Driver Block Parameters

Channel Vector - Enter numbers between 1 and 8. This board allows the selection of individual D/A channels in any order. The number of elements defines the number of D/A channels used. For example, to use the first and second analog output (D/A) channels, enter

Number the channels beginning with 1 even if the board manufacturer starts numbering the channels with 0.

Range Vector - Range code for each of the channels in the channel vector. The range vector must be the same length as the channel vector. This driver allows the range of each channel to be different.

The following table is a list of the ranges for this driver and the corresponding range codes.

Input range (V)
Range code
Input range (V)
Range code
-10 to +10
-10
0 - 10
10
-5 to +5
-5
0 - 5
5

For example, if the first channel is -10 to +10 volts, and the second channel is 0 to 5 volts, enter

    The range settings have to correspond to the DIP-switch settings on the board.

Sampletime - Base sample time of a multiple of the base sample time.

BaseAddress - Enter the base address of the board. It is important that this entry corresponds to the DIP-switch settings on the board. For example, if the base address is 300 (hexadecimal), enter
