AT-MIO/AI E Series User Manual
Digital I/O
The AT E Series boards contain eight lines of digital I/O for 
general-purpose use.  You can individually configure each line through 
software for either input or output.  The AT-MIO-16DE-10 has 24 
additional DIO lines, configured as three 8-bit ports:  PA<0..7>, 
PB<0..7>, and PC<0..7>.  You can configure each port for both input and 
output in various combinations, with some handshaking capabilities.
  At 
system startup and reset, the digital I/O ports are all high impedance.
The hardware up/down control for general-purpose counters 0 and 1 are 
connected onboard to DIO6 and DIO7, respectively.  Thus, you can use 
DIO6 and DIO7 to control the general-purpose counters.  The up/down 
control signals are input only and do not affect the operation of the DIO 
lines.
Timing Signal Routing
The DAQ-STC provides a very flexible interface for connecting timing 
signals to other boards or external circuitry.  Your AT E Series board 
uses the RTSI bus for interconnecting timing signals between boards 
and the Programmable Function Input (PFI) pins on the I/O connector 
for connecting to external circuitry.  These connections are designed to 
enable the AT E Series board to both control and be controlled by other 
boards and circuits.
There are a total of 13 timing signals internal to the DAQ-STC that can 
be controlled by an external source.  These timing signals can also be 
controlled by signals generated internally to the DAQ-STC, and these 
selections are fully software configurable.  For example, the signal 
routing multiplexer for controlling the CONVERT* signal is shown in 
Figure 3-14.
