Summary
The PCI-DIO24 Series are low-cost, 24-bit, logic level digital I/O boards for PCI bus compatible computers. Each board is based on the industry standard 82C55 chip, and the 82C55 I/O pins are brought directly to the board’s I/O connector. The 82C55 is a powerful 24 bit chip and functions as two 8-bit ports, (Ports A and B) and a third 8-bit port (Port C) that may be further divided into two 4-bit ports (Port C-HI and C-LO). The CMOS outputs of the 82C55 are suitable for driving a wide array of logic devices.

The PCI-DIO24 Series is connector and software compatible with Measurement Computing's highly popular ISA based CIO-DIO24 Series boards as well as a host of other 8255 based boards from other vendors. The board is also supported by the same wide variety of external relay and solid state I/O module racks as the CIO-DIO24 boards.

The PCI-DIO24H provides a discrete logic emulation of the 82C55 mode 0, but offers significantly higher output drive capability (64 mA sink, 15 mA source). This mode 0 emulation is fully compatible with the 82C55, and code written for 82C55 mode based boards will function perfectly on the PCI-DIO24H.

The PCI-DIO24 Series is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches, or jumpers on the board. All board addresses, interrupt channels etc. are set by your computers plug-and-play software.

Included Software
	InstaCal Installation, calibration, and test software in one package simplifies these important steps as you turn your PC into a measurement system. Installation detects new hardware and configures your computer and board. Calibration software automates this critical step and keeps your measurements accurate. Test routines verify that all the board's features are operating, and will speed you to a quick resolution. If you need to, call our free technical support. Included free with every board.
	TracerDAQ^® TracerDAQ is an out-of-the-box application that allows data to be generated, acquired, analyzed, displayed and exported within seconds of installing Measurement Computing data acquisition hardware. TracerDAQ has been completely redesigned to provide significant performance and feature improvements over previous versions. It now offers four different data acquisition applications; a Strip Chart, an Oscilloscope, a Function Generator and a Rate Generator, all of which are accessed via a common, easy-to-use menu page. TracerDAQ is provided standard with all Measurement Computing PCI-and USB-based data acquisition products to get customers up and running quickly and efficiently.
	ULx for NI LabVIEW™ Advanced Driver for use with NI LabVIEW™ 8.5 – 2011. Allows quick development of instrumentation, acquisition, and control applications with Measurement Computing hardware devices
	Universal Library Programming libraries for Windows® Visual Studio® programming languages, and others. A complete function library to simplify the configuration and operation of your measurement board. A single, universal set of functions operates all our products so you only have to learn to use our library once.

Additional Software
	DASYLab^® Software lets you interactively develop PC-based data acquisition applications by simply attaching functional icons. DASYLab offers real-time analysis, control, and the ability to create custom graphical user interfaces (GUIs). What’s more, in contrast to other graphical programming environments, which can require weeks of training to master, DASYLab has a very short user-learning curve. Many applications can be configured in a few minutes, rather than days or weeks.
	Linux® Support for MCC DAQ Products is available in two different ways. MCC provides direct Linux support for our DAQFlex data acquistion products. DAQFlex products support text based programming for both Windows and Linux. Many MCC products are also supported under third party Linux drivers. These professional drivers provide support for many MCC products including most USB, PCI, ISA, PCMCIA and PC104 hardware. A complete listing of supported hardware as well as driver support is available here ftp://lx10.tx.ncsu.edu/pub/Linux/drivers/
	MATLAB® Support for MCC Products – MATLAB® is a software environment for data acquisition, data analysis, and application development. MATLAB supports MCC hardware by using the MATLAB® Data Acquisition Toolbox™. MATLAB supports the data acquisition and analysis process along with interfacing with data acquisition devices and instruments, analyzing and visualizing the data. It also produces presentation-quality reports to share results with others.
	TracerDAQ® Pro Provides four virtual instrument applications used to graphically display and store input data – and generate output signals – within minutes of installing Measurement Computing data acquisition hardware. The applications allow the user to customize appearance, store configurations for future use, save data to a file for export and – with the use of interactive hotspots – change settings while the application is running.
