The PCI-D128SU CR gives a PC 128 digital I/O lines organised as four 32-bit bi-directional ports. Each channel can be configured in software as an input or an output, which suits general-purpose digital control and monitoring in engineering test and automation work.Logic levels can be set to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V or 5 V TTL, so the board can interface with a range of signal standards. Pull-high and pull-low jumpers define the state of digital inputs when a channel is disconnected or interrupted, rather than leaving it floating. Pattern-matching and change-of-state interrupt monitoring are available for event-driven designs.An onboard 4-bit Card ID switch allows software to identify each board when two or more are fitted in the same computer. All connections run through a single high-density female SCSI II 100-pin connector, with two 20-pin box headers also provided. DLL and ActiveX control, plus sample programs for several development environments including LabVIEW, are supplied to help with application development.ApplicationsGeneral-purpose digital input and output in PC-based control and test systemsEvent-driven monitoring using pattern matching and change-of-state interruptsDigital waveform generation on output channelsMulti-board installations requiring individual board identification
