AIM-16 Manual
Findbase.exe
DOS utility to determine an available base address for ISA bus , non-Plug-n-Play cards. Run this program once, before the hardware is installed in the computer, to determine an available address to give the card. Once the address has been determined, run the setup program provided with the hardware to see instructions on setting the address switch and various option selections.
Poly.exe
A generic utility to convert a table of data into an nth order polynomial. Useful for calculating linearization polynomial coefficients for thermocouples and other non-linear sensors.
Risc.bat
A batch file demonstrating the command line parameters of RISCTerm.exe.
RISCTerm.exe
A dumb-terminal type communication program designed for RS422/485 operation. Used primarily with Remote Data Acquisition Pods and our RS422/485 serial communication product line. Can be used to say hello to an installed modem. RISCTerm stands for Really Incredibly Simple Communications TERMinal.
Installation of the AIM-16
The AIM-16 is installed external to the host computer. It provides screw-terminal termination for input analog wiring, and multiplexing and preamplification for input signals. Multiplexed and amplified signals are then passed from the AIM-16 to an analog-to-digital converter via a 37-conductor ribbon cable.
The screw-terminal blocks used to connect analog input wires can be removed from the card to facilitate wire installation. After the wiring has been installed, the terminal blocks can then be plugged back onto the card. Inputs to the AIM-16 are labelled IN0 through IN15. Note that, for thermocouple temperature measurements, IN0 may be used as the input channel for the on-board reference junction sensor, so that reference junction compensation may be accomplished
Note
No input may be connected to IN0 when the TMP jumpers are installed.
