Introducing the PCI-DAS1200/JR
Overview: PCI-DAS1200/JR features
This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-DAS1200/JR board. The PCI-DAS1200/JR board is a
multifunction measurement and control board designed for the PCI bus.
The PCI-DAS1200/JR provides eight differential or 16 single-ended 12-bit analog inputs, with sample rates of
up to 330 kHz. Input ranges are either bipolar or unipolar. Bipolar input ranges are ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, and
±1.25V. Unipolar input ranges are 0 to 10V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 2.5V, and 0 to 1.25V. All input ranges are software-
selectable.
The PCI-DAS1200/JR has 24-bits of parallel, digital I/O as two 8-bit ports and two 4-bit ports. Each port can be
configured independently as input or output.
The PCI-DAS1200/JR board contains an 82C54 counter chip, which consists of three 16-bit counters. Clock,
gate, and output signals from two of the three counters are available on a 100-pin I/O connector. The third
counter is used internally.
