[Figure 4-4. Photo-coupler Input/ Output circuit] The input resistance is 2.4KΩ(ohms) thus the flow current is about 5mA when 12V input is applied and about 10mA when 24V power applied. Maximum operation input voltage is from 9V to max 24V. The output current is limited by output resistance, the output resistance is 1K Ω(ohms). Continuous output current has to be used under 5mA at VCC. The user can change the Input/Output resistance for special operation.

5. Sample Program DAQ system provides a sample program to make the user be familiar with the board operation and to make the program development easier. You can find the sample program in the CDROM accompanying with the board. One of the execution file is “FrmTest.exe”. It stores the frame data to memory or hard-disk and displays it to hexadecimal values which can utilize necessary frame data to developers. The other is “FRM11_Test.exe”. It is easy to understand frame data to display the screen. Before using it, you have to install the PCIe-FRM11 board and its drivers in your computer. Sample program is provided in source form in order to show the usage of API(Application Programming Interface) of the board and may be modified for customer’s own usage.

http://www.daqsystem.com
cPCI-FRM11 User’s Manual (Rev 1.1)
To run the sample application program, you need to use API, it is a form of client DLL. To compile the sample source to make its executable file, you have to use Import Library files and header files. You can find them in the CDROM. To run the .exe file, the API DLL file (PCI_FRM11.DLL) must be in the same directory with the .exe file or Windows system folder. Another method is to add the directory of API DLL file to PATH environmental variable. 5.1.1 Functions related to image Frame (1) ‘DXD810/DXD1417’ Combo-box Use this box to set up the operation mode.
(2) ‘LVDS Init’ button Press this button to initialize the function of receiving image frame data. It is performed only once after power is applied to the board.
(3) ‘Start’ button Press this button to begin to save image data from Camera Link.
(4) ‘FRAME Read’ button Press this button to read the image frame data of the board to your PC.
If image frame data is not
saved on the board, you must wait until the end of data collection.
(5) ‘LVDS Close’ button Press this button to finish usage of the board and terminate the program.
(6) ‘Save to’ button Press this button to save the image frame data.
5.1.2 Functions related to UART (1) ‘Send Serial Data’ button Press this button to send the data in the editor box to UART. You can directly write the data in the editor box by the button.
(2) ‘Get Serial Data’ button Press this button to get the data on the general UART.

(3) ‘Clear Serial Data’ button Press this button to clear the contents of the editor box.
(4) ‘Start Timer’ button Press this button to start the timer. The sample program will read the UART data periodically. The reading interval is around 0.1s.
(5) ‘Stop Timer’ button Press this button to stop the timer.
(6) ‘UART Init’ button Press this button to initialize UART. It must be performed only once after power is applied to the board.
(7) ‘UART Close’ button Press this button to finish usage of the board and terminate the program.
5.1.3 Functions related to DIO (1) ‘DIO Read’ button Press this button to read the data on General Purpose I/O port. It will be written an editor box.

6. Test 6.1 Receiving the image frame data In this chapter, the functional test will be explained to discriminate board mal-functions and for the user being familiar with the operation of the board. It is performed using the sample program “FrmTest.exe”.
[Figure 6-1. Equipment Connection for Testing]
Figure [6-1] shows connection of the equipments. If you have real camera or a frame source, you can use it. At this connected state, turn the all power on and execute test program (“FrmTest.exe”) on the PC. Follow the steps to test the function of receiving image frame data.
Step 1. :
Press the “LVDS init” button to initialize the LVDS circuit and then press the “Start” button to save Image Frame data.
Step 2 : Press the “Frame Read” button. Then data are displayed on editor box. Compare the contents of the editor box with the data of the Image Frame Simulator. Comparison can be performed using the “Save to” button. It saves the contents of the editor box to a file. -24-

6.2 UART Tx/Rx Test At the above connection stage, make the image frame simulator to send UART data periodically.
Step 1 :
Press the “UART init” button to initialize the UART and then press the “Start Timer” to get the UART data from the Image Frame Simulator. Then the gotten data are displayed on the editor box below the button. Compare the contents of the editor box with the data of the Image Frame Simulator.
Step 2 :
Write the data to the editor box beside the “Send Serial Data” button and press the “Send Serial Data” button to send it to the Image Frame Simulator via the UART. Compare the data on the editor box with that of the Image Frame Simulator.
6.3 DIO Input/Output test Continue the test from the previous stage.
Step 1 :
After to make all the output port “1’’ using “DIO Write” function of the test program, check the output state using the oscilloscope. To check photo-coupler output, you have to prepare some external circuit.
Step 2 :
Using “DIO read” function, read out each input state. To make some activation of the photo-coupler input, you need to prepare some external circuit.
