2 PCI-1720 User's Manual
1.1 Introduction
The PCI-1720 is an isolated digital-to-analog output card for the PCI
bus. It provides four 12-bit analog output channels with isolation
protection of 2500 V
DC
between the outputs and the PCI bus. This is
ideal for industrial applications where high-voltage protection is
required.
Keeping the Output Settings and Values
after System Reset
Users can set the four outputs independently to different ranges: 0 to
+5 V, 0 to +10 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 to 20 mA (sink) or 4 to 20 mA (sink).
When the system is hot reset (the power is not shut off), the PCI-1720
can either retain the last analog output settings and values, or return
to its default configuration based on the jumper setting. This
practical function eliminates danger caused by misoperation during
unexpected system resets.
PCI-bus Plug and Play
The PCI-1720 uses a PCI controller to interface the card to the PCI
bus. The controller fully implements the PCI bus specification Rev
2.1. All bus relative configurations, such as base address and inter-
rupt assignment, are automatically controlled by software.
