Chapter 1
Introducing the PC-CARD-D24/CTR3
Overview: PC-CARD-D24/CTR3 features
The PC-CARD-D24/CTR3 is a data acquisition and control board for IBM PC compatible computers with
PCMCIA/PC-CARD type slots. The primary functional elements consist of the following:
An 82C55 chip using TTL logic for 24 bi-directional digital I/O channels.
An 82C54 counter/timer chip that has three, 16-bit down-counters.
Under software control, the counters can be clocked internally from a 10 or 1 MHz crystal oscillator,
clocked externally, or chained to yield a 32- or 48-bit counter. Each counter can be gated (disabled) with
an external gate signal
The 24 digital I/O channels are divided into three ports — A, B, and C. Each port has eight I/O channels. At
power-on or reset, the digital lines are set as inputs. The board provides three independently programmable and
functioning 16-bit down-counters. You can access the clock input, gate, and output for each counter.

Unpacking the PC-CARD-D24/CTR3
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the PC-CARD-D24/CTR3 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 any components are missing or 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: [e-mail]
Installing the software
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 PC-CARD-D24/CTR3
The PC-CARD-D24/CTR3 board is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set. To
install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install
the MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on
installing the software.
To install your PC-Card, do the following:
Insert the card into a free PC Card/PCMCIA type II or III slot. The key helps to insure that the cable is
inserted in the correct orientation.
You do not have to turn the computer off. The system is designed for power-on installation. You should
hear an insertion beep when you insert the card.
Figure 2. End view of the 50-pin PC-CARD connector showing proper orientation
Windows automatically detects, recognizes, and configures the PC-CARD. You should hear an insertion beep
when you insert the card into the slot. To verify that the card is recognized, go to Control Panel\System\Device
Manager and the card should now appear under "DAS Component."
If your PCMCIA card is not detected
If the card is not detected by Windows, and you are not prompted for a driver after inserting the card, check
that your computer's 32-bit PCMCIA drivers are installed and enabled. Do the following:
1.
2.
From your desktop, right-click on My Computer and select Properties. The System Properties dialog
opens.
Select the Hardware tab and click on the Device Manager button.

Verify that "PCMCIA adapters" is listed in the Device Manager. If you don’t find this entry, or if the
properties for the adapter indicate "this device is not working," you need to install or update your PCMCIA
adapter drivers.
If the PCMCIA adapter is not listed, use the Add New Hardware Wizard to install PCMCIA support.
If the PCMCIA adapter is listed but not working, use the Update Driver option to install the
appropriate drivers.
After performing the update procedure, reboot your PC and insert your card again.

Chapter 3
Programming and Developing Applications
After following the installation instructions in Chapter 2, your board should now be installed and ready for use.
In general there may be no correspondence among registers for different boards. Software written at the
register-level for other models does not function correctly with your board.
Programming languages
Measurement Computing’s Universal Library provides access to board functions from a variety of Windows
programming languages. If you are planning to write programs, or would like to run the example programs for
Visual Basicor any other language, please refer to the Universal Library User's Guide (available on our web
site at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-user-guide.pdf).
Packaged applications programs
Many packaged application programs now have drivers for your board. If the package you own does not have
drivers for the board, please fax or e-mail the package name and the revision number from the install disks. We
will research the package for you and advise how to obtain drivers.
Some application drivers are included with the Universal Library package, but not with the application package.
If you have purchased an application package directly from the software vendor, you may need to purchase our
Universal Library and drivers. Please contact us 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: [e-mail]
Counter operational modes
The 82C54 counter can be programmed to operate in one of six modes as follows:
Mode 0: Interrupt on Terminal Count. Typically used for event counting.
Mode 1: Hardware Re-triggerable One-Shot.
Mode 2: Rate Generator (divide by N-counter used for real-time clock interrupt).
Mode 3: Square-Wave mode. Typically used for baud rate generation.
Mode 4: Software-triggered counting mode.
Mode 5: Hardware-Triggered Strobe - Re-triggerable.
To program the 82C54 counter, refer to the 82C54 data sheet at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/82C54.pdf.
Register-level programming
You should use the Universal Library or one of the packaged application programs mentioned above to control
your board. Only experienced programmers should try register-level programming.
