Onboard Programmable Timer/Counter
PCI-1710U/HGU/UL provides a programmable timer counter for gener-
ating pacer trigger for the A/D conversion. The timer/counter chip is
82C54, which includes three 16-bit counters of 10 MHz clock. One coun-
ter is used as an event counter for counting events coming from the input
channel. The other two are cascaded together to make a 32-bit timer for
pacer trigger time base.
BoardID Switch
PCI-1710U/HGU/UL has a built-in DIP switch that helps define each
card’s ID when multiple PCI-1710U/HGU/UL cards have been installed
on the same PC chassis. The BoardID setting function is very useful when
building a system with multiple PCI-1710U cards. With the correct Boar-
dID settings, you can easily identify and access each card during hard-
ware configuration and software programming.
