Table4-1 shows the I/O connector signal descriptions for the PCI-6023E, PCI-6024E, and PCI-6025E.

Table 4-1. I/O Connector Signal Descriptions

Signal Name Reference Direction Description
AIGND Analog Input Ground—These pins are the reference point
for single-ended measurements in RSE configuration and
the bias current return point for differential measurements.
All three ground references—AIGND, AOGND, and
DGND—are connected together on your board.
ACH<0..15> AIGND Input Analog Input Channels 0 through 15—Each channel pair,
ACH<i, i+8> (i = 0..7), can be configured as either one
differential input or two single-ended inputs.
AISENSE AIGND Input Analog Input Sense—This pin serves as the reference node
for any of channels ACH <0..15> in NRSE configuration.
DAC0OUT1AOGND Output Analog Channel 0 Output—This pin supplies the voltage
output of analog output channel 0.
DAC1OUT1AOGND Output Analog Channel 1 Output—This pin supplies the voltage
output of analog output channel 1.
AOGND Analog Output Ground—The analog output voltages are
referenced to this node. All three ground
references—AIGND, AOGND, and DGND—are connected
together on your PCI E Series board.
DGND Digital Ground—This pin supplies the reference for the
digital signals at the I/O connector as well as the +5 VDC
supply. All three ground references—AIGND, AOGND,
and DGND—are connected together on your PCI E Series
board.
DIO<0..7> DGND Input or
Output Digital I/O signals—DIO6 and 7 can control the up/down
signal of general-purpose counters 0 and 1, respectively.
PA<0..7>2DGND Input or
Output Port A bidirectional digital data lines for the 82C55A
programmable peripheral interface on the PCI-6025E. PA7
is the MSB. PA0 is the LSB.
PB<0..7>2DGND Input or
Output Port B bidirectional digital data lines for the 82C55A
programmable peripheral interface on the PCI-6025E. PB7
is the MSB. PB0 is the LSB.
PC<0..7>2DGND Input or
Output Port C bidirectional digital data lines for the 82C55A
programmable peripheral interface on the PCI-6025E. PC7
is the MSB. PC0 is the LSB.
+5 V DGND Output +5 VDC Source—These pins are fused for up to 1 A of
+5 Vsupply. The fuse is self-resetting.
