Register Descriptions
The register descriptions for the devices used on the PCI-DIO-96 are
given on the pages that follow. The register description bits labeled with
an X indicate don’t care bits. Always write a 0 to these bits.
Register Description Format
The remainder of this section discusses each of the PCI-DIO-96
registers in the order shown in Table 5-1. Each register group is
introduced, followed by a detailed bit description of each register.
Individual register descriptions give the address (in hexadecimal), type,
data size, and bit map of the register, followed by a description of each
bit.
The register bit map shows a diagram of the register with the MSB
(bit 7) shown on the left, and the LSB (bit 0) shown on the right. A
rectangle with the bit name inside represents each bit.
The bit map for the Interrupt Clear Register states not applicable, no
bits used. The data is ignored when you write to this register; therefore,
any bit pattern will suffice.
