Measurement Computing's PCI-DUAL-AC5 is a 48-bit, high output, digital I/O board for PCI-compatible computers. Primarily designed as a direct interface to the industry-standard SSR-PB24 rack, the board is also highly useful as a general purpose digital I/O board.

The 48-bits of digital I/O are organized into two 24-bit groups based on an 82C55 mode 0 emulation (no strobed I/O or bi-directional I/O bits). Each 24-bit group is divided into three eight-bit ports labeled PORTA, PORTB and PORTC. PORTC can be split into two four-bit nibbles - Port C-HI and Port C-LO. Each of these ports may be individually programmed as input or output.

All inputs and outputs are TTL compatible. The digital output drivers are 74S244 chips that can sink 64 mA and source 15 mA. The input buffers are 74LS373 chips and have standard high input impedance of the 74LS series devices. All I/O is brought out to a 100-pin connector, which also allows connection to the PC's +5 Volt and Ground.

On power up and reset, all I/O bits are set to input mode. If you are using the board to control items that must be OFF on reset, install pull-down resistors. Each board is equipped with open locations where you can install SIP resistor networks for either pull-up or pull-down.

The PCI-DUAL-AC5 board is completely plug-and-play, with no jumpers or switches to set. All board addresses and interrupt sources are set by the board’s plug-and-play software. Board configuration is controlled by your system’s BIOS.

Included Software
InstaCal 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<sup>&reg;</sup> 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&trade; 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 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.

Optional Software
DASYLab<sup>&reg;</sup> 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.

MATLAB&reg; Support for MCC Products 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&reg; Pro 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.
