Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The PCI-1713U is a 12-bit 32-channel analog input card for the PCI bus. It provides 32 analog input channels with a sampling rate up to 100k samples/s, 12-bit resolution and isolation protection of 2500 VDC.
PCI-bus Plug and Play
The PCI-1713U uses a PCI controller to interface the card with the PCI bus. The controller fully implements the PCI bus specification Rev 2.1. All bus relative configurations, such as base address and interrupt assignment, are automatically controlled by software.
Flexible Input Types and Range Settings
The PCI-1713U features an automatic channel/gain scanning circuit. The circuit, rather than your software, controls multiplexer switching during sampling. The on-board SRAM stores different gain values and configurations for each channel. This design lets you perform multi-channel sampling with different gains for each channel and with free combination of single-ended and differential inputs.
High-speed Data Acquisition
The PCI-1713U provides a sampling rate up to 100k samples/s. It has an on-board FIFO buffer, which can store up to 4K A/D samples and generates an interrupt signal when the FIFO is half full. This feature provides continuous high-speed data transfer and more predictable performance on Windows systems.
Supports Software, Internal and External Pacer Triggering
The PCI-1713U supports three kinds of trigger modes for A/D conversion: software triggering, internal pacer triggering and external pacer triggering. The software trigger allows users to acquire a sample when it is needed; the internal pacer triggers continuous high-speed data acquisition. The PCI-1713U also accepts external trigger sources, allowing synchronous sampling with external devices.
Satisfies the Need for Isolation Protection
The PCI-1713U provides 2500VDC optical isolation protection between the inputs and the PC bus to protect the PC and peripherals from damage due to high voltages on the input lines. It is ideal for the situations where budget-conscious users require flexibility, stability and a high level of isolation protection for their data acquisition system.

Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Initial Inspection
Before installing the PCI-1713U, check the card for visible damage. We have carefully inspected the card both mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks and in perfect order upon receipt.
As you unpack the PCI-1713U, check it for signs of shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or fails to meet specifications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately. Also, call the carrier immediately and retain the shipping carton and packing materials for inspection by the carrier. We will then make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
2.2 Unpacking
The PCI-1713U contains components that are sensitive and vulnerable to static electricity. Discharge any static electricity on your body to ground by touching the back of the system unit (grounded metal) before you touch the board.
Remove the PCI-1713U card from its protective packaging by grasping the card's rear panel. Handle the card only by its edges to avoid static discharge which could damage its integrated circuits. Keep the antistatic package. Whenever you remove the card from the PC, protect the card by storing it in this package.
You should also avoid contact with materials that hold static electricity such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam.
Check the product contents inside the packing. There should be one card, one CD-ROM, and this manual. Make sure nothing is missing.
The PCI-1713U can be installed in any PCI slot in the computer. However, refer to the computer user's manual to avoid any mistakes and danger before you follow the installation procedure below:

Chapter 3 Signal Connections
3.1 Overview
Correct signal connections are one of the most important factors in ensuring that your application system is sending and receiving data correctly. A good signal connection can avoid much unnecessary and costly damage to your valuable PC and other hardware devices. This chapter will provide some useful information about how to connect analog input signals to the PCI-1713U card via the I/O connector.
3.2 I/O Connector
The I/O connector for the PCI-1713U card is a 37-pin D-type connector which you can connect to 37-pin D-type accessories with Advantech's PCL-10137 cable.
Note!: The PCI-1713U does not include the PCL-10137 cable assembly.

Figure 3.1: I/O Connector Pin Assignments
This section continues to describe how to make analog input signal connections to the PCI-1713U card via the I/O connector.
Single-ended Channel Connections
The single-ended input configuration has only one signal wire for each channel, and the measured voltage (Vm) is the voltage of the wire referred to the common ground.
A signal source without a local ground is also called a “floating source”. It is fairly simple to connect a single-ended channel to a floating signal source. In this mode, the PCI-1713U card provides a reference ground for external floating signal sources.

Differential Channel Connections
The differential input configuration has two signal wires for each channel, and the differential input responds only to voltage differences between High and Low inputs. On the PCI-1713U card, when all channels are configured to differential input, up to 16 analog channels are available.

