Chapter 1 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 aside a block of memory in the PC, the PCI-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 da

Chapter 1 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 The PCI-1712/1712L is equipped with three prog
