Option Extra I/O

 

 

Programming example

The following example shows how to use either the digital I/O#s and the analog outputs.

// ----- output 8 bit on D7 to D0 and read 8 bit on D15 to D8 -----

SpcSetParam (hDrv, SPC_XIO_DIRECTION, XD_CH0_OUTPUT XD_CH1_INPUT); // set directions of digital I/O transfer

SpcSetParam (hDrv, SPC_XIO_DIGITALIO, 0x00005A);

// write

data

to D7-D0

SpcGetParam (hDrv, SPC_XIO_DIGITALIO, &lData);

// read data and write values to lData

// ----- write some values to the analog channels. -----

// -2000

mV =

-2.0

V

SpcSetParam (hDrv, SPC_XIO_ANALOGOUT0,

-2000);

SpcSetParam (hDrv, SPC_XIO_ANALOGOUT1,

0);

//

0

mV =

0.0

V

SpcSetParam (hDrv, SPC_XIO_ANALOGOUT2,

+3500);

//

3500

mV =

3.5

V

SpcSetParam (hDrv, SPC_XIO_ANALOGOUT3, +10000);

// 10000

mV =

10.0

V

SpcSetParam (hDrv, SPC_XIO_WRITEDACS, 1);

// Write
