The PCI-1714 and PCI-1714UL are simultaneous 4-channel analog input cards with high sampling rates. They are advanced-performance data acquisition cards based on 32-bit PCI bus architecture. The maximum sampling rate of PCI-1714 is up to 30 MS/s, and 10 MS/s for PCI1714UL. 1.1 Features PCI-1714 and PCI-1714L offer the following main features: • 32-bit PCI bus Mastering DMA data transfer • Four A/D converters for simultaneous sampling • 12-bit A/D converter with up to 30 MS/s for PCI-1714, and 10 MS/s for PCI-1714UL • 4 single-ended analog input channels • Programmable gain for each input channel • On board FIFO memory • Multiple A/D triggering modes • Programmable pacer/counter • Auto calibration • BoardID switch (PCI-1714UL Only) • Universal PCI interface, accepts both 3.3 and 5 V (PCI-1714UL Only) Some of the features are described in details from the next page. PCI-1714 & 1714UL User Manual 2 1.1.1 32-bit PCI bus Mastering DMA Data Transfer PCI-1714 cards support PCI bus mastering DMA for high-speed data transfers. By setting aside a block of memory in the PC, the cards perform bus-mastering data transfers without CPU intervention, freeing the CPU to perform other more urgent tasks such as data analysis and graphic manipulation. The function allows users to run all I/O functions simultaneously at full speed without losing data. 1.1.2 Four A/D Converters for Simultaneous Sampling PCI-1714 cards are capable of simultaneous sampling with their 4 identical circuits and a dedicated A/D converter for each analog input channel. When the time relationship between inputs is important, this feature lets you sample simultaneously. 1.1.3 Supports S/W, Internal & External Pacer Triggering PCI-1714 cards support three kinds of trigger modes for A/D conversion: software triggering, internal pacer triggering and external pacer triggering. The software trigger can acquire a sample whenever needed, while the internal pacer saves CPU resources by triggering the sampling at a preprogrammed frequency. An external pacer can also be used for triggering by externally connected equipment. 1.1.4 On-board FIFO Memory There is 32k of FIFO sample memory on PCI-1714, and 8k of FIFO sample memory on PCI-1714UL. This is an important feature for faster data transfers and more predictable performance under Windows systems. 1.1.5 Auto Calibration PCI-1714 cards feature software auto calibration. There is no variable resister trimming required. This is convenient for user calibration. Note: For detailed specifications of the PCI-1714 cards, please refer to Appendix A, Specifications. 3 Chapter 1 1.2 Applications The following are some of the possible applications of PCI-1714 cards: • Testing Instruments • Ultrasound Imaging • Gamma Camera Imaging • CCD Camera Imaging • Video Digitizing 1.3 Installation Guide Before you install your PCI-1714 or PCI-1714UL card, please make sure you have the following necessary components: • PCI-1714 or PCI-1714UL DA&C card • PCI-1714 & 1714UL User Manual • Driver software Advantech DLL drivers (included in the companion CD-ROM) • Wiring cables PCL-10901-1, PCL-1010B-1 (optional) • Wiring board ADAM-3909 (optional) • Computer Personal computer or workstation with a PCI-bus slot (running Windows 98, 2000 or XP Some optional components are also available for enhanced operation: • Application software ActiveDAQ or other third-party software packages After you get the necessary components and maybe some of the accessories for enhanced operation of your Multifunction card, you can then begin the installation procedures.

