The new OMB-DAQBOARD-3000
Series comprises high-performance
PCI boards offering 16-bit/1-MHz
multifunction synchronous I/O at
very competitive prices. This is
accomplished by incorporating a
high level of integration, while
focusing on features that provide
valuable benefits to users.
The new OMB-DAQBOARD-3000
Series features a 16-bit/1-MHz A/D
converter, 16 analog input channels
(user expandable to 64), up to four
16-bit/1-MHz analog outputs, 24
high-speed digital I/O, 2 timer
outputs, and four 32-bit counters.
All analog I/O, digital I/O, and
counter/timer I/O can operate
synchronously and simultaneously,
guaranteeing deterministic I/O timing
among all signal types. Unique to the
OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series is a
high-speed, low-latency, highly
deterministic control output mode
that operates independent of the
PC. In this mode both digital and
analog outputs can respond to
analog, digital, and counter inputs as
fast as 2 µs; at least 1000 times
faster than most other boards that
rely on the PC for decision making.
Other Hardware Features Include:
Encoder measurements up to
20 MHz, including Z-channel
zeroing;
Frequency and pulse-width
measurements with 20.83 ns
resolution;
Timing mode that can measure
the time between two counter
inputs to 20.83 ns resolution;
Self calibration
For end-users who would prefer the same functionality, but with a USB
module, see the OMB-DAQ-3000 Series.
Software
Software support for the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series
includes support for Visual Studio and Visual Studio.NET, including
examples for Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic, and Visual Basic.NET,
plus comprehensive drivers for DASYLab and LabVIEW.
Also included is DaqView software for quick and easy setup
and collection of data without programming, along with DaqCal
software, an application for easy user calibration.
The new DaqView software that is included with the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000
Series is a comprehensive application that enables setup, data
logging, and real-time data viewing without any programming skills.
The DaqView software also includes additional features such
as direct-to-Excel enhancements, FFT analysis, and statistics.
Signal Connections
One 68-pin connector provides access to the 16SE/8DE analog
input channels, 24 digital I/O lines, 6 counter/timer channels, and up to
4 analog outputs on each OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series board.
An externally accessible HDMI connector is also provided on the
OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series, enabling a simple connection for the
optional OMB-OMB-PDQ30 analog channel expansion module.
In addition to standard screw-terminal options for the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000
Series, the OMB-DBK215 BNC connection module can be
used to provide screw-terminal access to all I/O, plus 16 BNC
connectors that can be user configured.
Analog Input
The OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series has a 16-bit, 1-MHz A/D coupled with
16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs. Seven software-programmable
ranges provide inputs from ±10 V to ±100 mV full scale (single-ended ±10 V range on
OMB-DAQBOARD-3006). Each channel can be software-configured
for a different range, as well as for single-ended or differential bipolar
input. The hybrid PGIA on the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series is
guaranteed to settle to the specified accuracy while operating at the full
1 Msample/s rate.
Analog Channel Expansion
Adding additional analog input channels
for the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series is easy using the optional
OMB-PDQ30 expansion module. The OMB-PDQ30 connects to the
OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series card via an OMB-CA-266-3
cable and does not occupy a PCI slot. The OMB-PDQ30
provides an additional 48SE/24DE analog inputs or 24
thermocouple inputs, software configured on a per-channel basis.
The total channel capacity with an OMB-PDQ30 attached is 64 single-ended
or 32 differential inputs. The measurement speed of OMB-PDQ30
channels is the same 1 Msample/s as with on-board channels.
When configured to measure thermocouple channels, the system
sample rate is 10 kHz per channel. This reduction in sample rate
ensures that temperature measurements are accurate,
low noise, and stable. The OMB-DAQBOARD-3000
Series also supports up to 4 boards installed into one PC,
effectively quadrupling the number of channels that can be attached to one PC.
Synchronous I/O
The OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series can make analog measurements
and read digital and counter inputs, while synchronously generating up
to 4 analog outputs as well as digital pattern outputs. Additionally,
digital and counter inputs do not affect the overall A/D rate because
they use no time slot in the scanning sequencer. For example, one analog input
channel can be scanned at the full 1-MHz A/D rate along with digital
and counter input channels. The 1-MHz A/D rate is unaffected by the
additional digital and counter channels. Many other data
acquisition boards provide no capability to scan digital/counter
channels along with analog channels, in which case digital and
counter channels must be read asynchronously, which leads to a
non-deterministic collection of data.
