Introduction
This document outlines the feature set and use of the DNA/DNR-AI-208 strain
gauge analog input layer(s). The DNA version is used with the PowerDNA Core
Module, the DNR with the rack-mounted UeiDaq RACKtangle chassis This man-
ual describes the following products:
•
DNA/DNR-AI-208, 18-bit, 8-channel, differential input, analog input
strain gauge layer board(s)
•
DNA-STP-AI-208 Screw Terminal Panel Accessory Board, designed as
a convenient interface for connecting full-, half, and quarter-bridge strain
gauge-type sensors to the DNA/DNR-AI-208 board.
•
Accessory modules such as cables.
The DNR version is identical to the DNA version except that the DNR version is
designed to plug into a RACKtangle backplane instead of a Cube.

Organization
This DNA/DNR-AI-208 User Manual is organized as follows:
•
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of DNA/DNR-AI-208 board/layer fea-
tures, accessories, and what you need to get started.
•
DNx-AI-208 Layer
This chapter provides an overview of the device architecture, connec-
tivity, logic, and accessories for the DNA/DNR-AI-208 layer board.
•
Programming with High-Level API
This chapter provides a general overview of procedures that show how
to create a session, configure the session, and generate output on a
DNA/DNR-AI-208 layer, working with the UeiDaq Framework High-
Level API.
•
Programming with the Low-Level API
This chapter describes the Low-Level API commands for configuring
and using a DNA/DNR-AI-208 layer.
•
Appendices:
A--Accessories
This appendix provides a list of accessories available for use with a
DNA/DNR-AI-208 layer.
B--Shunt Calibration Support in Framework
This appendix describes procedures for using Framework to perform
shunt calibration of strain gauges. It includes examples of C++ code and
LabVIEW procedures for shunt calibration.
