2.2.4 Physical ID of DIP Switch
DID1: Set physical ID number. When the PC is installed more than one PCI8932 , you can use the DIP switch to set a
physical ID number for each board, which makes it very convenient for users to distinguish and visit each board in the
progress of the hardware configuration and software programming. The following four-place numbers are expressed by
the binary system: When DIP switch points to "ON", that means "1", and when it points to the other side, that means
"0." As they are shown in the following diagrams: place "ID3" is the high bit."ID0" is the low bit, and the black part in
the diagram represents the location of the switch. (Test software of the company often uses the logic ID management
equipments and at this moment the physical ID DIP switch is invalid. If you want to use more than one kind of the
equipments in one and the same system at the same time, please use the physical ID as much as possible.).

Chapter 4 Connection Ways for Each Signal
4.1 Analog Input Single-ended Connection
Single-ended mode can achieve a signal input by one channel, and several signals use the common reference ground.
This mode is widely applied in occasions of the small interference and relatively many channels.
Figure 4.1 single-ended input connection
4.2 Analog Input Differential-ended Mode
Double-ended input mode, which was also called differential input mode, uses positive and negative channels to input a
signal. This mode is mostly used when biggish interference happens and the channel numbers are few.
Single-ended/double-ended mode can be set by the software, please refer to PCI8932 software manual.
According to the diagram below, PCI8932 board can be connected as analog voltage double-ended input mode, which
can effectively suppress common-mode interference signal to improve the accuracy of acquisition. Positive side of the
8-channel analog input signal is connected to AI0~AI7, the negative side of the analog input signal is connected to
AI8~AI15, equipments in industrial sites share the AGND with PCI8932 board.

Chapter5 Subtractive Counter
Mode 0: Interrupt on terminal count
Under this mode, when given the initial value, if GATE is high level, the counter immediately begins to count by
subtracting “1” each time, the counter output OUT turns into low level; when the count ends and the count value
becomes 0, the counter output OUT becomes and keeps high level until given the initial value or reset. If a counter
which is counting is given a new value, the counter will begin to count from the new value by subtracting “1” each time.
GATE can be used to control the count, GATE=1 enables counting; GATE=0 disables counting.
OUT signal changes high from low can be used as interrupt request.
Time diagram is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
Mode 1: Hardware retriggerable one-shot
The mode can work under the role of GATE. After given the initial count value N, OUT becomes high level, the
counter begins to count until the appearance of the rising edge of GATE, at this moment OUT turns into low level;
when the count ends and the count value becomes 0, OUT becomes high level, that is, the output one-shot pulse width
is determined by the initial count value N. If the current operation does not end and another rising edge of GATE
appears, then the current count stops, the counter begins to count from N once again, and then the output one-shot pulse
will be widened. When the count reduction of the counter has not yet reached zero, but it is given a new value N1. Only
when it is the rising edge of GATE, the counter starts to count from N1.
Time diagram is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2
Mode 2: Rate Generator
Under this mode, the counter is given the initial count value N and begins to count from (N-1), OUT becomes high
level. When the count value becomes 0, OUT turns into low level. After a CLK cycle, OUT resumes high level, and the
counter automatically load the initial value N and begin to count from (N-1). Thus the output will continue to output a
negative pulse, its width is equal to one clock cycle, the clock number between the two negative pulses is equal to the
initial value that is given to the counter. GATE=1 enables counting; GATE=0 disables counting. GATE has no effect on
OUT. If change the initial count when counting, it will be effective next time.
Time diagram is shown in figure 3.
Figure 3
Mode 3: Square wave mode
Similar to Mode 2, the counter is given the initial count value N and begins to count from (N-1). When the signal of
GATE is high level, it starts to count, timer/counter begins to count by subtracting “1” each time, more than half the
initial count value. The output OUT has remained high level, when the count value is more than half of the initial count
value; but the output OUT becomes low level, when the count value is less than half of the initial value. If the initial
count value N is an even number, the output is 1:1 square-wave; if the initial count value N is an odd number, the
output OUT has remained high level during the previous (n +1)/2 count period; but the output OUT becomes low level
during the post (n-1)/2 count period, that is, the high level has one clock cycle more than the low level. If change the
initial count when counting, it will be effective next time. When GATE = 0, the count is prohibited, when GATE = 1,
the count is permitted. Time diagram is shown in figure 4.

Mode 4: Software triggered strobe
Under this mode, the counter is given the initial count value N and begins to count, the output OUT becomes high level.
When the count value becomes 0, it immediately outputs a negative pulse which is equal to the width of one clock
cycle. If given a new count value when counting, it will be effective immediately. GATE=1 enables counting; GATE=0
disables counting. GATE has no effect on OUT. Time diagram is shown in figure 5.
Figure 5
Mode 5: Hardware triggered strobe
Under this mode, when the signal of GATE is on the rising edge, the counter starts to count (so it is called hardware
trigger), the output OUT has remained high level. When the count value becomes 0, it outputs a negative pulse which is
equal to the width of one clock cycle. And then the rising edge of GATE signal can re-trigger, the counter starts to
count from the initial count value again, in the count period, the output has remained high level. When the count
reduction of the counter has not yet reached zero, but it is given a new value N1. Only when it is the rising edge of
GATE, the counter starts to count from N1. Time diagram is shown in figure 6.
