CHAPTER 1: QUICK START
It is recommended that you install the software package before
installing the PCI Express Mini (mPCIe) or M.2 card in your
computer. Install the software1using our stand-alone installer
downloaded from the website.
Run the installer you downloaded and follow the prompts to install
the software for your device.
Please note: during the installation you may be prompted regarding
the installation of non-WHQL-certified drivers; please carefully
confirm the digitally signed source of the drivers and accept the
installation.
Once the software has been installed, shut down your system and
carefully install the card.
Re-start your system. Once the computer finishes booting, your
new I/O should already be installed and ready for use; you can
confirm this by launching Device Manager and looking under the
“Data Acquisition” section. If, for any reason, the device displays a
warning triangle, right-click and select “Update Driver”.

CHAPTER 5: PC INTERFACE
This product interfaces with a PC using a PCI Express Mini Card
(mPCIe) connection; a small-form-factor, high-performance, rugged
peripheral interconnect technology first introduced for use in
laptops and other portable computers.
mPCIe’s small size and powerful performance, combined with
perfect software compatibility with PCI and PCIe peripheral designs,
have led to its recent adoption as a go-to standard for embedded
Data Acquisition and Control, and many other applications.
Although mPCIe is a broadly-adopted industry standard, the actual
connection to the computer shares a specification with mSATA:
both mSATA and mPCIe use the same edge-connector. In fact, well-
designed PCs can automatically detect and configure their onboard
connectors to work with either mPCIe or mSATA devices –and,
according to the standards for mPCIe and mSATA they are supposed
to do so! However, some PC manufacturers ship computers that
only support mSATA devices. Please confirm in your PC
documentation that your edge-connector is actually PCI Express
Mini Card compliant before installing this, or any, mPCIe card.
Damage might occur if you install an mPCIe device into a computer
that only supports mSATA.
mPCIe defines mounting holes for securing the otherwise loose end
of the card, so it is impossible for these cards to wiggle or flap
themselves loose (which was a recurring problem with the older PCI
Mini devices). Eliminating this concern for PCI Express Mini Cards is
a major reason this standard has seen rapid adoption by the Data
Acquisition and Control industry. Unfortunately, a variety of
mounting standoff lengths exist; ACCES offers stand-off kits in both
2mm and 2.5mm sizes. Some computers may provide stand-offs.
Please consult your computer manufacturer if it requires a different
size.
The mPCIe standard, like its PCI Mini Card predecessor, was
designed assuming use primarily in Laptop or Notebook and similar
devices, where physical dimension is often the paramount design
constraint. In Data Acquisition and Control applications low-weight
and vibration tolerance tend to be of more concern.

CHAPTER 7: SOFTWARE INTERFACE
How to use
The ADAS3022 is a flexible data acquisition system-on-chip that has numerous features and modes of operation, and additional modes and features are added by our advanced FPGA
design.
This flexibility can seem overwhelming, but we’ve designed our AIOAIO.dll API to make using this ADC simple for 99% of customer use-cases, based on 30+ years of customer feedback.
We strongly recommend you ignore the register details provided in Chapter 7: Software Interface and the discussions regarding low-level control of the ADC in the second half of this
chapter. Instead, simply refer to the AIOAIO Software Reference (.html) manual [link] and the source code to the variety of sample programs provided in the Software Installation
Package [link].
Tip: Taking data from every channel can be as simple as calling “ADC_GetImmediateScanV(0, rangeCode, &data);”, which converts all channels at the specified range and stuffs the data
(as double-precision floating point Voltages) into the data array. This function can be called many thousands of times per second. Please refer to the samples and the software reference
for details on this and other available API functions, including how to acquire 1MHz data via callback or polling.
Advanced Topics
BASIC, ADVANCED, AND NON-SEQUENCED MODES
The ADAS3022 uses the SEQ1:0 bits in the +38 and +3C control registers to select between non-sequenced mode, basic sequence mode, and advanced sequence mode.