Input Scanning
The OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 has several scanning modes to address
a wide variety of applications. A 512 location scan buffer can be
loaded by the user with any combination of analog input
channels. All analog input channels in the scan buffer are measured
sequentially at 1 µs per channel. The user can also specify that the
sequence repeat immediately, or repeat after a programmable delay
from 0 to 19 hours, with 20.83 ns resolution. For example, in the
fastest mode, with a 0 delay, a single analog channel can be
scanned continuously at 1 Msamples/s; two analog channels
can be scanned at 500 Ksamples/s each; 16 analog input channels can be scanned at 62.5 Ksamples/s.
OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 digital inputs and counter inputs can be
read in several modes. First, via software the digital inputs or
counter inputs can be read asynchronously at any time before,
during, or after an analog input scan sequence. This mode is not
deterministic as to exactly when the digital or counter input was read
relative to an analog input channel.
In either of the two synchronous modes, the digital inputs and/or
counter inputs are read with deterministic time correlation to the
analog inputs. In the once-per-scan mode, all of the enabled digital
inputs and counter inputs are read during the first analog
measurement of an analog input scan sequence. The advantage of this mode is that the digital and counter inputs do not occupy an analog input time slot and therefore do not reduce the
available bandwidth for making analog input measurements.
For example, assume all 24 bits of digital input are enabled, all
four 32-bit counters are enabled, and eight channels
of analog inputs are in the scan sequence at the full 1 µs/channel
rate. At the beginning of each analog input scan sequence, which
would be 8 µs in total duration, all digital inputs and counter inputs will
be measured and sent to the PC during the first µs of the analog
scan sequence. In the other synchronous mode,
digital inputs are scanned every time an analog input channel is
scanned. For example, if eight analog inputs are scanned at 1 µs
per channel continuously, and 24 bits of digital inputs are enabled,
then the 24 bits of digital inputs will be scanned at 24 bits per 1 µs. If
counters are enabled in this mode, they will be scanned at once per
scan, in the same manner as in the prior example.
Output Timing
The digital and analog outputs on the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 can be
updated asynchronously or synchronously in several modes.
In the asynchronous mode, digital and analog outputs can be updated
at any time before, during, or after an analog input sequence. The
maximum update rate in this mode is non-deterministic and is entirely
dependent on the PC processor speed, the operating system, and
the programming environment. In the synchronous output modes,
the outputs can be updated directly from memory in the PC, or as the
direct result of an input from either an analog channel, digital channel,
or counter channel. When updated from memory in the PC (via DMA),
the rate by which the output can be specified in 20.83 ns intervals, and
all outputs can be updated synchronously at a maximum rate
of 1 µs. For example, all four 16-bit analog outputs can be generating
different waveforms from PC memory with a 1 µs per channel
update rate, while up to 16 bits of digital pattern could be generated
from PC memory concurrently at the 1 µs per 16-bit update rate.
Outputs can also be specified to update concurrently with inputs, so
there is an exact timing correlation between inputs and outputs.
The other synchronous method of output control is where an output,
either digital or analog, is associated with any input—analog,
digital, or counter.
The state or level of the output is determined by the level or state of
an associated input. For example, a digital output could be programmed
to be a logic 1 when an analog input exceeds a certain value, or when a
frequency input exceeds a certain rate. In addition, hysteresis can be
programmed for each limit to ensure the output is stable near the
transition point. Up to 8 digital outputs and 4 analog outputs can
be programmed to respond to any analog, digital, or counter input.
When analog or digital outputs are used in this mode, the user can
specify two output values, determined by whether the input is
above or below the limit. The slowest rate at which an analog
output can respond to an input is 4 µs plus the time period of a scan
sequence. For example, if 4 channels of analog input are
scanned continuously at 4 µs per scan, then the maximum latency
between an analog input satisfying a limit, and the output responding,
is 4 + 4 or 8 µs max. The worst-case response time can also be
improved in several ways. For example, if a digital output is
correlated to a digital input, then the worst-case latency can be reduced
to 2 µs total if all digital inputs are scanned at the 1 µs rate without a
delay period at the end of each scan. In addition, an output status
channel can be specified in the input scan sequence buffer so that
users can correlate output state changes to their respective input
channels within their data buffers and files. Adding the status channel
takes no additional scan time and has no effect on the overall
acquisition rate. The status channel can also be read asynchronously at
any time during an acquisition for monitoring of the control outputs.
The advantage of this mode is that the response time can be in the
range of 2 to 20 µs, vs. 1000 or more microseconds when using
other suppliers’ boards.
Analog Output
(OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 and
OMB-DAQBOARD-3001 only)
Two or four 16-bit, 1-MHz analog output channels are built into the
OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series with an output range of -10 V to 10 V.
