HardwareInstallation
Step 1: Turn off your computer and unplug the
power cord and cables
Step 2: Remove the cover of your computer
Step 3: Remove the slot cover on the back panel
of your computer
Step 4: Touch the metal part of your computer
chassis to discharge static electricity on
your body
Step 5: Insert the PCI-1712/1712L card into a
PCI slot. Hold the card only by its edges

1. Introduction
Thank you for buying the Advantech PCI-1712/1712L PCI card. The
PCI-1712/1712Lis a powerful high-speedmultifunctionDAS card for
PCI bus. It features a 1MHz 12-bit A/D converter, an on-board FIFO
buffer (storing up to 1K samples for A/D, and up to 32K samples for D/
A conversion). The PCI-1712/1712L provides a total of up to 16 single-
ended or 8 differential A/D input channels or a mixed combination, 2
12-bit D/A output channels, 16 digital input/output channels, and 3
10MHz 16-bit multifunction counter channels. PCI-1712/1712L
provides specific functions for different user requirments:
PCI-1712 1MS/sHigh-SpeedMultifunctionCard
PCI-1712L 1MS/sHigh-SpeedMultifunctionCard w/oanalogoutput
The following sections of this chapter will provide further information
about features of the DAS card, a Quick Start for installation, together
with some brief information on software and accessories for the PCI-
1712/1712Lcard.

PCI-Bus Mastering Data Transfer
The PCI-1712/1712L supports PCI-Bus mastering DMA for high-speed
data transfer and gap-free analog input and analog output. By setting
asidea block ofmemoryin the PC,thePCI-1712/1712L performs bus-
mastering data transfers without CPU intervention, setting the CPU
free to perform other more urgent tasks such as data analysis and
graphic manipulation. The function allows users to run all I/O func-
tions simultaneously at full speed without losing data.
Plug-and-Play Function
ThePCI-1712/1712L is a Plug-and-Play device,whichfullycomplies
with the PCI Specification Rev 2.2. During card installation, you have
no need to set any jumpers or DIP switches. Instead, all bus-related
configurations such as base I/O address and interrupt are automati-
cally done by the Plug-and-Play function.
On-board FIFO Memory
The PCI-1712/1712L provides an on-board FIFO (First In First Out)
memory buffer, storing up to 1K samples for A/D and 32K for D/A
conversion(PCI-1712 only).
Automatic Channel/Gain/SD*/BU* Scanning
PCI-1712/1712L features an automatic channel/Gain/SD/BU scanning
circuit. This circuit controls multiplexer switching during sampling in a
way that is much more efficient than software implementation. On-
board SRAM stores different gain, SD and BU values for each channel.
This combination lets user perform multi-channel high-speed sampling
with different gain, SD and BU values for each channel.
SD: Single-Ended/Differential Analog Input
BU:Bipolar/Unipolar
Flexible Triggering and Clocking Capabilities
ThePCI-1712/1712L provides flexibilityintriggering action, bothinthe
available trigger modes and trigger events for analog input. You can
acquire data using post-trigger, pre-trigger, delay-trigger and about-
trigger modes. The trigger source could be either analog or digital
signal. The analog trigger could originate from a dedicated input pin.
In fact, you can designate any of the analog input channels as the
analog trigger input. You can also set the analog trigger level within a
voltage range from zero to A/D FSR. When trigger signal being digital,
you can pace A/D and D/A conversion using software interrupt,
internalor external clock.

Continuous Analog Output
The PCI-1712 provides two analog output channels. Both of them can
perform continuous waveform output. The analog output can be up to
500kS/s for each analog output channel. Or you can load a cyclic
waveform into an on-board FIFO, which will continuously output the
cyclic waveform. The on-board FIFO of the PCI-1712 can store 2 to 32K
samples for the waveform output.
On-board Programmable Multifunction Counter/Timer
ThePCI-1712/1712L is equipped with threeprogrammablemultifunc-
tion counters/timers, which can serve as a pacer trigger for A/D
conversion. The counter chip is an 82C54 or equivalent, which
incorporates three 16-bit channels on a 10 MHz clock. And then we
enhance the gate and clock input function for more applications, of
event counting, pulse generation, duty cycle frequency generation,
one shot, frequency measurement and pulse width measurement.
Note:
✎Pace trigger determines how fast A/D conversion will be done in pacer
trigger mode.
✎For detailed specifications of the PCI-1712/1712L, please refer to
Appendix A, Specifications.

vides a concise flow chart to give users a broad picture of the software
and hardware installation procedures:
1.3 Accessories
Advantech offers a complete set of accessory products to support the
PCI-1712/1712L cards. These accessories include:
Wiring Cable
qPCL-10168 The PCL-10168 shielded cable is specially designed
for PCI-1712/1712L card to provide higher resistance to noise. To
achieve a better signal quality, the signal wires are twisted in such a
way as to form a twisted-pair cable, reducing crosstalk and noise
from other signal sources. Furthermore, its analog and digital lines
are separately sheathed and shielded to neutralize EMI/EMC
problems.
Wiring Boards
qADAM-3968 TheADAM-3968is a 68-pin SCSIwiringterminal
modulefor DIN-rail mounting. Thisterminal module can bereadily
connected to the Advantech PC-Lab cards and allow easy yet
reliable access to individual pin connections for the PCI-1712/1712L
card.
qPCLD-8712 ThePCLD-8712 is a DIN-railmountingscrew-
terminal board to be used with any of the PC-LabCards which have
68-pinSCSI connectors. The PCLD-8712features the following
functions:
lOne additional 20-pin flat-cable connectors for digital input and
output
lReserved space on the board to meet future needs for signal-
conditioning circuits (low-pass filter, voltage attenuator and
current shunt)

2. Installation
This chapter gives users a package item checklist, proper instructions
about unpacking and step-by-step procedures for both driver and card
installation.
2.1 Unpacking
After receiving your PCI-1712/1712L package, please inspect its
contents first. The package should contain the following items:
þPCI-1712/1712Lcard
þCompanionCD-ROM (DLLdriverincluded)
þUser’s Manual
þQuickStart
The PCI-1712/1712L card harbors certain electronic components
vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage
the integrated circuits and certain components if preventive measures
are not carefully paid attention to. Before removing the card from the
antistatic plastic bag, you should take following precautions to ward
off possible ESD damage:
lTouch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand
to discharge static electricity accumulated on your body. Or one
can also use a grounding strap.
lTouch the antistatic bag to a metal part of your computer
chassis before opening the bag.
lTake hold of the card only by the metal bracket when removing it
out of the bag.
After taking out the card, first you should:
lInspect the card for any possible signs of external damage
(loose or damaged components, etc.). If the card is visibly
damaged, please notify our service department or our local sales
representative immediately. Avoid installing a damaged card into
your system.
Also pay extra caution to the following aspects to ensure proper
installation:
Avoid physical contact with materials that could hold static
electricity such as plastic, vinyl and Styrofoam.
