6.1. Basic DC AI Accuracy
The DAQ mode is the normal data acquisition mode commonly found in commercial
DAQ hardware. The basic AI DC accuracy Table 6 of the DAQ mode provides accuracy
entries when PCIe-5111 operates in the single channel mode and within the
indicated calibration temperature range. Please note that this accuracy is valid for
every single point regardless how many sample points you acquire.
Each entry in the basic accuracy table is a pair of gain and offset coefficients. Using these gain and
offset coefficients, your measurement accuracy can be calculated by following formula:

For example, at the 0.625 V range and 24 Hours column, if your measurement or

reading is 0.02V, the accuracy of this measurement is:

The basic accuracy table also provides full-scale accuracy entries for a quick and
convenient look-up. For example, the full-scale accuracy for the 0.625 V range and
the 24-Hour calibration column is 348 µV.
6.2. Basic AO Accuracy
The AO output accuracy of PCIe-5111 when using the analog output function can be
calculated according to the corresponding parameters in the Table 8
Each entry in the basic accuracy table is a pair of gain and offset coefficients. Using
these gain and offset coefficients, your AO output basic accuracy is calculated by
following formula:
  󰇛  󰇜
For example, at the 5V range and 24 Hours column, if your output is 2V, the accuracy
of this measurement is:
󰇛      󰇜   
The basic accuracy table also provides full-scale accuracy entries for a quick and
convenient look-up. For example, the full-scale accuracy for the 5V range and the 24-
Hour calibration column is 285 V.
7. Additional Software Information
7.1. System Requirements
PCIe-5111 series boards can be used in a Windows or a Linux operating system.
Microsoft Windows: Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 10 32/64 bit.
Linux Kernel Versions: There are many Linux versions. It is not possible JYTEK can
support and test our devices under all different Linux versions. JYTEK supports the

V 1.0.4 JY5111 | jytek.com | 18
following Linux versions only.
Table 13 Supported Linux Versions
7.2. System Software
When using the PCIe-5111 series in the Window environment, you need to install the
following software from Microsoft website:
Microsoft Visual Studio Version 2015 or above,
.NET Framework version is 4.0 or above.
.NET Framework is coming with Windows 10. For Windows 7, please check .NET
Framework version and upgrade to 4.0 or later version.
Given the resources limitation, JYTEK only tested PCIe-5111 be with .NET Framework
4.0 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. JYTEK relies on Microsoft to maintain the
compatibility for the newer versions.
7.3. C# Programming Language
All JYTEK default programming language is Microsoft C#. This is Microsoft
recommended programming language in Microsoft Visual Studio and is particularly
suitable for the test and measurement applications. C# is also a cross platform
programming language.
7.4. PCIe-5111 Series Hardware Driver

V 1.0.4 JY5111 | jytek.com | 19
above, you need to install the PCIe-5111 hardware driver.
JYTEK hardware driver has two parts: the shared common driver kernel software
(FirmDrive) and the specific hardware driver.
Common Driver Kernel Software (FirmDrive): FirmDrive is the JYTEK’s kernel software
for all hardware products of JYTEK instruments. You need to install the FirmDrive
software before using any other JYTEK hardware products. FirmDrive only needs to
be installed once. After that, you can install the specific hardware driver.
Specific Hardware Driver: Each JYTEK hardware has a C# specific hardware driver. This
driver provides rich and easy-to-use C# interfaces for users to operate various PCIe-
5111 function. JYTEK has standardized the ways which JYTEK and other vendor’s DAQ
boards are used by providing a consistent user interface, using the methods,
properties and enumerations in the object-oriented programming environment.
Once you get yourself familiar with how one JYTEK DAQ card works, you should be
able to know how to use all other DAQ hardware by using the same methods.
Note that this driver does not support cross-process, and if you are using more
than one function, it is best to operate in one process.
7.5. Install the SeeSharpTools from JYTEK
To efficiently and effectively use PCIe-5111 boards, you need to install a set of free C#
utilities, SeeSharpTools from JYTEK. The SeeSharpTools offers rich user interface
functions you will find convenient in developing your applications. They are also
needed to run the examples come with PCIe-5111 hardware. Please register and
download the latest SeeSharpTools from our website, www.jytek.com.
7.6. Running C# Programs in Linux
Most C# written programs in Windows can be run by MonoDevelop development
system in a Linux environment. You would develop your C# applications in Windows
using Microsoft Visual Studio. Once it is done, run this application in the
MonoDevelop environment. This is JYTEK recommended way to run your C#

V 1.0.4 JY5111 | jytek.com | 20
programs in a Linux environment.
If you want to use your own Linux development system other than MonoDevelop,
you can do it by using our Linux driver. However, JYTEK does not have the capability
to support the Linux applications. JYTEK completely relies upon Microsoft to maintain
the cross-platform compatibility between Windows and Linux using MonoDevelop.
8. Operating JY5111
This chapter provides the operation guides for PCIe-5111, including AI, AO, DI, DO,
Timer and programmable I/O interface, etc.
JYTEK provides extensive examples, on-line help and documentation to assist you to
operate the PCIe-5111 board. JYTEK strongly recommends you go through these
examples before writing your own application. In many cases, an example can also
be a good starting point for a user application.
8.1. Quick Start
After you have installed the driver software and the SeeSharpTools, you are ready to
use Microsoft Visual Studio C# to operate the PCIe-5111 products.
If you are already familiar with Microsoft Visual Studio C#, the quickest way to use
PCIe-5111 boards is to go through our extensive examples. We provide source code
of our examples. In many cases, you can modify the source code and start to write
your applications.
We also provide Learn by Example in the following sections. These examples will
help you navigate and learn how to use this PCIe-5111.
8.2. Data Acquisition Methods
PCIe-5100 uses a scanning method to acquire analog data, meaning there is only one
ADC chip on the device and all input channels share this ADC. In the scan acquisition