Acquires Channel 0 using the gain selected via +18 bits 2:0. Conversion-starts will automatically cycle through the channels from CH0 through INx2:0,
and each channel is acquired at the per-channel gain set in +18. The sequence repeats, starting at CH0 after INx2:0 is acquired.
1
1
Basic Sequence
Acquires channel 0 using the gain set in Gain2:0. Conversion-starts will automatically cycle through the channels from CH0 through INx2:0, but all
channels are acquired using the gain set in Gain2:0 rather than using the gains from +18. The sequence repeats, starting at CH0 after INx2:0 is
acquired.
SOFTWARE, PERIODIC, AND EXTERNAL START ADC CONVERSION TIMING MODES
ADC data can be acquired periodically, synchronous to an external digital input, or asynchronously via software command.
Single, Asynchronous: If the +10 ADC Timing divisor is zero then writing to +38 or +3C with bit 16 set (to 1) will initiate a single ADC Start Event under software control.
Periodic, Asynchronous: If the +10 ADC Timing divisor is non-zero, and the External ADC Trigger Digital Input Secondary function is not enabled, writing to +38 with bit 16 set will initiate a
single ADC Start Event, and subsequent events will occur at the rate selected via +10’s divisor. This is “software initiated periodic timed ADC” data. Note: configure +3C before this write
to +38.
External Trigger, Periodic, Synchronous: If the +10 ADC Timing divisor is non-zero, and the External ADC Trigger Digital Input Secondary function is enabled, writing to +38 with bit 16 set
ARMS the card to begin the periodic collection of ADC data. No data will be collected until the selected edge occurs on the ADC Trigger input. (Refer to +44 for additional details on the
Digital I/O Secondary Functions.) Once triggered, data will be collected until manually stopped by writing +38 with bit 16 clear (or various resets, etc.).
External Start, Single, Synchronous: The digital input secondary function “ADC Start” can be configured to initiate individual ADC Start Events on a selected edge input.

ACCES I/O Products, Inc. MADE IN THE USA mPCIe- and M.2-AIO16-16F Family Manual
5 Rev B6e
SINGLE AND SCAN START MODES
Each ADC Start Event can be configured to start either a Scan of channels or a single channel conversion.
Single Start Mode: Writing to +38 with bit 18 clear (to 0) selects “Single Start Mode”. Each ADC Start Event, regardless of source, will acquire one channel. No subsequent conversions
will occur until the next ADC Start Event.
Scan Start Mode: Writing to +38 with bit 18 set (to 1) selects “Scan Start Mode”. Each ADC Start Event will acquire the full configured sequence of channels, starting with CH0 and
proceeding through INx2:0, then no further data will be acquired until a subsequent ADC Start Event. The channels within this “scan” of data are acquired at the rate selected via +14. Bit
18 is ignored (assumed zero) if non-Sequenced mode is set (SEQ1:0=00) or if INx2:0==0.
Software Pro Tips:
•Use our API. Avoid accessing the card registers unless you really know you need to. Contact us for any questions, we’re here to help.
•Always use Advanced Sequencer Mode.
•Always prefer Scan Start Mode unless you have unusual timing needs.
•Set the periodic rate at +10, set the inside-scan channel rate at +14, configure External Trigger if you are using it, configure the per-channel gains at +18 and +1C, then write to
+3C then +38 to Start or Arm (in Software or ADC Trigger modes, respectively) the Periodic Scans.

ADC Base Clock, Offset +C of 32-bit Memory BAR[1]Read Only 32-bits only
ADC Base Clock: Reading this 32-bit register returns the speed (in Hertz) of the clock used to generate ADC Start Conversions. Typical value is 50Million (50MHz), but for
broadest compatibility software should always read this register during init, and always use the read value when calculating what, if any, divisor to write to the
ADC Rate Divisor register.
ADC Rate Divisor, Offset +10 of 32-bit Memory BAR[1]Read/Write 32-bits only
ADC Rate Divisor: Write a 32-bit divisor to the ADC Rate Divisor register to control the speed at which ADC Conversions occur in selected ADC Conversion Start Modes.
Actual ADC Start Rate (Hz) = ADC Base Clock ÷ ADC Rate Divisor
ADC Rate Divisor = integer(ADC Base Clock ÷ Target ADC Start Rate)
In ADC Scan Start mode each timeout of the +10 divisor begins a scan of channels. In all other modes the +10 rate selects the conversion rate per-channel.
ADC Rate Divisor #2, Offset +14 of 64-bit Memory BAR[2+3] Read/Write 32-bits only
ADC Rate Divisor #2: Write a 32-bit divisor to the ADC Rate Divisor #2 register to control the speed at which ADC Conversions occur within each scan when running in ADC
Scan Start Modes.
In “ADC Scan” start modes only, one Scan of ADC CH0 through the channel selected in +38 INx2:0 bits occurs at the rate selected at +10. During each Scan the first channel is
converted immediately, and subsequent channels are acquired at the rate selected at +14.

In Software ADC Start Mode (ADC Rate Divisor (+10) cleared to zero) the FIFO Count determines how many ADC Conversions (+statuses) are held in the FIFO. Read the ADC FIFO
this many times to gather the acquired ADC Data.

In all other modes the FIFO Count reports the number of pairs of ADC Conversions are available in the FIFO. Were you to read the data from the ADC FIFO (+30) you would read
two 32-bit values per FIFO Count to gather the acquired data. However, in these modes it is generally best to let DMA transfer the FIFO data, which is performed at the native
64-bit FIFO width.

