Driver Block Parameters
Channel Vector - Enter numbers between 1 and 16. This board allows the selection of individual A/D 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
[1,2]
Number the channels beginning with 1 even if the board manufacturer starts numbering the channels with 0.
Range Vector - Enter a range code for each of the channels in the channel vector. The range vector must be the same length as the channel vector. This board 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) |

For example, if the first channel is -10 to +10 volts, and the second channel is 0 to 5 volts, enter
[-10,5]
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
0x300
The jumpers by the range DIP switches on the board all have to be in the XFER position. The Wait-State jumper has to be in the off position.
