Range
The CIO-DAS08, PCI-DAS08, and PC104-DAS08 boards do not have programmable gain, so the Range argument to analog input functions is ignored. However, the following are valid ranges for switch settings on these boards, and can also be used with cbToEngUnits()/ToEngUnits().
PCI-DAS08:
| BIP5VOLTS (±5 volts) |
CIO-DAS08 and PC104-DAS08:
| BIP10VOLTS (±10 volts) | UNI10VOLTS (0 to 10 volts) |
| BIP5VOLTS (±5 volts) |
The CIO-DAS08-PGH and CIO-DAS08-AOH support the following programmable ranges:
| BIP10VOLTS (±10 volts) | UNI10VOLTS (0 to 10 volts) |
| BIP5VOLTS (±5 volts) | UNI1VOLTS (0 to 1 volts) |
| BIP1VOLTS (±1 volts) | UNIPT1VOLTS (0 to 0.1 volts) |
| BIPPT5VOLTS (±0.5 volts) | UNIPT01VOLTS (0 to 0.01 volts) |
| BIPPT1VOLTS (±0.1 volts) | |
| BIP1PT05VOLTS (±0.05 volts) | |
| BIP1PT01VOLTS (±0.01 volts) | |
| BIP1PT005VOLTS (±0.005 volts) |
The CIO-DAS08-PGL and CIO-DAS08-AOL support the following programmable ranges:
| BIP10VOLTS (±10 volts) | UNI10VOLTS (0 to 10 volts) |
| BIP5VOLTS (±5 volts) | UNI5VOLTS (0 to 5 volts) |
| BIP2PT5VOLTS (±2.5 volts) | UNI2PT5VOLTS (0 to 2.5 volts) |
| BIP1PT25VOLTS (±1.25 volts) | UNI1PT25VOLTS (0 to 1.25 volts) |
| BIPPT625VOLTS (±0.625 volts) |
The CIO-DAS08-PGM and CIO-DAS08-AOM support the following programmable ranges:
| BIP10VOLTS (±10 volts) | UNI10VOLTS (0 to 10 volts) |
| BIP5VOLTS (±5 volts) | UNI1VOLTS (0 to 1 volts) |

Hardware pacing, external or internal clock supported.
Before using the cbAInScan() function or the AInScan() method for timed analog input with a CIO-DAS08 or PC104-DAS08 series board, the output of counter 1 must be wired to the Interrupt input.
If you have a CIO-DAS08 board revision 3 or higher, a jumper is provided on the board to accomplish this. An interrupt level must have been selected in InstaCal and the CB.CFG file saved.
Polled digital input triggering (TTL) supported. Refer to Trigger support in the Analog Input Hardware topic for more information.
Use pin 25 as the trigger input.
Software pacing only
Since the channel settings and DOut bits share a register, attempting to change the digital output value during an analog input scan may result in no change or unexpected values in digital output ports.
