Introducing the PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032
Overview: PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032 features
This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032 boards.
The PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032 boards provide either eight differential or 16 single-ended analog inputs
with 16 bit resolution. Input ranges are either Bipolar or Unipolar. Bipolar input ranges are ±10V, ±5V, ±2.0V,
±1V, ±0.5V, ±0.2V, and ±0.1V. Unipolar input ranges are 0 to 10V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 2V, 0 to 1V, 0 to 0.5V, 0 to
0.2V and 0 to 0.1V. The input ranges are software-selectable.
The PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032 have eight lines of digital I/O. The PCI-DAS6030 also provides two
digital-to-analog outputs.
Each board has nine user-configurable trigger/clock/gate pins that are available at a 100-pin I/O connector. Six
pins are configurable as inputs and three are configurable as outputs. Refer to Chapter 3 ("Functional Details")
and Chapter 5 ("Specifications") for more information.
The PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032 provide triggering and synchronization capability. There are five
trigger/strobes and a synchronizing clock provided on a 14-pin header. The DAQ-Sync signals use dedicated
pins. Only the direction can be set. Refer to Chapter 2 ("Installing the Board") and Chapter 5 ("Specifications")
for more information on these signals.
Interrupts can be generated by up to seven ADC sources and four DAC sources. Interrupt sources are listed in
Chapter 5 ("Specifications").
The PCI-DAS6030 and PCI-DAS6032 boards contain 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.
