The four new devices are PCI Express-compliant interface board (one lane) for measurement control and communication. These devices can expand input/output and communication function into computers contain PCl Express slot (up to 16 lanes). The four new boards are designed to enhance the compatibility with the current PCl boards, which is equivalent to PCI Express l/O interface specifications as well as the connector pin assignment to connect l/O signal. The same APl (Application Program Interface) as that of PCI board is available for PCl Express board, thus users can easily set up the transition to the new system without changing programs.
The basic specifications of each product are as follows:
AIO-163202F-PE
32 analog input channel at 16bit resolution; 2 analog output channel at 16bit resolution; 8 digital I/O; 2 channel 32bit binary; supports standard-size slot; compatible with the current PCI board ADA16-32/2(PCI)F and with the current CardBus PC card ADA16-32/2(CB)F, which are introduced as the CONTEC multi-function F series analog devices
CNT-3204MT-LPE
4 channel 32-bit binary counter; supports both standard-size and low profile-size slot; compatible with PCI board CNT32-4MT(LPCI) and CardBus card CNT32-4MT(CB)
GPIB-F-LPE, GPIB-FL-LPE
IEEE488.1/.2-compliant GPIB; supports both standard-size and low profile-size slot; contains Bus Analyzer function (GPIB-F-LPE); compatible with the current multi-function high speed F series PCI board, Compact PCI board and CardBus PC
*All the four new devices will be lead-Free and RoHS compliant products.
CONTEC policy on PCl Express bus
As a leading PC-based measurement control and communication application manufacturer, CONTEC believes PCl Express is the next-generation bus standard. CONTEC will continue to provide the extensive line up of PCl Express products taking advantages of PCl Express features.
Features
< AIO-163202F-PE >
Multi-function
AIO-163202F-PE includes analog input (16bit, 32ch), analog output (16bit, 2ch), eight digital inputs, eight digital outputs and counter functions (32bit binary 2ch), for computers with limited numbers of expansion slots to be used in configuring complicated systems.
Event controller for diverse sampling control
AIO-163202F-PE provides central management (via hardware) for start/stop/clock control of analog input/output operations. Easily combines event functions and external control signal inputs for high level synchronous control that is independent of controlling software. Individual operation of each function is also possible.
Bus master transfer and complex data input
Both analog input and output utilize bus master transfer (either individually or concurrently), allowing bulk data transfer between the host computer and the board with no additional load on the CPU. Simultaneous transfer is available for data using bus master transfer (analog and digital input, digital output and count data) if they are synchronized with the analog input clock signals.
Buffer memory for software independent background processing
Both analog input and output feature onboard buffer memory for use when bus master transfer is not used. The buffer memory can be used as FIFO or RING. This function also allows input/output in the background without depending on system operation status of either the host computer or the software.
Setup and adjustment performed via software
Setup and adjustment, such as those concerning the range of analog input and output is done via software, eliminating the need to change jumper settings. It can also recognize any adjustment information that is different from that set at the factory. This allows for optimum settings for individual applications.
Synchronous control function
AIO-163202F-PE includes a synchronous control function that is capable of synchronizing control of multiple boards (up to 16), enabling to start analog inputs simultaneously.
Event controller for diverse sampling control
AIO-163202F-PE provides central management (via hardware) for start/stop/clock control of analog input/output operations. Easily combines event functions and external control signal inputs for high level synchronous control that is independent of controlling software. Individual operation of each function is also possible.
Filtering for facilitation in the connection of external signals
External analog input/output, digital input/output and counter input/output are equipped with a digital filter for the prevention of chatter.
Suitable for both desktops and laptops
AIO-163202F-PE contains same functions as that of PCI-compliant board ADA16-32/2(PCI)F and CardBus-compliant ADA16-32/2(CB)F. The connector pin assignment to connect l/O signal is compatible with ADA16-32/2(PCI)F. Thus most of configured systems can be easily used in desktops and laptops include PCI/CardBus.
Supported software
CONTEC provides ML-DAQ library software for use with MATLAB and VI-DAQ, the VI library for use with National Instruments' LabVIEW. They can be downloaded from CONTEC website.
< GPIB-F-LPE, GPIB-FL-LPE >
IEEE-488.2-compliant
GPIB-F-LPE and GPIB-FL-LPE can control external devices that comply with IEEE-488.2.
1.5Mbyte/sec - Maximum transfer speed
These devices can communicate at a maximum transfer speed of 1.5Mbytes/sec.
Bus Master Transfer
Bus Master Transfer allows bulk data to be transferred between the computer and board with no additional load on the CPU.
2Kbyte FIFO for both transmission and reception
2Kbyte FIFO is provided for handling transmissions and receptions, furthering high-speed transmission of both small and large size data. High-speed transmission is also possible using interface message with FIFO.
GPIB bus analyzer (GPIB-F-LPE)
GPIB-F-LPE is capable of not only analyzing the signals that run along the GPIB bus but also of conducting a signal analysis while GPIB communications is in progress.
SPAS event (slave mode)
In addition to the conventional GPIB controller ( PD7210), event (SPAS) is also provided at the time of serial poll, offering a highly flexible system configuration.
High-precision timer
A high-precision application timer is built-in enabling precise time monitoring under Windows.
Reliable, long-term availability
These boards feature a high-speed GPIB controller (compatible with PD7210) developed by CONTEC assuring reliable long-term availability.
Diagnosis program
System configuration support is provided by a diagnosis program. This program can conduct hardware operation checks (interrupt / I/O access) and basic communication tests (between PC and external devices)
Other features
These boards are able to read total control line status as well as latch data. GPIB-FL-LPE is capable of reading data line status. Also these devices supports both standard-size and low profile-size slot.
< CNT-3204MT-LPE >
