BURST RATE is fixed at: CIO-DAS1600/12 = 4

µs (250 kHz) between burst samples.

CIO-DAS1602/16 = 13.3

µs between burst samples (75 kHz).

PROGRAMMABLE GAIN CONTROL: Range and gain is controlled by bits G1 and G0. The codes
have different meaning for each board in the DAS1600 family (Table 6-4).

CODE

BOARD

The range, unipolar or bipolar is controlled by a switch. If your application is better served by
programmable ranges, please consider the CIO-DAS16/Jr or CIO-DAS16/330 boards.

DT-CONNECT NOTE:
To guarantee that DT-Connect is properly initialized prior to any A/D transfer, the DT-Connect
DT-Request handshake line is reset each time this register is written to. Therefore, it is not possible to
use the DT-Connect for A/D sets which involve setting the gain between samples. This is not really a
problem because any such scheme would be low speed and therefore store data to disk, obviating the
need to use DT-Connect to store data on the MEGA-FIFO.
