5. PCI-550X SERIES OPERATION
The PCI-550X Series supports most standard TestPoint “A/D Object” settings. In addition an extended
PCI-55XX A/D control object described below is provided to further enhances the A/D data collection
capabilities within TestPoint. For a listing of standard TestPoint A/D object support Refer to the
“Supported TestPoint Software Calls” section of this manual.
The PCI-550x Series of data acquisition boards includes five models; the following table describes the
main differences between these boards:

The PCI-5500MF has 8 single-ended analog inputs multiplexed to a 12-bit A/D converter with maximum
throughput of 100 kHz, two counter input channels, two timer output channels and 16 lines of digital I/O.
The PCI-5501MF has 16 single-ended/pseudo-differential or 8 differential analog inputs multiplexed to a
12-bit A/D converter with maximum throughput of 100 kHz, programmable gains of 1, 2, 4 or 8, two
optional clocked 16-bit D/A voltage outputs, two counter input channels, two timer output channels and 48
lines of digital I/O. An eight 4-20mA current loop input option is available by using the TB-PCI-5500-8CL
screw terminal panel.
The PCI-5502MF is the same as the PCI-5501MF above, but with programmable gains of 1, 10, 100 or
1000.
The PCI-5503HR has 16 single-ended/pseudo-differential or 8 differential analog inputs multiplexed to a
16-bit A/D converter with maximum throughput of 200 kHz, programmable gains of 1, 2, 4 or 8, two