Figure 3.3: Differential Input Ch. - Grounded
If one side of the signal source is connected to a local ground, the signal source is ground-referenced. The ground of the signal source and the ground of the PCI-1713U will not be at exactly the same voltage, as they are connected through the ground return of the equipment and building wiring. The difference between the ground voltages forms a common-mode voltage ( V_cm ).
To avoid the ground loop noise effect caused by common-mode voltages, you can connect the signal ground to the Low input. Figure 3-3 shows a differential channel connection between a ground-referenced signal source and an input channel on the PCI-1713U card. With this connection, the PGIA rejects a common-mode voltage V_cm between the signal source and the PCI-1713U ground, shown as V_cm in Figure 3-3.

Figure 3.4: Differential Input Ch. - Floating
If a floating signal source is connected to the differential input channel, the signal source may exceed the common-mode signal range of the PGIA, and the PGIA will be saturated with erroneous voltage-readings. You must therefore reference the signal source to the AIGND.
Figure 3-4 shows a differential channel connection between a floating signal source and an input channel on the PCI-1713U card. In this figure, each side of the floating signal source is connected through a resistor to the AIGND. This connection can reject the common-mode voltage between the signal source and the PCI-1713U card ground.

External Trigger Source Connection
In addition to pacer triggering, the PCI-1713U card also allows external triggering for A/D conversions. A low-to-high edge coming from EXT_TRG will trigger an A/D conversion on the PCI-1713U board.
Note: Don't connect any signal to the EXT_TRG pin when the external trigger function is not being used.
Note: If you use external triggering for A/D conversions, we recommend you choose differential mode for all analog input signals, so as to reduce the cross-talk noise caused by the external trigger source.
3.4 Field Wiring Considerations
When you use the PCI-1713U card to acquire outside data, environmental noise can seriously affect the accuracy of your measurements if you don't provide any protection. The following suggestions will be helpful when running signal wires between signal sources and the PCI-1713U card.
- Please make sure that you have carefully routed signal cables to the card. You must separate the cabling from noise sources. Try to keep video monitors far away from the analog signal cables, because these are a common noise source in a PCI data acquisition system.
- If you want to reduce common-mode noise, try to use differential analog input connections.
- If you do not want your signals to be affected when travelling through areas with high electromagnetic interference or large magnetic fields, try the following routing techniques: Use individually shielded, twisted-pair wires to connect analog input signals to the board, i.e. the signals connected to the High and Low inputs aretwisted together and covered with a shield. Finally, connect the shield only to one point at the signal source ground.
- Make sure that your signal lines do not travel through conduits, because these may contain power lines. Also, keep your signals far from electric motors, breakers or welding equipment, as these can create magnetic fields.
- Keep a reasonable distance between high-voltage (or high-current) lines and signal cables connected to the PCI-1713U card if the cables run parallel, or route signal cables at right angles to high voltage/current cables.
Calibration

• A/D Calibration
Chapter 4 Calibration
4.1 Introduction
Regular calibration checks are important to maintain accuracy in data acquisition and control applications. To assist users in the A/D calibration process, we provide the Advantech Device Manager, on the PCI-1713U software CD-ROM.
The Advantech Device Manager makes A/D calibrations easy. It leads you through the calibration and setup procedure with a variety of prompts and graphic displays, showing you all of the correct settings and adjustments. This chapter offers a brief guide to these calibration programs.
To perform a satisfactory calibration, you need a 41/2-digit digital multi-meter and a voltage calibrator or a stable, noise free D. C. voltage source.
4.2 VR Assignments
There are four variable resistors (VRs) on the PCL-1713U card. They help you to make accurate adjustments on all A/D channels. Please refer to the following figure for VR positions.

4.3 Board ID Settings
The PCI-1713U has a built-in DIP switch (SW1), which is used to define each card's board ID. You can determine the board ID on the register as shown in Table 4.1. When there are multiple cards on the same chassis, this board ID setting function is useful for identifying each card's device number through board ID. We set the PCI-1713U board ID as 0 at the factory. If you need to adjust it to other board ID, set the SW1 by referring to DIP switch setting.