Through the use of bus mastering DMA, each D/A output can
continuously output a waveform at up to 1 MHz, which can be read
from PC RAM or a file on the hard disk. In addition, a program can
asynchronously output a value to any of the D/As for non-waveform
applications, assuming the D/A is not already being used in the
waveform output mode. Lastly, each of the analog outputs can be used in
a control mode, where their output level is dependent on whether an
associated analog, digital, or counter input is above or below a
user-specified limit condition. When used to generate waveforms,
the D/As can be clocked in several different modes. Each D/A can be
separately selected to be clocked fromone of the sources described below.
Asynchronous Internal Clock.
The on-board programmable clock can generate updates ranging from
once every 19 hours to 1 MHz, independent of any acquisition rate.
Synchronous Internal Clock. The rate of analog output update can be
synchronized to the acquisition rate derived from 1 MHz to once every
19 hours.
Asynchronous External Clock.
A user-supplied external input clock can be used to pace the D/A,
entirely independent of analog inputs.
Synchronous External Clock.
A user-supplied external input clock can pace both the D/A and the
analog input.
Digital I/O
Twenty-four TTL-level digital I/O lines are included in the
OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series. Digital I/O can be programmed in
8-bit groups as either inputs or outputs and can be scanned in
several modes (see Input Scanning). Ports programmed as
inputs can be part of the scan group and scanned along with analog
input channels, or they can be asynchronously accessed via the
PC at any time, including when a scanned acquisition is occurring.
Two synchronous modes are supported when scanned along with
analog inputs. In the first mode, the digital inputs are scanned at the
start of each scan sequence, which means the rate at which they are
scanned is dependent on the number of analog input channels
and the delay period. For example, if 8 analog inputs are enabled with 0
delay period, then the digital inputs in this mode would be scanned at
once per 8 µs, which is 125 kHz. In the other synchronous mode, the
enabled digital inputs are scanned synchronously with every analog
input channel. So in the example above, the digital inputs would be
scanned at once per µs, or 1 MHz. If no analog inputs are being
scanned, the digital inputs can be scanned at up to 12 Msamples/s.
Digital Outputs and Pattern Generation
Digital outputs can be updated asynchronously at any time before,
during, or after an acquisition. Two of the 8-bit ports can also be used
to generate a 16-bit digital pattern at up to 12 MHz. The
OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series supports digital pattern generation
via bus mastering DMA. In the same manner as analog output, the digital
pattern can be read from PC RAM or from a file on the hard disk.
Digital pattern generation is clocked in the same four modes as previously
described for analog output. The ultra low-latency digital output
mode allows a digital output to be updated based on the level of an
analog, digital, or counter input. In this mode, the user associates a
digital output bit with a specific input and specifies the level of the input
where the digital output changes state. The response time in this mode
depends on the number of input channels being scanned and can
typically be in the range of 2 to 20 µs.
Counter Inputs
Four 32-bit counters are built into the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series.
Each of the four counters will accept frequency inputs of up to 20 MHz,
and each counter channel can be configured in a variety of modes,
including counter, period, pulse width, time between edges, or multi-axis
quadrature encoder. The counters can concurrently monitor
time periods, frequencies, pulses, and other event-driven incremental
occurrences from encoders, pulse generators, limit switches, proximity
switches, and magnetic pick-ups. As with all other inputs to the
OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 Series, the counter inputs can be read
asynchronously under program control, or synchronously as part
of an analog and digital scan group based either on an internal
programmable timer or an external clock source.
The OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 supports quadrature encoders with
up to 2 billion pulses per revolution; 20 MHz input frequencies; and
x1, x2, x4 count modes. With only A phase and B phase signals,
2 channels are supported. With A phase, B phase, and Z index
signals, 1 channel is supported. Each input can be debounced from
500 ns to 25.5 ms (total of 16 selections) to eliminate extraneous noise or
switch-induced transients. Encoder input signals must be within -15 V to
15 V and the switching threshold is TTL (1.3 V). Power is available for
encoders, 5 V at up to 500 mA.
Timer Outputs
Two 16-bit timer outputs are built into the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000,
each capable of generating different square waves with a programmable
frequency range from 16 Hz to 1 MHz. Multiple DaqBoards per PC
All of the features described for the OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 can be
replicated with up to four OMB-DAQBOARD-3000s installed
in the same PC. The serial number on each OMB-DAQBOARD-3000 is
used to differentiate one from another, and a user-selected name
can be assigned to each board for easy program documentation. When
multiple boards are installed, all boards can be operated
synchronously by designating one board as the master. All of the other
boards are then slaves, and are synchronized to the master via the
pacer clock, which is externally routed to the designated slave
boards.
