Overview
The ECU-P1706 is an advanced high-performance
multifunction card based on the Universal PCI-104
bus.The maximum sampling rate of ECU-P1706 is
up to 250 kS/s with 8 A/D converters simultaneously
sampling on each channel, With a large FIFO of
8K Sample.The ECU-P1706 has two 32-bit Time/
counter channels so that it can provide specic
functions for different application requirements.

Figure 1 - Differential Input Channel Connection
Buffered AI Trigger & CLK Source
The ECU-P1706 has a double-clock system, with a
SCAN clock and CONV clock, to generate efcient
A/D conversion clocks at specific times. A/D
conversion clocks come from internal clock sources
or external signals on a connector. The CLK has
several sources.
Internal A/D clock derived from 32-bit divider
External A/D clock from terminal board
With ECU-P1706, user can dene the type of trigger
source as rising-edge or falling-edge. The Trigger has
several sources.
External digital (TTL) trigger from terminal
board
Soft trigger

Software Installation
For more detailed Software Installation information on
this product, please refer to the ECU-P1706 Manual
on the CD-ROM (PDF format). CD:\ ECU-P Cards\
ECU-P1706\User's Manual.
Hardware Installation
1. Turn the PC’s power off. Turn off the power
of any peripheral devices such as printers and
monitors.
2. Disconnect the power cord and any other cables
from the back of the computer.
3. Remove the system unit cover (see the user’s
guide for your chassis if necessary).
4. Remove the CPU card from the chassis (if
necessary) to gain access to the card’s PCI-104
connector.
5. Attach the ECU-P1706 card to the PCI-104
connector. Carefully align the pins with the
PCI-104 connector. Slide the module into the
connector. The module pins may not slide all the
way into the connector; do not force the pins into
place, or the module may be damaged.
6. Fasten the module to the CPU card by using the
included brass screw. Screw the brass spacer
into the threaded hole on the CPU card. Do not
tighten too much, or the threads may be damaged.
7. Reinstall the CPU card and replace the system
unit cover. Reconnect the cables you removed in
step 2.
8. Attach the two green 18 PIN terminals
connection line(refer to chapter 3 Pin for
denition) accessories to the ECU-P1706.
9. Plug in and turn on the power. This completes the
hardware installation. Install the software driver
as described in the following section.
