The PCI-9812 card from Adlink Technology

The PCI-9812 card is an ADC card with 4 analog inputs and can acquire data with a rate up to 20M samples per second.
The relevant features of the card are:

• 12 bits analog resolution;
• 4 input A/D channels and one digital trigger channel;
• Five trigger modes: software trigger, pre-trigger, post-prigger, middle-trigger and delay-trigger;
• The sampling frequency is software selectable up to 20MHz. Nevertheless a loss of data (depending on the data throughput) is possible at the maximum frequency. A 10MHz setting is therefore recommanded;
• The A/D conversion starts about 350ns after a trigger event and this introduces a jitter that has to be taken into account in the analysis;
• Two input ranges +1V/-1V (select 10 on the Labview driver) or +5V/-5V (select 2 on the Labview driver) are software selectable.

For installation of the labview software drivers and included vi's and suvi's (vi's and subvi's are labview programs) refer to the
 PCI-9812 Labview manual (pdf).
For more information about the vi's and subvi's and the necessary input and output parameters refer to  Labview reference manual for PCI-9812(pdf).

One card is installed in //pcstarb in munich and the necessary driver  in //pcstarb/programme/pcilv/* .
One card is also installed in //pclusa at BNL and the necessary labview driver in //pclusa5/programme/pcilv/* .

The card from pcstarb will be sent to BNL with the new driftmonitors. The replacement card from "Bitzer-Elektonik" will be installed in pcstarb till we get the repaired card back ( current status: no price and no date for the card we sent to Bitzer, June 22, 2001)

The latest labview driver is  Labview-NT-V3.03 (zip).
A newer version of the Labview driver V.31 is available. It is not necessary to install the PCIS-DASK driver for Win NT.
