4. Analog input wiring method

Single ended input: signal negative terminal connected to AIGND; Poor anti-interference ability, try to use as little as possible.

Differential input (recommended)

Ground source: directly connected to CHn+and CHn -, differential suppression of common mode noise.

Floating ground source (thermocouple, isolated output): For differential wiring, a bias resistor must be added to provide a DC return path, otherwise input drift and abnormal readings will occur.

Detailed explanation of working principle

4.1 A/D Analog Input Acquisition

data format

DAQ-2010: 14 bit complement AD+2 bit SDI synchronous digital bits, 16 bit FIFO word. To read analog signals, the minimum 2 bits of SDI need to be masked.

2005/2006/2016: Pure 16 bit binary encoding without SDI bits.

Two collection startup methods

Software Polling: Single conversion of software commands, CPU reads status; Suitable for low speed, sampling time is determined by software, and timing accuracy is poor.

Programmable scan acquisition (recommended for high speed)

SI_comounter (24 bits): scan interval (sampling interval); PSC_comounter: Number of scanned samples after triggering; Number of pre triggered samples for the M-counter; Delay_counter Delay Count.

Scan=synchronous sampling of 4 channels at the same time; Scan interval=SI_comounter/TIMEBASE clock.

Data transfer: PIO programming IO, or PCI bus master Scatter/Gather DMA. DMA does not require large contiguous physical memory, and the operating system constructs a linked list of fragmented memory for high-speed transfer, reducing CPU usage.

Four triggering modes timing sequence

Pre trigger: Sample continuously first and stop when triggered; Save M scanning points before triggering; M-enable can block premature triggering and ensure obtaining M sets of valid data.

Middle trigger: Save M scans before triggering+N scans after triggering; Record data before and after triggering.

Post trigger: Collect N scans only after the trigger is triggered.

Delay trigger: When the trigger arrives, wait for the Delay_counter count to complete before starting the collection.

Support for Re trigger: multiple triggering events, with each trigger executing one collection.

4.2 D/A Analog Output

Two output modes, two channels can be independently configured with different modes.

Software Update Mode: The software directly writes to the DAC register, outputs a fixed level, and is suitable for static voltage output.

Timed Waveform Generation: Hardware counters precisely control the update rate and generate finite/infinite repetitive waveforms.

UI_comounter: DA update interval; UC_comounter single waveform update point count; IC_comounter iteration times; DA-DLY1_counter triggers the delay from the start of the waveform; The interval between two waveform iterations is DA-DLY2-Counter.

Trigger modes: post trigger, delayed trigger, and re trigger; Supports finite iteration and infinite iteration waveforms.

Three stop modes:

Stop - I: Immediately terminate output upon receiving a stop command;

Stop II: Stop after completing the current complete waveform;

Stop III: Stop after completing an integer multiple of the set number of iterations.

4.3 General Counter GPTC

8 working modes: Gate controlled event counting, single cycle measurement, single pulse width measurement, gate controlled single pulse generation, trigger single pulse, re trigger single pulse, trigger continuous pulse, gate controlled continuous pulse; Support software to read real-time count values without interrupting the counting process.

4.4 Trigger System

Software trigger: The software function call directly starts the collection and output without external signals.

External simulation trigger: External pin EXTATRIG or any one of the four AI channels can be selected as the trigger source; 5 criteria (below threshold, above threshold, within interval, high latency, low latency).

External digital trigger: EXTDTRIG is dedicated to AI; EXTWFTRG is dedicated to AO; selectable rising/falling edge, TTL level, minimum pulse width 20ns.

SSI trigger: from the SSI synchronization bus, to achieve multi card synchronization trigger.

4.5 Controllable timing signal

AFI auxiliary function input: AFI0 can replace ADCONV/SCAN.START; AFI1 replaces DAWR, and external hardware directly controls the conversion of the board.

AI_Trig_oUT, AO_Trig_oUT: The internal trigger signal of the board is output to the external circuit.

SSI synchronization signal: The main card outputs timing and the slave card receives it, achieving shared clock, triggering, and pulse conversion among multiple cards.

Loading calibration constants: Read the factory calibration parameters stored on the board.

Auto calibration: The onboard 5.000V high-precision reference source performs self calibration to correct misalignment and gain errors; It is recommended to preheat the equipment for 15 minutes before calibration.

Saving Calibration Constants: Save new calibration coefficients.