The sampling rate can be up to 30 MS/s for PCI-1714 and 10 MS/s for PCI-1714UL. PCI-1714 cards also provide various gain levels that are programmable on each channel. Table 4-1 lists the effective ranges supported by the PCI-1714 cards using these gains. Table 4.1: Gains and Analog Input Range Gain Code 1 2 5 10 Input Range ±5 ± 2.5 ±1 ±0.5 For each channel, choose the gain level that provides the most optimal range that can accommodate the signal range you have to measure. For detailed information, please refer to Appendix C.4, AI Range Control. 4.2 Analog Input Acquisition Modes PCI-1714 cards can acquire data in single value, pacer, post-trigger, delay-trigger, about-trigger and pre-trigger acquisition modes. These analog input acquisition modes are described in more details below. 4.2.1 Single Value Acquisition Mode The single value acquisition mode is the simplest way to acquire data. Once the software issues a trigger command, the A/D converter will convert one data, and return it immediately. You can check the A/D FIFO status (Read BASE+10, 12) to make sure if the data is ready to be received. For detailed information, please refer to Appendix C.8 FIFO Control, Appendix C.9 FIFO Status, and Appendix C.10 FIFO for Programmable Flag. PCI-1714 & 1714UL User Manual 28 4.2.2 Pacer Acquisition Mode Use pacer acquisition mode to acquire data if you want to accurately control the time interval between conversions of individual channels in a scan. A/D conversion clock comes from A/D counter or external clock source on connector. A/D conversion starts when the first clock signal comes in, and will not stop if the clock is still continuously sending into it. Conversion data is put into the A/D FIFO. For high-speed data acquisition, you have to use the DMA data transfer for analog input to prevent data loss. 4.2.3 Post-Trigger Acquisition Mode Post-trigger allows you to acquire data based on a trigger event. Posttrigger acquisition starts when the PCI-1714 cards detect the trigger event and stop when the preset number of post-trigger samples has been acquired or when you stop the operation. This trigger mode must work with the DMA data transfer mode enabled. Use post-trigger acquisition mode when you want to acquire data when a post-trigger event occurs. Please specify the following parameters after Post-Trigger Acquisition Mode has been set. • The A/D sample clock source and sampling rate • The trigger source • The acquired sample number N Figure 4.1: Post-Trigger Acquisition Mode 29 Chapter 4 4.2.4 Delay Trigger Acquisition Mode In delay trigger mode, data acquisition will be activated after a preset delay number of sample has been taken after the trigger event. The delay number of sample ranges from 2 to 65535 as defined in DMA counter. Delay-trigger acquisition starts when the PCI-1714 cards detect the trigger event and stop when the specified number of A/D samples has been acquired or when you stop the operation. This triggering mode must work with the DMA data transfer mode enabled. Please specify the following parameters after the Delay-Trigger Acquisition Mode has been set. • The sample clock source and sampling rate • The trigger source • The acquired sample number N • The sample number M delays after the delay-trigger event happened Figure 4.2: Delay-Trigger Acquisition Mode PCI-1714 & 1714UL User Manual 30 4.2.5 About Trigger Acquisition Mode Use about-trigger acquisition mode when you want to acquire data both before and after a specific trigger event occurs. This operation is equivalent to doing both a pre-trigger and a post-trigger acquisition. When using software, please specify the following parameters after About-Trigger Acquisition Mode has been set. • The sample clock source and sample rate • The trigger source • The total acquired sample number N • The specific sample number M after the trigger event. The range of preset sample number is from 2 to 65536 samples. In about-trigger mode, users must first designate the size of the allocated memory and the amount of samples to be snatched after the trigger event happens. The about-trigger acquisition starts when the first clock signal comes in. Once a trigger event happens, the on-going data acquisition will continue until the designated amount of samples have been reached. When the PCI-1714 cards detect the selected about trigger event, the cards keeps acquiring the preset number of samples, and keep the total number of samples on the FIFO. Figure 4.3: About-Trigger Acquisition Mode 31 Chapter 4 4.2.6 Pre-Trigger Acquisition Mode Pre-Trigger mode is a particular application of about-trigger mode. Use pre-trigger acquisition mode when you want to acquire data before a specific trigger event occurs. Pre-trigger acquisition starts when you start the operation and stops when the trigger event happens. Then the specific number of samples will be reversed in the FIFO before the pre-trigger event occurred. Please specify the following parameters, after Pre-trigger Acquisition Mode: has been set. • The sample clock source and sample rate • The trigger source • Assume the total acquired sample number is N, then set the total sample number to be N+2. Figure 4.4: Pre-Trigger Acquisition Mode 4.3 A/D Sample Clock Sources The PCI-1714 cards can adopt both internal and external clock sources for pacer, post-trigger, delay-trigger, about-trigger acquisition modes: • Internal A/D sample clock with 8-bit divider • External A/D sample clock that is connected to either the EXT-CLK0 (the differential clock source) or the EXT_CLK1 (the single ended clock source) on the ADAM-3909 screw terminal board. The internal and both external A/D sample clocks are described in more details in the next pages. PCI-1714 & 1714UL User Manual 32 4.3.1 Internal A/D Sample Clock The internal A/D sample clock uses a 60 MHz time base. (20 MHz time base for PCI-1714UL) Conversions start on the rising edge of the counter output. You can use software to specify the clock source as internal and the sampling frequency to pace the operation. The minimum frequency is 234375 S/s, the maximum frequency is 30 MS/s. (10 MS/s for PCI1714UL). According to the sampling theory (Nyquist Theorem), you must specify a frequency that is at least twice as high as the input’s highest frequency component to achieve valid sampling. For example, to accurately sample a 300 kHz signal, you have to specify sampling frequency of at least 600 kHz. This consideration can avoid an error condition often know as aliasing, in which high frequency input components appear erroneously as lower frequencies when sampling. 