Analog Output Ranges

The PCI-1712 provides two 12-bit analog output channels, both of which can be configured to be applicable within 0 ~ 5 V, 0 ~ 10 V,

±5 V, ± 10 V output voltage range. On the other hand, users can use external reference voltage of 0 ~ x V or ± x V output voltage range, where the value of x is from -10 to +10. Users can configure the output range during driver installation or in software programming.

Analog Output Operation Modes

The PCI-1712 can output data in single value, continuous output operation mode. These analog output operation modes are described in more detail in the following sections:

qSingle Value Operation Mode

The single value conversion mode is the simplest way for analog output operation. Users can define each channel as single output conversion mode. Then users just need to use software to write output data to specific I/O register. The analog output channels will output the corresponding voltage immediately. In the single value operation mode, users need not set any clock source and trigger source, but only output voltage range.

qContinuous Output Operation Mode

In continuous output operation mode, users can accurately control the update rate (up to 1 MS/s with DMA data transferring) between conversions of individual analog output channels, and takes full advantage of the PCI-1712. In this mode you can specify a clock source and trigger source and either of the two analog output channels to work in continuous output operation mode. But when both of them operate in this mode, the maximum update rate will be 500 kS/s for each
