Support Software
Windows version of digital I/O driver API-AIO(WDM)
[Stored on the bundled disk driver library API-PAC(W32)]
The API-AIO(WDM) is the Windows version driver library software that
provides products in the form of Win32 API functions (DLL). Various
sample programs such as Visual Basic and Visual C++, etc and diagnostic
program useful for checking operation is provided.
For more details on the supported OS, applicable language and new
information, please visit the CONTEC’s Web site.
Linux version of digital I/O driver API-AIO(LNX)
[Stored on the bundled disk driver library API-PAC(W32)]
The API-AIO(LNX) is the Linux version driver software which provides
device drivers (modules) by shared library and kernel version. Various
sample programs of gcc are provided.
For more details on the supported OS, applicable language and new
information, please visit the CONTEC’s Web site.
Data acquisition VI library for LabVIEW VI-DAQ
(Available for downloading (free of charge) from the CONTEC web
site.)
This is a VI library to use in National Instruments LabVIEW. VI-DAQ is
created with a function form similar to that of LabVIEW's Data Acquisition
VI, allowing you to use various devices without complicated settings.
For more details on the library and download of VI-DAQ, please visit the
CONTEC’s Web site.

Connect the plus side of external device.
Common for each "External Trigger Input", "External Sampling Clock Input", "Timer
Out", "Settling Busy Output" signal.
Minus Common
Connect the minus side of external device.
Common for each "Timer Out", "Settling Busy Output" signal.
N.C.
No connection to this pin.
▼
CAUTION
Do not connect any of the outputs and power outputs to the analog or digital ground.
Neither connect outputs to each other. Doing either can result in a fault.
Analog Output Signal Connection
The sections below describe how to connect the signals using flat cable
and shielded cable.
Connecting example of voltage output
The following figure shows an example of optional flat cable (PCA37P)
connection. Connect the CN1 analog output channels and ground to the
external device's input and ground.
Connection of voltage output (Flat Cable)
The following example connects a signal source to the board using a
shielded cable. Use shielded cable if the distance between the board
and loading is long or if you want to provide better protection from
noise. Use the core of the shielded cable to connect the analog output
of CN1 to the input of the external device and use the shield braid to
connect the CN1's analog ground to the external device's ground.
Analog Output Connection (Shield Cable)
▼
CAUTION
-
If the board and the target receive noise or the distance between the board and the signal source is too long,
data may not be input properly.
-
The maximum output current-carrying capacity of the analog output signal is ±5 mA. Check the
specifications of the target before connecting the board to it.
