Zircon-MM-LC, Zircon-MM-DX Analog Input

Max Input Channels: 8 (single-ended)
A/D Resolution: 8 bits (1/256 of full-scale)
Input Ranges (Bipolar, -DX version only): ±5V, ±2.5V, or ±1.25V
Input Ranges (Unipolar, both versions): 0-5V, 0-2.5V, or 0-1.25V
Data Ranges (Bipolar, -DX version only): -128 to +127
Data Ranges (Unipolar, both versions): 0 to 255
Supported Conversion Triggers: Software, Internal Clock, or External TTL Signal
Maximum Conversion Rate (software or interrupt routine): 40,000 (approx.) samples per second

This board does not support programmable input ranges and resolutions. To change these settings, you must adjust the hardware jumpers on the board.

Analog Output (-A versions only)

Max Output Channels: 1
D/A Resolution: 8 bits (1/256 of full-scale)
Output Ranges (Bipolar, -DX version only): ±2.5V or ±1.25V
Output Ranges (Unipolar, both versions): 0-2.5V or 0-1.25V
Data Ranges (Bipolar, -DX version only): -128 to +127
Data Ranges (Unipolar, both versions): 0 to 255

Digital I/O

Max Ports: 3 (bi-directional, programmable in 4- or 8-bit groups, TTL-compatible) based on 82C55

Digital I/O ports on Zircon-MM require direction to be set with dscDIOSetConfig() before use.

All DIO lines power-up in input mode and have readback capability.

All DIO lines have 10K Ohm pull-up resistors.
