB HUB function, the CONTEC’s USB supported products (Max. 4)
can be used.
This product has the USB HUB function. Max. 4 AIO-163202FX-USB can
be used in 1 USB port of PC.*5 When you use 4 or more AIO-
163202FX-USB, you can do by connecting AIO-163202FX-USB to the
another USB port of PC side.
Also, you can connect the CONTEC’s USB supported products other
than AIO-163202FX-USB to the USB port of AIO-163202FX-USB. *1*2
Software-based calibration function
Calibration of analog input/output can be all performed by software.
Apart from the adjustment information prepared before shipment,
additional adjustment information can be stored according to the use
environment.
Filter function for easy connection of external signals
The digital input signals, counter input signals, and the external control
signals for analog I/O incorporate a digital filter to prevent problems
such as chattering.
Compatible with PCI / PCI Express bus board and Card Bus PC card in
it’s design. Common connector shape and pin assignment with PCI /
PCI Express bus board and Card Bus PC card.
This product has the common connector shape and pin assignment
with PCI bus board ADA16-32/2(PCI)F, PCI Express bus board AIO-
163202F-PE and Card Bus PC card ADA16-32/2(CB)F *3 so you can use
the common cables and accessories, it is easy to migrate from the
existing system *4.
AIO-163202FX-USB has neither the bus master transfer function nor a synchronous control connectors that
exist in the PCI bus-compatible board ADA16-32/2(PCI)F and the PCI Express bus-compatible board AIO-
163202F-PE. In the system that uses the bus master transfer function and the synchronous control connector,
it is not likely to be able to shift.
Data logger software, Windows compatible driver libraries are
attached.
The attached data logger software [C-LOGGER] enables the graph
display of recorded signal data and file saving without a program. Also,
driver library API-USBP(WDM) that makes it possible to create
applications of Windows is attached.
