    Chapter 5 Synchronizing the Analog Input and/or Analog Output Subsystems of Multiple DT9857E Modules As shown in Figure 39, each DT9857E module provides four Sync Bus (RJ45) connectors that you can use to connect and synchronize the analog input and/or analog output subsystems of up to four DT9857E modules.
  • Page 109 Principles of Operation If you want to synchronize all the analog input subsystems of multiple DT9857E modules, use software to specify the synchronization mode of the A/D subsystem of each module as a master or slave. If you want to synchronize the analog output subsystems of multiple DT9857E modules, specify the synchronization mode of the D/A subsystem of each module as master or slave.

    The DT9857 Series Device Driver automatically adjusts the FIFO half-full flag based on the size of the first user buffer on the queue rather than on the size of the A/D FIFO on the module. This ensures that each sample is transferred from the hardware FIFO to the user buffer without any additional time delay.

    Start the DT9857 Calibration Utility as follows: 1. Click Start from the Task Bar. 2. For the DT9857 or DT9857E module, select Programs | Data Translation, Inc | Calibration | DT9857 Calibration Utility. The main window of the DT9857 Calibration Utility appears.
  • Page 136: Calibrating The Analog Input Subsystem

    To calibrate the analog input circuitry, you need to connect an external +9.3750 V precision voltage source to the DT9857 or DT9857E module. Connect the precision voltage source to the first channel you want to calibrate; for example, Analog In 0 (AD Ch0).
  • Page 137: Using The Manual Calibration Procedure

    2. Under the Calibration Settings area of the window, select the sampling frequency, in Hertz, and the gain that you want to use. Notes: The DT9857 and DT9857E modules have two power modes: low power mode and high power mode. Low power mode is calibrated when you specify a sampling frequency less than 52.734 kHz.
