The Amplicon Liveline PCI215 is a versatile digital I/O and counter/timer board designed for PCI bus systems, offering robust data acquisition, control, and automation capabilities for industrial and laboratory environments. This half-length PCI v2.1 card provides 48 bits of flexible, programmable digital I/O and six 16-bit counter/timers, making it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring precise signal handling and data manipulation.
### Technical Specifications
* **Digital I/O:**
* 48 lines of TTL compatible digital I/O.
* Two 82C55 Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) chips.
* Each PPI provides three 8-bit ports (A, B, and C).
* Port C can be split into two 4-bit ports.
* Each port can be independently configured for input or output via the control register.
* Individual ports can be independently powered by a 24Vdc supply for specific output configurations.
* Optional expansion via the Amplicon EX200 range of digital I/O signal conditioning panels for relay outputs and isolated inputs.
* **Counter/Timers:**
* Six 16-bit counter/timers.
* Operates under the control of a 10MHz crystal clock oscillator, with selectable rates.
* Each counter/timer has six programmable counter modes, including:
* Interrupt on Terminal Count
* Hardware Re-triggerable One-Shot
* Rate Generator
* Square Wave Generation
* Software Triggered Mode
* Hardware Triggered Strobe (Re-triggerable)
* Support for countdown, stopwatch, frequency/period measurement, frequency generation, square wave output, and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output.
* Clock input can be configured for an external source.
* **PCI Interface:**
* PCI Bus version 2.1 compatible.
* 32-bit, 5V PCI compatible.
* Plug and Play interface for simplified installation.
* **Electrical Characteristics:**
* Powered by the 5V supply from the host PC.
* The 5V supply rail is available for external use via the I/O connector.
* Counter outputs: Low output voltage +0.4V max at +2.5mA.
### Interfaces
* **Digital I/O Connector:** High-density 78-way D-type connector.
* **Expansion Options:** Compatible with Amplicon EX200 range of digital I/O signal conditioning panels.
### Physical
* **Form Factor:** Half-length PCI card.
* **Dimensions:** (Not explicitly stated in available documentation, but compatible with standard half-length PCI slots).
### Compatibility
* **Operating Systems:**
* Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista.
* Linux (Comedi drivers available from www.comedi.org).
* **Host Computer:** Requires a PC compatible computer with a single PCI Bus version 2.1 slot and sufficient physical space.
* **Software Support:**
* Windows device drivers included.
* Amplicon ADIO software manual and example programs with source code.
* Programming language examples for Visual Basic, VB.Net, C#.Net, Delphi, Agilent/HP VEE, C/C++.
* LabVIEW drivers are also available.
* **Backward Compatibility:** Backwards compatible with PC215E and PC214E.
