Register-level programming
You should use the Universal Library to control your board. Only experienced programmers should perform
register-level programming.
If you need to program at the register level in your application, refer to the Register Map for the PCI-DAS1001
Series (available at www.mccdaq.com/registermaps/RegMapSTC1000.pdf).

Chapter 1

Introducing the PCI-DAS1001
Overview: PCI-DAS1001 features
This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-DAS1001. This board is a multifunction analog and digital
I/O board designed for the PCI bus.
The PCI-DAS1001 provides either 16 single-ended or eight differential analog inputs. Input ranges aresoftware-selectable as either bipolar or unipolar.
Analog input ranges for the PCI-DAS1001 board are:

Bipolar: ±10 V, ±1.0 V, ±0.1 V, ±0.01 V
Unipolar: 0 to 10 V, 0 to 1.0 V, 0 to 0.1V, 0 to 0.01 V

The PCI-DAS1001 provides a 150 kHz sample rate.
The PCI-DAS1001 also provides two channels of 12-bit analog output. Analog output ranges are ±10 V and ±5
V (bipolar) and 0-10 V, 0-5 V (unipolar).
The PCI-DAS1001 offers 24-bits of parallel, digital I/O (two 8-bit ports and two 4-bit ports). You can configure
each port independently as input or output.
This board has an 82C54 counter chip which has three user-accessible 16-bit counters. Clock, gate, and output
signals from two of three counters are available on a 100-pin connector. The third counter is used internally.
The PCI-DAS1001 is fully plug-and-play. All addresses and interrupt channels are set with software.

Software features
For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your PCI-DAS1001, refer tothe Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device. The Quick Start Guide is also available in PDF at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf.
Check www.mccdaq.com/download.htm for the latest software version or versions of the software supported
under less commonly used operating systems.

Installing the PCI-DAS1001

Unpacking the PCI-DAS1001
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the PCI-DAS1001 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or bysimply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
If any components are missing or damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately byphone, fax, or e-mail:

Phone: 508-946-5100 and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support.
Fax: 508-946-9500 to the attention of Tech Support
Email: techsupport@mccdaq.com

Installing the software
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the Measurement Computing Data
Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-SoftwareQuick-Start.pdf.

Installing the hardware
The PCI-DAS1001 board is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set on the board.
Configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS. To install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install the
MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installingthe software.
1.

Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available PCI slot.

2.

Close your computer and turn it on.
If you are using an operating system with support for plug-and-play (such as Windows 2000 or Windows
XP), a dialog box pops up as the system loads indicating that new hardware has been detected. If theinformation file for this board is not already loaded onto your PC, you will be prompted for the disk
containing this file. The MCC DAQ software contains this file. If required, insert the Measurement
Computing Data Acquisition Software CD and click OK.

3.

To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility you installed in the previous
section. Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your board www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQSoftware-Quick-Start.pdf for information on how to initially set up and load InstaCal.

Allow your computer to warm up for at least 15 minutes before acquiring data with this board. The high speed
components used on the board generates heat, and it takes this amount of time for a board to reach steady state
if it has been powered off for a significant amount of time.

Configuring the hardware
All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS1001 are software controlled. You can select some of theconfiguration options using InstaCal, such as the analog input configuration (16 single-ended or eight
differential channels), and the source for the two independent counters. Once selected, any program that uses
the Universal Library will initialize the hardware according to these selections.
Following is an overview of the available hardware configuration options for this board. There is additional
general information regarding analog signal connection and configuration in the Guide to Signal Connections(available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/signals/signals.pdf).

PCI-DAS1001 User's Manual

Installing the PCI-DAS1001

Differential input mode
When all channels are configured for differential input mode, eight analog input channels are available. In thismode, the input signal is measured with respect to the low input. The input signal is delivered through threewires:
The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CH# IN HI.
The wire carrying the reference signal connects to CH# IN LO.
The third wire, typically a system ground, connects to LLGND.

Single-ended input mode
When all channels are configured for single-ended input mode, 16 analog input channels are available. In thismode, the input signal is referenced to the board's signal ground (LLGND). The input signal is delivered
through two wires:

The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CH# IN HI.
The second wire connects to LLGND.

Calibrating the Board
Introduction
Calibrate the board using the InstaCal utility after the board has fully warmed up. The recommended warm-up
time is 15 minutes. For best results, calibrate the board immediately before making critical measurements. The
high resolution analog components on the board are sensitive to temperature. Pre-measurement calibration
ensures that your board is operating at optimum calibration values.

Calibration theory
PCI-DAS1001 series boards are shipped fully calibrated from the factory with calibration coefficients stored in
nvRAM. When using Universal Library at run time, these calibration factors are loaded into system memory
and are automatically retrieved each time a different DAC/ADC range is specified.
The analog input circuits are calibrated for both offset and gain (Figure 3).
Offset calibration for the analog input is performed directly on the input amplifier (PGIA) with coarse andfine trim DACs acting on the amplifier.
For input gain calibration, a precision calibration reference is used with coarse and fine trim DACs acting
on the ADC.

The analog outputs are calibrated for both offset and gain (Figure 4). This circuit is duplicated for both DAC0
and DAC1.

Offset adjustments are made in the output buffer section. The tuning range of this adjustment allows for
max DAC and output buffer offsets.
Gain calibration is performed via DAC reference adjustments.