4.3.2 External A/D Sample Clock 0 The external sample clock 0 is a sine wave signal source which is converted to a TTL signal inside PCI-1714 cards. This signal is AC coupled. The input impedance of the external clock 0 is 50 ohms and the input level is 5 volts peak-to-peak. Please note that the frequency of the external clock is the system clock. The maximum A/D clock frequency is half of the system clock. 4.3.3 External A/D Sample Clock 1 The external sample clock 1 is a digital clock. The input impedance is 50 ohms and the input level should be 2V~5V into the 50-ohm load. This signal is DC coupled. 33 Chapter 4 Figure 4.5: PCI-1714 Sample Clock Sources 4.4 Trigger Sources PCI-1714 cards support the following trigger sources for post-, delay-, about- and pre-trigger acquisition modes: • Software trigger • External digital (TTL) trigger • Analog threshold trigger. You can define the type of trigger source as rising-edge or falling-edge. These following sections describe these trigger sources in more detail. 4.4.1 Software Trigger A software trigger event occurs when you start the analog input operation (the computer issues a write to the board to begin acquisitions). When you write the value to analog input trigger flag TRGF on Write BASE+Eh to produce either a rising-edge or falling-edge trigger, depending upon the trigger source type you choose. This edge will then act as an A/D trigger event. For detailed information, please refer to Appendix C.7 Trigger Mode and Source. 4.4.2 External Digital (TTL) Trigger For analog input operations, an external digital trigger event occurs when PCI-1714 cards detect either a rising or falling edge on the External A/D TTL trigger input signal from screw terminal EXT_TRIG on the ADAM3909 screw terminal board. The trigger signal is TTL-compatible. PCI-1714 & 1714UL User Manual 34 4.4.3 Analog Threshold Trigger For analog input operations, an analog trigger event occurs when PCI1714 cards detect a transition from above a threshold level to below a threshold level (falling edge), or a transition from below a threshold level to above a threshold level (rising edge). You should connect the analog signals from the external device to one of the four BNC source connectors. Which one of the four sources is selected as the trigger source can be defined or identified by writing to or reading from the flags from TS0 to TS2 of Write/Read BASE+Eh. On the PCI-1714 cards, the analog trigger threshold voltage level is set using a dedicated 8-bit DAC; you can write or read the flags from AT0 to AT7 on Write/Read BASE+24h to define or identify the analog trigger threshold voltage level. Please also refer to the Appendix C.14 Analog Trigger Threshold Voltage for more details. 35 Chapter 4 4.5 Analog Input Data Format Table 4.2: Analog Input Data Format A/D Code Mapping Voltage Hex.

Sections include: • Calibration Procedure Chapter 5 Calibration The PCI-1714 cards have been well calibrated at the factory for initial use. You are not required to calibrate the PCI-1714 cards in normal conditions. However, if calibration is required, the procedure shown in the next pages will show how it is done. To perform an effective calibration, prepare a standard 4-1/2 digits resolution, stable and low-noise DC voltage source. It is important as the accuracy of the device will depend on the accuracy of the DC source. 5.1 Calibration Procedure Step 1: Click the Setup button on the Advantech Device Manager window (Fig.5-1) to launch the PCI-1714 Device Setting window (Fig.5-2).

We advise users to program the PCI-1714 using the 32-bit DLL driver provided by Advantech to avoid the complexity of low-level programming by register. The most important consideration in programming the PCI-1714 cards at register level is to understand the function of the cards’ registers. The information in the following sections is provided only for users who would like to do their own low-level programming. C.2 Register Format The register format is the basis to control the PCI-1714 cards. There are some rules for programmer’s reference: • All registers are 32-bit format. Please use the DWORD command in your own software. • Some registers are used only for write or read. • Some registers can support write and read back, they usually use the same name. • Some registers could write any value to complete a command. • In general, read only register is called status register, write only register is called control register. • Some registers are very similar, usually denote as a group. For example, A4, A3, A2, A1, A0 usually denote as A4: A0. • In this document, 1Fh means hexadecimal number 1F. PCI-1714 & 1714UL User Manual 52 Table C-1 shows the function of each register of the PCI-1714 cards or driver and their address relative to the cards’ base address.

It allows user to define the indicate flag in any depth. There are two flags could be defined: FIFO Almost Empty flag and FIFO Almost Full flag. To define these flags must follow the procedure: First write is the Almost Empty flag offset count from the empty. Second write is the Almost Full flag offset count from the full. Read procedure is the same as write. Once set the offset, the value will keep until FIFO reset.
