AT-MIO E Series RLPM

Analog input DAQ-STC programming consists of the following functions 
which call the 

DAQ_STC_Windowed_Mode_Read

 and 

DAQ_STC_Windowed_Mode_Write

 functions:

AI_Initialize_Configuration_Memory_Ouput,

MSC_Clock_Configure,

Clear_FIFO,

AI_Reset_All,

AI_Board_Personalize,

FIFO_Request,

AI_Hardware_Gating,

AI_Trigger_Signals,

Number_of_Scans,

AI_Scan_Start,

AI_End_of_Scan,

Convert_Signal,

AI_Interrupt_Enable,

AI_Arming,

AI_Start_The_Acquisition,

As the analog input examples increase in complexity, more of these 
functions will be necessary. The functions will be presented in the 
applicable examples; subsequent examples address only the specific 
differences from Example 1. This manual provides the structure and 
pseudo-code for each example. The AT E Series Register Level 
Programmer Manual
 Companion Disk contains the complete programs. 
The following pseudo-code examples and the programs on the Companion 
Disk follow the flowchart structure presented in the DAQ-STC Technical 
Reference Manual

Example 1

This example acquires one sample from channel 0. 

Connect a voltage source to ACH0 on the I/O connector. Channel 0 should 
be configured for bipolar RSE with no dithering. No external multiplexers 
are present. Sample analog input channel 0 at a gain of 1 and read the 
unscaled result. Compare the unscaled value to the input voltage.

The first two steps set up the E Series board, and the subsequent steps 
configure the DAQ-STC.

1.

Set up the Plug and Play resources. Use the function 

Setup_PNP_Board

 provided on the Companion Disk.

2.

The second step configures the analog channel for the given settings.