ADC FIFO Data: Read the RAW-format ADC Conversion results (in twos-complement 16-bit form) and the associated status word.
INVALID: If INVALID is SET then all other bits are undefined, and the entry should be discarded. This can occur if you read from the ADC FIFO while the ADC FIFO Count
(+28) is zero.
RUNNING: SET indicates the ADC Sequencer is operating, taking either periodic (timer-driven) conversions or via the external ADC Start secondary digital function.
DIO1:0: These bits indicate the state of the corresponding digital I/O pin at the time the paired ADC Conversion was sampled.
TEMP: If TEMP is SET the ADC Counts are acquired from the ADAS3022’s onboard temperature sensor rather than from an analog input channel. Refer to ADC Control
(+38) for more information about acquiring the temperature data.
MUX: If MUX is SET the ADC Counts are acquired from the ADAS3022’s Auxiliary Mux inputs rather than from the normal Analog Input Channels. Note, the mPCIe-
AIO16-16F does not have anything usefully connected to the Aux Mux inputs and you should not bother acquiring data from them.
SEQ: The SEQ bit indicates which ADC the data is from, and can be thought of as Channel:3. That is, if SEQ is set add +8 to the channel reported by the Channel2:0
bits.
Channel2:0: The 3 Channel bits indicate from which Analog Input the paired ADC Counts were sampled. Refer to ADC Control (+38) for important information about the
Channel bits re Differential operation.
Diff: SET indicates the paired ADC Counts were sampled in Differential mode. Refer to ADC Control (+38) for important information about the Channel bits re
Differential operation.
Gain2:0: The 3 Gain bits indicate at what gain code the paired ADC Counts were sampled. Refer to the gain code table in ADC Advanced Sequencer Gain Control (+18)
for how to interpret the Gain bits.
ADC Counts: 16-bit two’s complement ADC counts, the ADC conversion result from the samples Channel at the specified Gain, sampled in Differential or Singled-ended /
Pseudo-Differential mode as indicated by the Diff bit (D19).
Please refer to the “Software Tips” section for details on how to translate RAW-format ADC data into Volts —or skip the hassle and use our AIOAIO.dll API Library:
ADC_GetImmediateV(iBoard, pVolts, iChannel, iRange);, ADC_GetImmediateScanV(iBoard, pVolts[]); etc.

Controls ADAS #0, channels 0-7
The ADAS3022 is a very flexible ADC module and we highly recommend you use the AIOAIO.dll-provided API to avoid needing to know the following information.
SCAN: If SCAN is set (to 1) AND INx2:0 is non-zero then each “ADC Start” event will acquire channels 0 through INx2:0 at the rate specified in +14.

ACCES I/O Products, Inc. MADE IN THE USA mPCIe- and M.2-AIO16-16F Family Manual
9 Rev B6e
CONFIG: If CONFIG is set then the ADC control bits (D15 through D0 of this register) will be written to the ADAS3022
GO: If GO is set then, if +10 is non-zero the card will begin taking ADC conversions or scans at the rate set via +10; if +10 is zero then a single ADC conversion or scan will be
taken.
INx2:0: INx specifies the individual channel to convert (in non-sequenced modes) or the last channel of the 0-INx sequence to be converted.
COM: If COM is set then each conversion will be the measurement between the IN+ pin and COMMON (single-ended or pseudo-differential mode). If COM is clear then
differential mode is set, and each conversion will be the measurement between the IN+ and IN- pins.
Gain2:0: If BASIC or non-sequenced mode is configured via the SEQ1:0 bits then Gain2:0 selects the gain to be used for the conversion(s) commanded. If advanced sequence
mode is configured then these bits are ignored (bits 2:0 at +18 take precedence in advanced sequencer mode)
/MUX: All users should set this bit to “1” unless otherwise instructed by the factory. If MUX is clear (0) then the conversion will be from the auxiliary mux inputs (in non-
sequencer mode) or the sequence will include the aux input (sequencer modes). Not recommended.
SEQ1:0: Use “00” for non-sequenced mode and “10” for advanced sequencer mode. “11” sets basic sequencer mode, and “01” updates the basic sequence-in-progress. Not
recommended.
/TEMP: If TEMP is clear (0) then the conversion will be from the onboard temperature reference (in non-sequencer mode) or the sequence will include the temperature input
(sequencer modes). Not recommended. Most users should set this bit to 1.
CMS: Must be set if conversion will occur slower than 1kHz. Must be clear if conversions will occur faster than 900kHz.

