A parallel digital word of up to 21 bits plus sign bit, at
LSTTL-compatible levels, may be connected to the digital input
connector on the front panel of the DCX-127. The value of this word
may be displayed in decimal or hexadecimal representations. A
user-entered scale factor may be entered and a function of actual input
displayed, multiplied by the scale factor. The digital word presented to
the connector may be in either two’s complement (binary plus a sign
bit) or 8-4-2-1 binary coded decimal (BCD) format. The word at the
connector may either be asynchronously sampled at any of four
different selectable reading rates or, in external mode, displayed each
time a “data good” or “conversion completed” pulse is presented at
pin 25. The maximum sampling rate depends largely on computer
speed.
Digital Output
An LSTTL-compatible parallel digital output word of up to 21 bits
plus a sign bit may be created at the digital output connector. The
value of the word may be entered into the software in either decimal or
hexadecimal representations or scaled decimal. The format of the word
(bit-to-pin relationship) may be selected as two’s complement or
8-4-2-1 binary coded decimal (BCD). The strobe line (pin 25) will be
pulsed low each time a new value is entered into the software panel or
stepped to during a sweep.
A typical application of digital output is in static (dc) linearity testing
of digital-to-analog converters. The digital output word drives the
converter; the analog output of the converter is measured with the
DCX-127 DVM. For high-resolution converters at output voltages more
than ±200 mV away from zero, it will be desirable to use one of the
DCX-127 dc outputs in conjunction with the DVM input in differential
voltmeter fashion so that the DVM can be set on its highest resolution
range. Another application of the digital output is control of
digitally-controllable turntables during polar response testing of
microphones and loudspeakers. Still another application is in testing
multiplying digital-to-analog converters (MDACs) used as variable
resistors, attenuators, or in other audio applications. Each bit output
has a five-milliampere current drive capability and 390 ohms output
impedance.
