External clock I/O
The USB-1608GX-2AO-OEM provides one external clock input (AICKI) and one external clock output
(
AICKO) for analog inputs, and one external clock input (AOCKI) and one external clock output (AOCKO) for
analog outputs.
You can connect an external clock signal to
AICKI and/or AOCKI.
When using an external clock,
AICKO outputs the pulse generated from AICKI, and AOCKO outputs the
pulse generated from
AOCKI.
When using the internal clock,
AICKO outputs the ADC scan clock, and AOCKO outputs the DAC scan
clock.
Digital I/O
You can connect up to eight digital I/O lines to DIO0 through DIO7. Each digital channel is individually
configurable for input or output. The digital I/O terminals can detect the state of any TTL-level input. Refer to
the schematic shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Schematic showing switch detection by digital channel DIO0
If you set the switch to the +5 V input, DIO0 reads TRUE (1). If you move the switch to GND, DIO0 reads
FALSE (0).
Pull-up/down configuration
Unconnected inputs are pulled low by default to 0 V through 47 kΩ resistors via jumper
W1 on the circuit board
(see Figure 6).
Figure 6. W1 jumper location
The pull-up/pull-down voltage is common to all 47 kΩ resistors. Jumper W1 is configured by default for pull-
down. Figure 7 shows the jumper configured for pull-up and pull-down.
Caution! The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components. Before touching the
board, ground yourself using a wrist strap or touch the computer chassis or other grounded object
to eliminate any stored static charge.
