Operation Theorem

4.6.2 
Pacer Trigger Source 
The timer #1 and timer #2 are cascaded together to generate the timer 
pacer trigger of A/D conversion. The frequency of the pacer trigger is 
software controllable.  The maximum pacer signal rate is 2MHz/4=500K 
which excess the maximum A/D conversion rate of the PCI-9111. The 
minimum signal  rate is 2MHz/65535/65535, which is a very slow 
frequency that user may never use it. The output of the programmable 
timer can be used as pacer interrupt source or the timer pacer trigger 
source of A/D conversion. In software library, the timer #1 and #2 are 
always set as mode 3 (rate generator). 
4.6.3 
Pre-Trigger Counter 
The timer #0 is used as the pre-trigger counter. The clock source of 
counter 0 is from A/D trigger source so that 8254 can count the A/D trigger 
numbers after the pre-trigger signal (pin-12 of CN3) is inserted. The gate 
control is set when the pre-trigger signal is change from ‘H’ to ‘L’, and 
cleared when the counter is counting down to zero. In software library, the 
timer #0 is always set as mode 0 (event counter). 
4.6.4 
I/O Address 
The 8254 in the PCI-9111 occupy 4 I/O address as shown below. 
BASE + 40 h 
LSB OR MSB OF COUNTER 0 
BASE + 42 h 
LSB OR MSB OF COUNTER 1 
BASE + 44 h 
LSB OR MSB OF COUNTER 2 
BASE + 46 h 
CONTROL BYTE 
The programming of 8254 is controlled by the registers BASE+0 to 
BASE+3. Users can refer to 82C54 data sheet for the descriptions about 
all the features of 82C54. You can download the data sheet on the
