AI-1664LAX-USB 1
100KSPS 16-bit
Analog Input Unit for USB
AI-1664LAX-USB
*Specifications, color and design of the products are subject to
change without notice.
High-precision analog input 64 channels, each 4 channels
for digital I/O and counter 1 channel
This product has analog input (10μsec / channel, 16-bit, 64
channels), analog input control signal (LVTTL level 3 channels),
digital I/O (each 4 channels for LVTTL level) and counter (32-bit,
LVTTL level 1 channel). Capable of setting the analog input at
single-ended input 64 channels and differential input 32
channels.
The start/end of sampling can be controlled by software,
comparison of conversion data, an external trigger, etc.
You can select from software, comparison of conversion data or
an external trigger to control the start of sampling. You can select
from completion of sampling for a specified number of sessions,
comparison of conversion data, an external trigger or software to
control forcibly the end of sampling. The sampling cycle can be
selected from the internal clock or an external clock.
Equipped with buffer memory (1K data) that can be used in
the FIFO or RING format
The analog input block contains buffer memory (1K data) that can
be used in the FIFO or RING format. This allows for background
analog input that does not depend on the operation status of the
software or PC.
Digital filter function included to prevent misdetection due to
chattering on external signals
Adigital filter is included to prevent misdetection due to chattering
on the control signal (external trigger input signal, sampling clock
input signal, etc.), digital input signal and counter input signal.
(except from external clock input signal and counter gate signal)
Compatible with PCI / PCI Express bus board in it’s design.

(Max. 4) can be used.
This product has the USB HUB function.*2 Max. 4
AI-1664LAX-USB can be used in 1 USB port of PC. When you use
4 or moreAI-1664LAX-USB, you can do by connecting
AI-1664LAX-USB to the another USB port of PC side. Also, you
can connect the CONTEC’s USB supported products other than
AI-1664LAX-USB to the USB port ofAI-1664LAX-USB. *3*4
Software-based calibration function
Calibration of analog input can be all performed by software. Apart
from the adjustment information prepared before shipment,
additional adjustment information can be stored according to the
use environment.
Data logger software, Windows compatible driver libraries
are attached.
The attached data logger software [C-LOGGER] enables the graph
display of recorded signal data and file saving without a program.
Also, driver library API-USBP(WDM) that makes it possible to
create applications of Windows is attached.
Plug-ins for the dedicated libraries, this product also
supports MATLAB and LabVIEW.
We offer a dedicated library [ML-DAQ], which allows you to use
this product on MATLAB by The MathWorks as well as another
dedicated library [VI-DAQ], which allows you to use the product on
LabVIEW by National Instruments. These dedicated libraries are
available, free of charge (downloadable), on our web site.
*1 There are some differences of the specifications between this product andAI-1664LA-LPE,
AD16-64(LPCI)LA.
*2 This product cannot be stacked up for installation.
*3 Do not connect the device other than that of CONTEC’s USB to the USB port included on the
AI-1664LAX-USB. Otherwise, this may cause a failure or malfunction.
*4 When connecting multiple units with USB HUB function and set up them, do one at a time
and complete setup for the previous unit before starting to do the next unit.

N.C. No connection to this pin.
CAUTION
Do not connect any of the outputs and power outputs to the
analog or digital ground. Neither connect outputs to each
other. Doing either can result in a fault.
If analog and digital ground are shorted together, noise on
the digital signals may affect the analog signals. Accordingly,
analog and digital ground should be separated.
Leave "Reserved" pins unconnected. Connecting these pins
may cause a fault in the board.
Single-ended Input
The following figure shows an example of flat cable connection.
Connect separate signal and ground wires for each analog input
channel on CNA/B.
Single-ended Input Connection (Flat Cable)
The following figure shows an example of shield cable
connection. Use shielded cable if the distance between the signal
source and board is long or if you want to provide better
protection from noise. For each analog input channel on CNA/B,
connect the core wire to the signal line and connect the shielding
to ground.
Single-ended Input Connection (Shield Cable)
CAUTION
If the signal source contains over 1MHz signals, the signal
may effect the cross-talk noise between channels.
If the board and the signal source receive noise or the
distance between the board and the signal source is too long,
data may not be input properly.
An input analog signal should not exceed the maximum input
voltage (relate to the board analog ground). If it exceeds
the maximum voltage, the board may be damaged.
Connect all the unused analog input channels to analog
ground.
The signal connected to an input pin may fluctuate after
switching of the multiplexer. If this occurs, shorten the cable
between the signal source and the analog input pin or insert
a high-speed amplifier as a buffer between the two to reduce
the fluctuation.
In the channel switching, the multiplexer does the electrical
charge and discharge on the internal capacitor according to
the signal voltage. Therefore, the voltage from the previous
switching state may go into the next channel. It might cause
the error of the signal source action. If this occurs, insert a
high-speed amplifier as a buffer between the signal source
and the analog input pin to reduce the fluctuation.
An input pin may fail to obtain input data normally when the
signal source connected to the pin has high impedance. If
this is the case, change the signal source to one with lower
output impedance or insert a high-speed amplifier buffer
between the signal source and the analog input pin to reduce
the effect.

CAUTION
If the signal source contains over 1MHz signals, the signal
may effect the cross-talk noise between channels.
When the analog ground is not connected, the conversion
data is not determined.
If the board and the signal source receive noise or the
distance between the board and the signal source is too long,
data may not be input properly.
An input analog signal should not exceed the maximum input

The following sections show examples of how to connect digital
I/O signals, counter I/O signals, and other control I/O signals
(external trigger input signals, sampling clock input signals, etc.).
All the digital I/O signals and control signals are LVTTL level
signals.
Digital Input Connection
Digital Output Connection
About the counter input control signal
Counter Gate Control Input (refer to the chapter 3 Connector Pin
Assignment) acts as an input that validate or invalidate the input
of an external clock for the counter. This function enables the
control of an external clock input for the counter. The external
clock for the counter is effective when input is "High", and invalid
when input is "Low". If unconnected, it is a pull-up in this
product and remains "High". Therefore the external clock for the
counter is effective when the counter gate control input is not
connected.
CAUTION
Do not short the output signals to analog ground, digital
ground, and/or power line. Doing so may damage the
product.
If connected to each output, a pull-up resistor must be about
10kΩto pull up with a 3.3V power source.
Each input accepts 5V TTL signals.
This product must be connected with 5VDC power supply (in a
self-powered state). Connect with 5VDC power supply by using
+5VDC input pin.
When using the attached AC adaptor [POA200-20-2], please
connect directly to the input terminals.
When the accompanying power connector (MC1,5/3-ST-3,5,
suitable cable: AWG28 - 16) is used to supply power to this unit,
strip the end of the suitable cable and insert it to the power
connector before firmly securing it using a screw.
Beside the AC adaptor, a power supply for installation on a DIN
rail is also available (as an option). Use the appropriate power
supply depending on the operating environment and application.
When a power supply for installation on a DIN rail is used,
connect the unit using the accompanying power connector
MC1,5/-ST-3,5.

CAUTION
Connect 5VDC power supply to the main unit. Next,
connect the USB cable to the PC. Do not turn it on or off
when using. If you remove, USB cable is first and then
5VDC power supply.
When the USB module is not used, leave the AC adaptor
unplugged.
Continuously using the AC adaptor heated affects its life.
Use the AC adaptor not in a closed place but in a
well-ventilated place not to be heated.
Do not remove the power connector [MC1,5/3-ST-3,5]
attached to the AC adapter.
