About This Manual

This manual describes the electrical and mechanical aspects of the

PCI-1200 and contains information concerning its operation and

programming.

The PCI-1200 is a low-cost multifunction analog, digital, and timing board.

The PCI-1200 is a member of the National Instruments PCI Series of

expansion boards for PCI bus computers. These boards are designed for

high-performance data acquisition (DAQ) and control for applications in

laboratory testing, production testing, and industrial process monitoring

and control.

Organization of This Manual

The PCI-1200 User Manual is organized as follows:

•Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the PCI-1200, lists what you need

to get started, software programming choices, and optional equipment,

and explains how to build custom cables and unpack the PCI-1200.

•Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration, describes how to install and

configure your PCI-1200.

•Chapter 3, Signal Connections, describes how to make input and

output signal connections to the PCI-1200 board via the board I/O

connector and details the I/O timing specifications.

•Chapter 4, Theory of Operation, explains the operation of each

functional unit of the PCI-1200.

•Chapter 5, Calibration, discusses the calibration procedures for the

PCI-1200 analog I/O circuitry.

•Appendix A, Specifications, lists the PCI-1200 specifications.

•Appendix B, Customer Communication, contains forms you can use to

request help from National Instruments or to comment on our

products.

•The Glossary contains an alphabetical list and description of terms

used in this manual, including abbreviations, acronyms, definitions,

National Instruments Documentation

The PCI-1200 User Manual is one piece of the documentation set for your

DAQ system. You could have any of several types of manuals, depending

on the hardware and software in your system. Use the manuals you have as

follows:

•Getting Started with SCXI—If you are using SCXI, this is the first

manual you should read. It gives an overview of the SCXI system and

contains the most commonly needed information for the modules,

chassis, and software.

•Your SCXI hardware user manuals—If you are using SCXI, read these

manuals next for detailed information about signal connections and

module configuration. They also explain in greater detail how the

module works and contain application hints.

•Your DAQ hardware user manuals—These manuals have detailed

information about the DAQ hardware that plugs into or is connected

to your computer. Use these manuals for hardware installation and

configuration instructions, specification information about your DAQ

hardware, and application hints.

•Software documentation—Examples of software documentation

you may have are the LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI documentation

sets and the NI-DAQ documentation. After you set up your

hardware system, use either the application software (LabVIEW or

LabWindows/CVI) or the NI-DAQ documentation to help you write

your application. If you have a large and complicated system, it is

worthwhile to look through the software documentation before you

configure your hardware.

•Accessory installation guides or manuals—If you are using accessory

products, read the terminal block and cable assembly installation

guides and accessory board user manuals. They explain how to

physically connect the relevant pieces of the system. Consult these

guides when you are making your connections.

•SCXI Chassis Manual—If you are using SCXI, read this manual for

maintenance information on the chassis and installation instructions.
