Introducing the PCI-DAS6023 and PCI-DAS6025
Overview: PCI-DAS6023 and PCI-DAS6025 features
This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-DAS6023 and PCI-DAS6025 boards. These boards can be
used in a wide variety of measurement applications, including data logging, field testing and process control.
The PCI-DAS6025 provides 16 channels of 12-bit analog input, dual 12-bit analog outputs with a 10 kS/s per
channel update rate, 32 digital I/O lines and two 16-bit counter timers.
The PCI-DAS6023 provides 16 channels of 12-bit analog input, 8 digital I/O lines and two 16-bit counter
timers.
The analog inputs on each board can be configured as either eight differential or 16 single-ended channels. The
input ranges are bipolar, in four ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, ±500 mV, and ±50 mV. The ranges are software-
selectable.
Each board provides nine user-configurable trigger/clock/gate pins that are available at a 100-pin I/O connector.
Six of the pins are configurable as inputs and three pins are configurable as outputs.
Up to five PCI-DAS6000 series boards can be interconnected for I/O synchronization. Five trigger/strobes and a
synchronizing clock are available on a 14-pin header connector. Interrupts can be generated by up to seven
ADC sources and four DAC sources.
Both boards are equipped with an 82C54 counter chip that contains three 16-bit counters. Clock, gate, and
output signals from two of the counters are available on the board’s 100-pin I/O connector. The third counter is
used internally.
