Bi-Directional Digital I/O Board for PCI Express

DIO-48D-PE

This product is a PCI Express bus-compliant interface board

that extends the input/output function of bi-directional digital
signal. This board has up to 48 unisolated TTL-level
input/output channels that is powered by the equivalence to the
mode 0 of i8255 chips, and you can use up to 48 channels of
the input signals as interrupt inputs. You can select the
input/output by the application software in eight signals units (in
four signals unit for some inputs/outputs). Additionally, the
digital filter function is equipped with this product.
Windows/Linux driver is bundled with this product.
Using the dedicated library VI-DAQ makes it possible to create
each application for LabVIEW.

* Specifications, color and design of the products are subject to

change without notice.

The standard outside dimension (L) is

the distance from the end of the board to
the outer surface of the slot cover.
Functions are compatible with PCI compatible board
DIO-48D2-PCI.
[mm]
The functions same with PCI compatible board DIO-48D2-PCI
are provided. In addition, as there is compatibility in terms of
connector shape and pin assignments, it is easy to migrate
from the existing system.

LabVIEW is supported by a plug-in of dedicated library

VI-DAQ.
