FCC Class A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residen-
tial area is likely to cause interference in which case the
user is required to correct interference at his own expense.
CE
This product has passed the CE test for environmental spec-
ifications when shielded cables are used for external wiring.
We recommend the use of shielded cables. This kind of
cable is available from Advantech. Please contact your local
supplier for ordering information.

Software Installation
Hardware Installation
1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord
and cables. TURN OFF your computer before
installing or removing any components on the com-
puter.
2. Remove the cover of your computer.
3. Remove the slot cover on the back panel of your
computer.
4. Touch the metal part on the surface of your computer
to neutralize the static electricity that might be on
your body.
5. Insert the PCI-1712,1712L card into a PCI slot. Hold
the card only by its edges and carefully align it with
the slot. Insert the card firmly into place. Use of
excessive force must be avoided; otherwise, the card
might be damaged.
6. Fasten the bracket of the PCI card on the back panel
rail of the computer with screws.
7. Connect appropriate accessories (68-pin cable, wir-
ing terminals, etc. if necessary) to the PCI card.
8. Replace the cover of your computer chassis. Re-con-
nect the cables you removed in step 2.
9. Plug in the power cord and turn on the computer.

4 Startup Manual
Analog Input Connections
The PCI-1712/1712L supports either 16 single-ended or
8 differential analog inputs. Each individual input
channel is software-selected.
Single-ended Channel Connections
The single-ended input configuration has only one sig-
nal wire for each channel, and the measured voltage
(Vm) is the voltage of the wire as referenced against the
common ground.
Differential Channel Connections
The differential input channels operate with two signal
wires for each channel, and the voltage difference
between both signal wires is measured. On the PCI-
1712/1712L, when all channels are configured to differ-
ential input, up to 8 analog channels are available.

Analog Output Connections
The PCI-1712/1712L provides two D/A output chan-
nels, AO0_OUT and AO1_OUT. Users may use the
PCI-1712 internally-provided precision +5V (+10V)
reference to generate 0 ~ +5 V and 0 ~ +10 V unipolar
D/A output range; or to generate -5 ~ +5 V and -10 ~
+10 V for bipolar output range.
Users also may create D/A output range through exter-
nal references, AO0_REF and AO1_REF. The external
reference input range is 0 ~10 V. For example, connect-
ing with an external reference of +7 V will generate 0 ~
+7 V D/A output for unipolar; and -7 ~ +7 V for bipo-
lar.
