Introducing the PCI-DIO96 board
Overview: PCI-DIO96 features
This manual provides installation and programming information for the PCI-DIO96 digital I/O board.
The PCI-DIO96 is a 96-bit line digital I/O board. The board provides the 96 bits in 24-bit groups based on the
82C55 specification. Each 24-bit group is divided into three eight-bit ports.
The ports are labeled on the board as PORT #A, PORT #B, and PORT #C, where # is from 1 to 4. PORT #C
can be further 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.
