Introduction

The PCI-9118 Series is a family of high performance data acquisition boards with the PCI bus interface. All members of this family share common architecture and core features. It is an ideal DAQ card for high speed, gap-free data acquisition applications. The following unique features make the PCI-9118 suitable for high performance applications.

Channel/Gain Queue high speed scanning
A 256-location channel/gain queue on each PCI-9118 card allows high speed data acquisition with different gains on each channel and in non-sequential order using bus-mastering DMA and FIFO interrupt based on data transfer. 

Gap-free/high performance in Windows Applications
The on-board 1024 locations of FIFO ensure that high-speed data acquisition can be maintained reliably under Windows O.S. 

The data can be transferred through bus-mastering DMA with gap-free, continuous high throughput, even for large a amount of data.

Simultaneous 4 Channels
The PCI-9812/10 is equipped with 4 AD converters at 20MHz simultaneous sampling rate. The high speed and simple use allow the PCI-9812/9810 to serve many applications, such as image digitizing, medical applications, vibration testing equipment, and RF or base band signal digitization. The PCI-9812 card provides the best cost / performance ratio for high-end applications. 

A/D Data Throughput
When 4 channels are starting at the same time, the total data throughput from the AD converter to the on-board FIFO memory will be 160M bytes /sec. (160MB/s = 20MHz ¢® 4 channels ¢® 2 bytes/channel.) The extremely high data rate is beyond the PCI-bus bandwidth. Therefore, 32K words FIFO is designed for buffering the data.

PCI-bus Bandwidth
The burst PCI bandwidth is 132MB /sec. However, the effective sustained data rate is usually less than 100MB/s. This value may be even lower when many PCI add-on devices are used at the same time. If the total AD data throughput is lower than the PCI bandwidth, then the AD data can put into the host memory through the Bus-mastering DMA, and the total acquiring data length could be up-to 64M bytes which is the limitation of the PCI controller. If the total AD data throughput is higher than the PCI bandwidth, then the maximum data length will be limited by the size of on-board FIFO.

On-board FIFO Memory
There are 32K words (32K samples) FIFO on-board. When 4 channels are used, the FIFO size is 8K samples pre channel. When two channels (#0 and #1) are used, the FIFO size is 16K samples per channel. Only one channel (#0) is used, the FIFO size is 32K samples. 

Bus-mastering Data Transfer 
PCI bus-mastering DMA is necessary for high speed DAQ in order to utilize the maximum PCI bandwidth. The bus-mastering controller built in the PCI controller controls the PCI bus when it becomes the master of the bus. Bus mastering reduces the size of on-board memory and the CPU loading because data is directly transferred to the computer*s memory without host CPU intervention. 

A/D Signal Conditioning
To control the A/D signal source, the signal type and range should be considered. The available signal input ranges for PCI-9812/10 are +5V or +1V. The input impedance for high speed applications should also be considered. The selectable input impedance values are 50 Ohm, 1.25 K, 15M ohm.

A/D Conversion Modes
The conversion mode determines the timing of conversions. There are three sources for A/D conversion timing: internal pacer clock, external sine wave or external square clock. The frequency of internal A/D pacer clock is programmable. The maximum clock rate is 20MHz. The use of external clock is more flexible because users can generate any clock frequency. The external clock must be 2 times higher than the sampling rate, for example, 36MHz external clock provide 18 MHz AD sampling rate. And because of the pipelined structure of the ADC, the external clock must be continuous.

A/D Trigger Modes
The PCI-9812/10 provides versatile trigger modes, including internal trigger, external positive-edge trigger and external negative-edge trigger. Users can utilize the signals on any analog input channel as the external trigger signal. The post-trigger, pre-trigger, middle trigger and the delay trigger can be implemented in combination with the software and hardware techniques.
