Analog Output Features
DAS-1800ST-DA Series and DAS-1802HR-DA boards contain an analog
output section. The following sections discuss the features of the analog
output sections for each of these board types.
DAS-1800ST-DA Series Boards
The analog output section of a DAS-1800ST-DA Series board contains
four 12-bit DACs. Each DAC has a fixed voltage range of ±10V and
powers up to 0V at reset. Data coding is 2’s complement. The four DACs
have a capacitive load drive up to 100µF and an output current drive of up
to ±5mA. You can use interrupts generated by the onboard pacer clock to
pace the analog output when the analog inputs are either disabled or timed
by an external pacer clock. You can also write single values to the DACs.
The analog output section of DAS-1800ST-DA Series boards does not
support DMA operations.
DAS-1802HR-DA Boards
The analog output section of a DAS-1802HR-DA board contains two
16-bit DACs. Each DAC has a fixed voltage range of ±10V and powers up
to 0V at reset. Data coding is 2’s complement. The two DACs have a
capacitive load drive up to 100µF and an output current drive of up to
±5mA (short-circuit current is about 25mA). You can use interrupts
generated by the onboard pacer clock to pace the analog output when the
analog inputs are either disabled or timed by an external pacer clock. You
can also write single values to the DACs. The analog output section of
DAS-1802HR-DA boards does not support DMA operations.
Digital I/O Features
DAS-1800ST/HR Series boards contain four digital inputs (DI 0 to DI 3)
and four digital outputs (DO 0 to DO 3). Logic 1 on an I/O line indicates
that the input/output is high (greater than 2.0V); logic 0 on an I/O line
indicates that the input/output is low (less than 0.8V). The digital inputs
are compatible with TTL-level signals. These inputs are provided with
