Pacer Trigger Source

The counter 1 and counter 2 are cascaded together to generate the timer pacer trigger of A/D conversion. The frequency of the pacer trigger is software controllable. The maximum pacer signal rate is 2MHz/4=500K which excess the maximum A/D conversion rate of the PCI-9112. The minimum signal rate is 2MHz/65536/65536, which is a very slow frequency that user may never use it.

General Purpose Timer/ Counter

The counter 0 is free for users' applications. The clock source, gate control signal and the output signal is send to the connector CN3. The general purpose timer / counter can be used as event counter, or used for measuring frequency, or others functions.

I/O Address

The 8254 in the PCI-9112 occupies 4 I/O address as shown below.

BASE + 0

LSB OR MSB OF COUNTER 0

BASE + 1

LSB OR MSB OF COUNTER 1

BASE + 2

LSB OR MSB OF COUNTER 2

BASE + 3

CONTROL BYTE

The programming of 8254 is control by the registers BASE+0 to BASE+3. The functionality of each register is specified this section. For more detailed information, please refer handbook of 8254 chip.
