Figure 1-1. Counter/Timer Functional Diagram

Figure 1-1 shows the 82C54 functions, I/O pins and how these are connected on the CIO-DAS800.

The CIO-DAS800 CTR2 input is connected to the PC bus clock/2 or the 1 MHz. crystal signal. The
system default is the PC bus clock.

Software controls the counters that generate the A/D pacing pulse.

Note: A/D conversions are triggered by falling-edge signals. The pulses generated by the 82C54 are
low-going for one count length. The A/D is triggered as the signal goes low. Any A/D trigger signal you
supply externally must also be low-going at the desired moment of A/D conversion.
