Preceding Procedure
There are two ways for the PET-7H16M module getting the power. One is
through Ethernet by a PoE switch; the other is as usual through wiring by
an external power.
POE Power Supply
Connect PC to the Ethernet port via the PoE switch.
Connect the power supply to the PoE switch, which supplies power
to the PET-7H16M.

PET-7H16M Quick Use Manual P4
External Power Supply
Connect PC and PET-7H16M to the Ethernet Switch.
Connect the power supply to the switch and PET-7H16M. (The
external power supply should be in the range of +12 VDC to 48 VDC)
Network Settings
The factory default settings for the PET-7H16 network are as follows:
Item
Default
IP Address
192.168.255.1
Subnet Mask
255.255.0.0
Gateway
192.168.0.1
The way to modify the PET-7H16M network configuration settings is
through the HSDAQ Utility.

Introduction to Acquisition and Trigger Mode
PET-7H16M Data Acquisition and Trigger Mode Description
Two data acquisition methods and multiple trigger modes provide
high-speed acquisition of input values of the AI channel. The figure below
shows the corresponding effective operating frequency range for the
acquisition and trigger modes.
Acquisition
Trigger
Continuous
N Sample
Software AD
1 ~ 30 KHz
1 Hz ~ 200 KHz
External CLK AD
1 ~ 30 KHz
-
Post-Trigger
-
1 Hz ~ 200 KHz
Pre-Trigger
-
1 Hz ~ 200 KHz
Data Acquisition and Transmission Mode
1. Continuous transmission
(Maximum sampling rate of 30 kHz
per channel)
2. After collecting N data samples, the
data is transferred to the Host PC
(Maximum sampling rate of 200
kHz per channel)

PET-7H16M Quick Use Manual P8
A/D Trigger Mode
1. Software A/D Data Acquisition Mode
The A/D acquisition parameters are configured via a command from
the Host PC. The continuous A/D acquisition or the acquisition of N
data samples begins after the command is triggered.
2. External Clock Signal Synchronization A/D Conversion Data
Acquisition mode
The speed of the A/D acquisition and the amount of data acquired are
controlled by external electrical signals. A falling edge for each output
waveform triggers an AD conversion
3. External Digital Signal Event Trigger Mode
i. Pre-Trigger (acquisition of N data samples)
The A/D data is continually collected and is temporarily stored in the
memory on the PET-7H16M until the trigger signal is received. Once
the trigger signal is received, the collected N data samples are then
transferred to the Host PC.

PET-7H16M Quick Use Manual P9
ii. Post-Trigger (acquisition of N data samples)
In this mode, the A/D acquisition of the N data samples is started
once the trigger signal is received.

PET-7H16M Quick Use Manual P10
Simple to Use
The HSDAQ Utility can be used to perform simple AI high-speed
acquisition operations. The collected data is automatically stored on the
PC disk and the data is displayed on the chart. This tool can be used as an
entry test and a simple diagnostic.
Steps
1. Execute the HSDAQ Utility. Enter
the IP address of the PET-7H16M
in the following screen and click
the “Connect” button.
2. Set the parameter value of AI
high speed acquisition
2.1. Select Gain, which is +/-5V or +/-10V.
2.2. Select the number of AI channels scanned
2.3. Select trigger mode
0: Software AD Trigger
1: External CLK AD Trigger
2: Pre-Trigger
3: Post-Trigger
2.4. Input Sample Rate (1 ~ 200 KHz)

PET-7H16M Quick Use Manual P11
2.5. Set the number of data acquisition (Sample Count)
The setting value is 0. It indicates Continuous Acquisition mode.
Continue to store data continuously. Press the “Stop” button to
stop the acquisition.
The setting value is greater than 0. It indicates N Sample
Acquisition mode. When the number of acquisition data
reaches the target count, the acquisition will stop automatically.
2.6. After the above steps are completed, press the “Set” button to
write the setting value to the PET-7H16M module.
3. Start AI high speed data acquisition
3.1. Press the Start button. If the setting value of Sample Count is
greater than 0, the acquisition will be stopped automatically when
it reaches the set value. If the setting value of Sample Count is 0,
you need to manually click Stop button to stop.
3.2. Select the folder where the data to be displayed is located, and
the folder is layered to 1.IP address 2. Date.

PET-7H16M Quick Use Manual P12
3.3. Select which data file to display
3.4. The top of the following UI is the waveform diagram drawn by the
data. Below is the data of each channel. Each page displays 1000
data.
