Compatibility Summary for xPC Target Software

Real Time Devices DM6814 - Support for the RTD DM6814 I/O board.

Board

Real Time Devices DM6814

General Description

The DM6814 is a 16-bit counting board with three channels. This board typically connects to incremental encoders. Incremental encoders convert physical motion into electrical pulses that can be used to determine velocity, direction, and distance.

Each board also three I/O ports, with each port containing eight digital I/O lines.

The xPC Target block library supports this board with these driver blocks:

Note The xPC Target software does not support the 12 digital input lines on this board.
