OME-PCI-1800H/L and
OME-PCI-1802H/L Series
High-Performance Analog and Digital I/O Boards
The OME-PCI-1800 Series is a
family of high-performance data
acquisition boards for the PCI bus.
It features continuous, 330 kHz,
gap-free data acquisition under
DOS and Windows.
The OME-PCI-1800 family has
two 12-bit D/A output channels, 16
digital input channels, and 16 digital
output channels.
The OME-PCI-1800H and OME-
PCI-1800L provide 16 single-ended
or 8 differential inputs. The OME-
PCI-1802H and OME-PCI-1802L
provide 32 single-ended or 16
differential inputs. The suffix “H”
denotes a high-gain model and the
“L” denotes a low-gain model. The
boards feature advanced scanning
features. The scanning mechanism
not only scans the different input
channels at vastly different rates,
but also at different gains. Even
in multichannel scan mode, the
sampling rates can be maintained at
330 KS/s.
The OME-PCI-1800 Series also
has some outstanding features,
including:
Data transfer rate of digital I/O is
up to 5.4 MB
Throughput of D/A is up to 2 MHz
(maximum)
Three flexible external trigger
modes such as post-trigger, pre-
trigger, middle trigger
True “plug & play” under DOS and
Windows

System Expansion
Several daughter boards are available
that can expand the analog and
digital I/O capability
of the OME-PCI-1800 Series
high-performance data acquisition
boards. These include:
OME-DB-1825, OME-DB-8225, OME-
DB-8025, OME-DB-889D, OME-DB-
16P, OME-DB-16R.
OME-DB-889D 16-Channel
Analog Multiplexer Board
The OME DB-889D is an expansion
multiplexer/amplifier board for use
with OME-PCI-1800H/L boards. Each
OME-DB-889D multiplexes
16 differential analog input channels
into one analog input of the data
acquisition board. The high-grade
instrumentation amplifier provides
software programmable gains of 0.5,
1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000.
Thermocouple measurements are
handled easily with the OME-DB-889D.
The board includes cold-junction
sensing and compensation circuitry
that provides a scaling of 24.4 mV/°C.
Biasing resistors are included for
open thermocouple detection. The
OME-DB-889D can be cascaded to
a total of 128 channels of voltage
measurements or 112 channels of
thermocouple measurement.
OME-DB-16P 16-Channel
Isolated Digital Input Board
The OME-DB-16P is a 16-channel
isolated digital input daughter board
for any of the OME-PCI-
1802H/1802L/1800H/1800L/1602/
1602F/1202H/1202L/1002H/1002L
PCI-bus multifunction boards.

The optically isolated inputs of the
OME-DB-16P consist of a
bi-directional OPTO-coupler with
a resistor for current sensing. The
OME-DB-16P can be used to sense
DC signals from TTL levels up to
24 V and also a wide range of
AC signals. The OME-DB-16P
can also be used to isolate the
computer from large common-mode
voltages, ground loops and voltage
spikes that often occur in industrial
environments.
OME-DB-16R 16-Channel
Relay Output Board
The OME-DB-16R 16-channel relay
output board consists of 16 Form C
relays for efficient switching of loads
by programmed control.
The OME-DB-16R can be used with
any of the OME-PCI-1802H/1802L/
1800H/1800L/1602/1602F/1202H/
1202L/1002H/1002L PCI-bus
multifunction boards. The relays are
energized by applying a 5 V signal
to the appropriate relay channel
on the 20-pin flat cable connector.
Sixteen annunciator LEDs, one for
each relay, light when their associated
relay is activated. To avoid
overloading the PC’s power supply,
this board provides a screw terminal
connection for a power supply.
Software
Development Kit
All data acquisition boards are
supplied with a standard software
development kit for Windows
98/NT/2000/XP. The software
development kit includes DLL files
for programming in C, C++, or other
high-level languages, and OCX
files for Visual Basic or Active X
programming. LabVIEW drivers are
