Definition of Signal Wiring and Analog Input Wiring Scheme

4.2 Two wiring methods for analog input
1. Single ended input: All negative terminals of the channels are uniformly connected to AIGND, with simple wiring but poor anti-interference, only for easy measurement and use;
2. Differential input (recommended): Suppress common mode noise, divided into two types of signal sources:
-Grounding reference source: direct CHn+signal connection, CHn – signal grounding;
-Floating signal source (thermocouple, isolated output): A bias resistor needs to be added to provide a return path to avoid input floating drift.
Working Principle (Core Function Timing, Mode, Transmission)
4.1 A/D modulus acquisition principle
1. Data encoding format
-2010 (14 bits): Supplement format, storing SDI synchronized digits in the lower 2 bits of 16 bit data;
-2005/2006/2016 (16 bit): Direct binary encoding, divided into single/bipolar code value comparison table.
2. Two collection modes
-Software polling: Single trigger conversion, software reading, sampling timing controlled by the program, unstable rate;
-Programmable scanning acquisition (high-precision recommendation): Set the scanning interval for the SI counter and the total number of samples after triggering the PSC counter; 40MHz internal time base calculation sampling period, synchronous sampling of 4 channels simultaneously, scanning interval=sampling interval.
3. Four major triggering acquisition timing sequences
-Pre trigger: Save M sets of scan data before triggering; M \ _denable can forcibly fill M sets of data before responding to trigger;
-Post trigger: Only collect PSC group data after triggering; Support re triggering, multiple triggers for segmented storage;
-Intermediate trigger: Simultaneously save M sets of data before triggering and N sets of data after triggering;
-Delay trigger: After triggering, wait for the Delay \ _comounter count to complete before starting the collection.
4. DMA distributed/aggregated transmission
PCI bus controls DMA without the need for CPU to transfer data; Support non contiguous memory linked lists (scatter/path) with no upper limit for single transfer; Circular linked list can achieve multi buffer continuous acquisition and reduce CPU load.
4.2 Principle of D/A Digital Analog Output
1. The reference source can be selected as internal 10V or external AOEXTREF, with output voltage=digital code x reference voltage, supporting amplitude modulation (external AC reference); Provide a comparison table of single/bipolar code values.
2. Output mode:
-Software instant update: Single output fixed voltage, suitable for static level;
-Timing waveform generation: UI counter output update interval, UC single waveform point count, IC iteration count, DLY1 trigger delay, DLY2 waveform interval; Supports limited/infinite waveforms and re triggering.
3. Three shutdown modes: immediate stop, complete current waveform stop, complete integer round iteration and then stop.
4.3 Digital IO
24 channels of 82C55A general-purpose GPIO, with independent input and output configuration for high and low ports of 4 bits; 2010 unique SDI synchronous digital input, synchronized with analog sampling for locking.

2. External simulation trigger: EXTATRIG or AI channel signal, 5 threshold judgments;
3. External digital trigger: EXTDTRIG (A/D), EXTWFTRG (D/A), with selectable rising/falling edges;
4. SSI bus trigger: Multi card synchronous shared clock and trigger signal.
4.6 User controllable timing signals and multi card synchronization
1. Classification of timing signals: internal timing of the board (time base, AD conversion, scan start, DA update, etc.), AFI external auxiliary input, AI/AO trigger output, SSI synchronization bus;
2. AFI multifunctional input: AFI0 replaces external ADCONV/SCAN \ _stART, AFI1 replaces external DAWR;
3. SSI master-slave synchronization: Single signal, one master, multiple slaves, clock, trigger, and conversion signals are synchronized across cards to achieve 4 × N channel synchronous acquisition; The PXI model reuses the backplane trigger bus without the need for wiring.
Calibration Function (Ensuring Acquisition/Output Accuracy)
1. Calibration constant storage: The factory calibration parameters are fixed in the onboard EEPROM and automatically loaded into TrimDAC when powered on; EEPROM distinguishes between factory default area and user-defined storage area, and can store multiple sets of calibration parameters.
2. Automatic calibration of Auto library
-No external standard source required, relying on onboard 5V high-precision reference source (temperature drift ± 2ppm/℃);
-Pre requirements: Preheat the board for 15 minutes and remove external wiring; Automatically correct zero offset and gain error; After calibration, the offset error is ≤ ± 1mV, and the gain error is significantly reduced.
3. Save calibration parameters: After automatic calibration is completed, new parameters can be stored in the EEPROM user partition, with calibration time and temperature records, and can be switched and called in multiple environments.
