1. Before Using the Product

About the Board

AD12-16(PCI)E, AD12-16U(PCI)E and AD16-16(PCI)E are PCI-compliant interface boards that

convert analog input signals to digital equivalents (performing analog-to-digital conversion).

< AD12-16(PCI)E > is the general-purpose type that can perform A-D conversion at a conversion speed

of 10µsec per channel and a resolution of 12-bit.

< AD12-16U(PCI)E > is the high-speed type that can perform A-D conversion at a conversion speed of

1µsec per channel and a resolution of 12-bit.

< AD16-16(PCI)E > is the high-precision type that can perform A-D conversion at a conversion speed

of 10µsec per channel and a resolution of 16-bit.

Using the bundled driver library [API-PAC(W32)], you can create Windows application software for

this board in your favorite programming language supporting Win32 API functions, such as Visual

Basic or Visual C/C++.

Features

Sixteen single-ended channels and eight differential channels (Analog input function)

Either board allows the single-ended or differential input mode to be selected with on-board jumpers.

The order of channels subject to signal conversion can be preset in the dedicated register. Using an

optional unit, the board can increase the maximum number of input channels (up to 32 channels) and

perform simultaneous sampling.

On-board buffer memory (Analog input function)

The board has buffer memory available as a FIFO or ring buffer to hold 256 kilobytes of data. This

enables sampling to be executed in the background independently of the processing power of the PC.

Assorted sampling control functions (Analog input function)

The board can control the starting and stopping of sampling not only with software commands but also

by detecting analog signal strength or TTL-level signals. The board offers a choice of sampling clocks

selectable to determine the sampling speed: the internal sampling clock using the on-board clock

generator and the external sampling clock using the digital signal input from an external device.

Analog output function

The board has one channel of analog output function.

Digital input/output function

The board has four digital input and four digital output pins for TTL-level signals, allowing an external

device to be monitored and controlled.

Abundant optional units

Optional units are available for enhancements.

Using optional units enhances board functions and facilitates connections.

For more details on the option, please refer to this chapter “Cable & Connector” or

“Accessories (Option)”.

Support Software

You should use CONTEC support software according to your purpose and development environment.

Driver Library API-PAC(W32) (Bundled)

API-PAC(W32) is the library software that provides the commands for CONTEC hardware products in the form of

Windows standard Win32 API functions (DLL). It makes it easy to create high-speed application software taking

advantage of the CONTEC hardware using various programming languages that support Win32 API functions, such as

Visual Basic and Visual C/C++.

It can also be used by the installed diagnosis program to check hardware operations.

CONTEC provides download services to supply the updated drivers and differential files.

For details, read Help on the bundled CD-ROM or visit the CONTEC’s Web site.

< Operating environment >

OS Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, etc..

Adaptation language Visual C/C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, Builder, etc..

Others Each piece of library software requires 50 megabytes of free hard disk space.

Linux version of analog I/O driver API-AIO(LNX) (Supplied: Stored on the API-PAC(W32)

CD-ROM)

This driver is used to control CONTEC analog I/O boards (PC Cards) from within Linux.

You can control CONTEC I/O boards easily using the shared library used by gcc and Kylix, the device driver (module)

for each kernel version, and the board (PC Card) configuration program (config).

CONTEC provides download services to supply the updated drivers and differential files.

For details, read Help on the bundled CD-ROM or visit the CONTEC’s Web site.

< Operating environment >

OS RedHatLinux, TurboLinux, etc..

(For details on supported distributions, refer to Help available after installation.)

Adaptation language gcc, Kylix, etc..

Others Requires 3 megabytes of free hard disk space.

Base package of ActiveX components for measurement system development

ACX-PAC(W32)BP (Option)

This is a set of useful Windows development tools for measurement systems and consists of a software component

library with ready-to-use samples which you can combine for easy programming.

The package contains components for controlling CONTEC I/O boards (PC Cards). Features include interface

control for analog I/O, digital I/O, GPIB communications, and counter inputs, as well as X-Y plotting and file storage

support.

Check the CONTEC’s Web site for more information on this soft.

Advanced package of ActiveX components for measurement system development

ACX-PAC(W32)AP (Option)

Complements the ACX-PAC(W32)BP functions with additional components including graphics (plotting, switches,

and lamps, etc.) and mathematical and analysis tools.

Check the CONTEC’s Web site for more information on this soft.