Read IRQ Status to determine which/if any IRQs have fired (D23…D16), if the Watchdog has Barked (D31), and which IRQs are enabled (D7…D0):
WDG: If WDG is SET then the Watchdog Timer has Barked (timed out). Refer to Watchdog Control (+4C) for details on using the Watchdog Timer feature.
EXTn: If EXTnis SET then an IRQ has been fired from the DIOnSecondary Function “External IRQn”. Refer to DIO Control (+48) for details on DIO Secondary Functions.
LDAC: If LDAC is SET then an IRQ has been fired from the DIO 1 Secondary Function “LDAC”. Refer to DIO Control (+48) for details on DIO Secondary Functions.
FOF: If FOF is SET then an IRQ has been fired because the ADC FIFO has Overrun: More data was acquired than fit in the ADC FIFO.
FAF: If FAF is SET then an IRQ has been fired because the ADC FIFO Count (+28) has reached the configured FIFO Almost Full IRQ Threshold (+20).
DTO: If DTO is SET then a DMA Timeout IRQ has been fired.
DDONE: If DDONE is SET then a DMA Done IRQ has been fired.
ADCSTART: If ADCSTART is SET then an IRQ has been fired from the DIO 0 Secondary Function “ADCSTART”. Refer to DIO Control (+48) for details on DIO Secondary Functions.
ADCTRIG: If ADCTRIG is SET then an IRQ has been fired from the DIO 0 Secondary Function “ADCTRIG”. Refer to DIO Control (+48) for details on DIO Secondary Functions.
Bits D8 through D0 indicate if the corresponding IRQ has been enabled.
Write IRQ Status bits SET to clear the latched IRQ Status bit(s). Typically, code will read +40 and write the value to +40 to clear all detected IRQs and leave the IRQ enables unchanged.

enWDG: SET enWDT to enable the “WDT Output Status” Digital Output Secondary Function on DIO 1. DIO 1 (I/O Group 1) becomes an output and indicates the state of
the Watchdog Feature.
enEXTn: SET enEXT0 or enEXT1 to enable the corresponding “External IRQ” Digital Input Secondary Function on DIO 0/1 so the selected edge on the input will
(optionally) generate IRQs.
enLDAC: SET enLDAC to enable the “External LDAC” Digital Input Secondary Function on DIO1 so the selected edge will cause the DACs to update and optionally
generate an IRQ.
enSTART: SET enSTART to enable the “ADC Start Conversion” Digital Input Secondary Function on DIO 0 so the selected edge will cause an ADC Start Event and optionally
generate an IRQ.
enTRIG: SET enTRIG to enable the “ADC Trigger” Digital Input Secondary Function on DIO 0 so the selected edge will trigger timed ADC conversions and optionally
generate an IRQ. Consult the “Software Tips” section for details on using ADC Trigger.
Each Digital Input Secondary function has a configurable active edge, rising or falling. SET the corresponding edgeXXX bit to select rising edge, CLEAR the bit for falling edge.
I/O Group1:0 SET each bit to configure the digital I/O bit in the associated I/O Group for use as digital outputs. CLEAR a bit to configure the I/O Group for use as inputs.
(D0 is I/O Group 0 which controls the output vs input direction of DIO 0; D1 is I/O Group 1 which controls the direction of DIO1)

Watchdog Timeout
Write the number of Ticks (which occur at the ADC Base Clock Rate (+C)) before the Watchdog should timeout (“Bark”); e.g., for a one-second timeout period write the value read from
+C to +4C.
When the Watchdog Barks the board is RESET as if just powered on (or as if a 1 is written to the Resets and Power (+0) register) with the following exceptions:
If enWDG, the “WDT Output Status” DIO Secondary Output Function is enabled then DIO 1 remains an output and asserts 0.
Bit D31 of the IRQ Enable/Clear and Status (+40) “WDG” is latched SET to indicate that the Watchdog timed out.
Write 0 to the Watchdog Timeout (+4C) register to disable the Watchdog Feature.

NOTE ABOUT PERFORMANCE
The PCI Express bus and the PCI Express Mini Card standard are capable of very high bandwidth, but the latency per-transaction is roughly the same as all the other busses –it hasn’t
improved in decades. This means you can expect to usually see a not-less-than 1MHz transaction rate. Typical rates exceed 3MHz [0.3µs].
Unfortunately, modern Operating Systems have introduced a new source of latency, the kernel / userland division. Application code runs in userland, which must transition to the kernel
in order to perform any hardware operation. This transition adds quite a lot of latency, which varies between different OSes, motherboards and revisions thereof, etcetera. A Windows
XP system can see an additional 7µs per transaction; a modern computer might see 3µs or less. Any transaction from the kernel itself, however, avoids this additional overhead.
Real-time operating systems will enable the highest transaction rates possible, all the way up to the hardware limits.
