xPCI-3200 API
|
This board has two main functionalities :
You have the possibility to read the status of the digital inputs (one bit per channel - 4 channels).
You also have the possibility to set the statos of the digital outputs (again, one bit per channel - 3 channels).
The digital inputs are not interruptible. See the module xPCI-3200 digital inputs/outputs functions for more information about the functions.
You can also find examples for C and C#.
On the board, there is 4 analog input modules, that enables to acquire temperature.
If you use RTD sensors, you can acquire up to 2 sensors per module (so 8 sensors).
By using TC sensors, in single-ended module you can acquire up to 4 sensors per module (so 16 sensors).
To get the temperature of a sensor, you have two different possibilities: reading one sensor or the scan mode.
In the module xPCI-3200 Temperature function you will have documentation about the function that enables to read one sensor.
Pros: You can choose the gain of the acquisition (more precise).
Cons: You cannot reach high frequencies.
The scan method enables to acquire all the sensors of the module in a continuous way, with a defined frequency. Have a look on the xPCI-3200 Scan functions module to see the available functions.
Pros: You can define a constant frequency, and then receive data regulary. Cons: You cannot set the gain, it is set to x1.
