1. Introduction
PCI-AD64SU is a high-resolution high channel count analog input card for the Universal PCI bus.
Its sampling rate is up to 1 MS/s and 16-bit resolution provides the power needed for most data
acquisition applications. PCI-AD64SU provides 64 single-ended, 32 differential analog input channels.
It also has built in a 4k-sample FIFO buffer for analog input data.
The PCI-AD64SU also includes an onboard Card ID that enables the board to be recognized via
software if two or more PCI-AD64SU cards are installed in the same computer.
These cards support various OS versions, such a Windows 32/64-bit Windows 7/8/10. DLL
together with various language sample programs based on Visual C++, Borland Delphi, Borland C++
Builder, Visual Basic, C#.NET, Visual Basic.NET and LabVIEW are provided in order to help users
quickly and easily develop their own applications.

2.4 Analog Input
2.4.1 Analog Input Range
Input Range refers to the set of input voltages that an Analog Input channel can digitize with the
specified accuracy. The PGA amplifies or attenuates the AI signal depending on the input range.
User can individually program the input range of all channels on PCI-A64SU board.
Input rage affects the resolution of the PCI-A64SU for an AI channel Resolution refer to the voltage
of one ADC code. 24-bit ADC converts Analog Inputs into one of 16777216 codes – that is, one of
16777216 possible digital values. These values are spread fairly evenly across the input range.

Description
Software
Trigger
No trigger signal is used
and all A/D operations
are initiated by software.
After the clock signal is generated, A/D data will be recorded and saved to the buffer or the FIFO.
Two clock sources are provided, a software command and a pacer clock.
The saved data can be transferred to the memory on the PC using either software polling transfer.

3Hardware Installation
Note:
It is recommended that the driver is installed before installing the hardware as the computer may
need to be restarted once the driver is installed in certain operating systems, such as Windows 2000
or Windows XP, etc. Installing the driver first helps reduce the time required for installation and
restarting the computer.
To install the PCIe-LM4 Series cards, follow the procedure described below:
Step 1: Install the driver for the I/O board on your computer.
For detailed information about
installing the driver, refer to Chapter
4 Software Installation.
Step 2: Configure the Card ID using the DIP Switch (SW1).
For detailed information about the Card ID, refer to Section 2.2 Card ID
Switch (SW1).

Step 3: Shut down and switch off
the power to the computer, and
then disconnect the power
supply.
Step 4: Remove the cover from the
computer.
Step 5: Select a vacant PCI slot.

User Manual, Ve r. 1.0, May 2021, PMH-033-10 Page 19
Step 6: Unscrew and remove the PCI slot cover
from the computer case.
Step 7: Remove the connector cover from the I/O
board.
Step 8: Carefully insert the I/O board into the PCI
slot by gently pushing down on both sides of the
card until it slides into the PCI connector.

User Manual, Ve r. 1.0, May 2021, PMH-033-10 Page 20
Step 9: Confirm that the card is correctly inserted in
the motherboard, and then secure the PCIe-LM4
board in place using the retaining screw that was
removed in Step 6.
Step 10: Replace the covers on the
computer.
Step 11: Re-attach any cables, insert the power cord and then switch on the power to the
computer.
Once the computer reboots, follow
any message prompts that may be
displayed to complete the Plug and
Play installation procedure. Refer
to Chapter 4 Software Installation
for more information.
