CIO-SSH16USER’S MANUALRevision 3October, 2000

IMPORTANT NOTE: The resistors, R1 and R2, are going to dissipate all the powerin the divider circuit according to the equation Current = Voltage / Re

A single ended input has no common mode range because there is only one LOWwire, which is assumed to be at the same level at the signal and at the A/D

Resolution is a measure of the ability to differentiate between one voltage and another.Obviously, the more bits of resolution (13 bits = 8192 counts)

1.0 SOFTWARE INSTALLATIONBefore installing the board, install and run InstaCal. This package is the installation,calibration and test utility included

There are two cables used with CIO-SSH16; a signal cable and a power cable. Thepower cable (C-PCPOWER-10) is supplied with the CIO-SSH16.The power ca

The SSH16 requires 1 Amp of +5 volt power.You may supply this power from the PC, as werecommend, using the cable supplied, or youmay use an alternate
