We recommend that you use the Universal Library for controlling your board. Only experienced programmers
should attempt register level-programming. If you must use register-level programming in your application,
refer to the Register Map for the PCI-CTR05. This document is available on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/registermaps/RegMapPCI-CTR05.pdf.

Chapter 1
Introducing the PCI-CTR05
The PCI-CTR05 is a high-performance, low-cost counter/timer board for PCI bus-compatible computers.
The PCI-CTR05 is based on the 9513 counter/timer device. The PCI-CTR05 has one 9513 counter/timer device.
The 9513 device has five independent 16-bit counters (65,536 counts). Each counter has an input source, count
register, load register, hold register, alarm register, output, and gate associated with each counter.
The 9513 is software-programmable for event counting, pulse and frequency measurement, alarm comparisons,
and other input functions. The 9513 can generate frequencies with either complex duty cycles, or with one-shot
and continuous-output modes. You can chain up to five 9513 counters together using software to enable a 32-,
48-, 64-, or 80-bit counter that does not require hardware connections. The gate source and gating functions are
software-selectable.
An eight-bit, high-current digital output port provides logic-level control, and can be used to switch solid state
relays. An eight-bit digital input port can be used to sense contact closures and other TTL level signals. The
PCI-CTR05 also provides access to the PCI bus interrupt assigned to the board.
Depending on the revision of your PCI-CTR05, it may support both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI signaling environments,
or only 5 V PCI signaling environments. Refer to Installing the hardware to learn how to determine the PCI
signaling environments your board supports.
For more information on the 9513 counter/timer, refer to the 9513 data sheet. This document is available at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFs/Manuals/9513A.pdf.

Installing the PCI-CTR05
What comes with your shipment?
As you unpack your board, make sure that the following components are included.
Hardware
PCI-CTR05
Documentation
In addition to this hardware user's guide, a Quick Start Guide booklet is included with the PCI-CTR05
shipment. This booklet provides an overview of the MCC DAQ software you received with the device, and
includes information about installing the software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any
software or hardware.
Optional components
Cables
C37FF-x C37FFS-x
Signal termination and conditioning accessories
MCC provides signal termination and signal conditioning products for use with the PCI-CTR05. Refer to
Field wiring, signal termination and conditioning for a complete list of compatible accessory products.

Unpacking
As with any electronic device, take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before
removing thePCI-CTR05 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the
computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
If the device is damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by phone, fax, or e-mail.
Phone: [phone] and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support.
Fax: [phone] to the attention of Tech Support
Email: [email protected]
For international customers, contact your local distributor. Refer to the "International Distributors" section on
our web site at www.mccdaq.com/contact2.aspx.
Installing the software
Install Universal Library and InstaCal when you want to develop data acquisition applications using Windows
programming languages. Universal Library and InstaCal software are included on the CD that ships with the
board.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the Measurement Computing Data
Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFs/Manuals/DAQ-
Software-Quick-Start.pdf
Installing the hardware
The PCI-CTR05 board is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set on the board.
Configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS.
Examine your board to determine it supports 3.3 V signaling environments
Before you install the board, examine it to determine if it supports both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI signaling
environments.
If the board has two notches on its PCI connector, it supports both 3.3 V or 5 V PCI signaling environments.
Supports both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI signaling environments
If the board has one notch on the PCI connector, it supports only 5 V PCI signaling environments.
Hardware specifications for this version of the board are available on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFs/specs/PCI-CTR05r2_spec2-spec.pdf.
Supports only 5 V PCI signaling environments

To install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the software before you install your board
The driver needed to run the PCI-CTR05 is installed when you install the software. Therefore, you need to
install the software before you install the hardware.
1. Power off and unplug the computer, and remove the cover to expose the expansion slots.
2. Touch any metal part of the computer to discharge static electricity. Static electricity can damage the board.
3. Insert your board into an available PCI slot.
4. Close your computer and turn it on.
A dialog box opens as the system loads, indicating that new hardware has been detected. The information
file for this board should have already been loaded onto your PC when you installed the software CD
supplied with your board, and should be detected automatically by Windows. If you have not installed this
software, cancel the dialog, install the software, and restart your computer.
5. Run InstaCal to test your installation and to configure the board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came
with your board for information on how to initially set up InstaCal.
Allow your computer to warm up for at least 15 minutes before acquiring data. The high speed components
used on the board generate heat, and it takes this amount of time for a board to reach steady state if it has been
powered off for a significant amount of time.
Connecting the board for I/O operations
The table below lists the board connectors, applicable cables and compatible accessory boards.
