4.1.6A/D Data Format

The A/D data read from the FIFO is in the twos complement format. As the A/D gain is 1, the A/D signal range is roughly +10V ~ -10V bi-polar. In PCI-9111HR, the whole 16 bits A/D data are available. The relationship between voltage and the A/D data value is shown in the following table:

Note: the decimal value of the A/D data is in the same sign with the bi-polar voltage. Therefore, the sign extension conversion is not necessary.

The A/D converted data of 12 bits PCI-9111DG is on the 12 MSBs of the A/D data. The 4 LSB of the 16 bits A/D data are the channel number and must be truncated by software. The relationship between voltage and the A/D converted data value is shown in the following table:

The formula between the A/D converted data and the voltage value is:

Voltage = AD_ data × 1 × 10

K gain

where gain is the value of the A/D gain control register. K=32768 for PCI-9111HR, and K=2048 for PCI-9111DG.
