Chapter 3 Signal ConnectionsPCI-DIO-96/PXI-6508/PCI-6503 User Manual 3-8 ni.comNote Table 3-3 shows both the port C signal assignments and the terminology correlationbetween different documentation sources. The 82C55A terminology refers to the different82C55A configurations as modes whereas NI-DAQmx, Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy),LabWindows/CVI, and LabVIEW documentation refers to them as handshaking and nohandshaking. On the PCI-DIO-96 and PXI-6508, these signal assignments are the same forall four 82C55A PPIs. Refer to Table 3-1 for more information.Digital I/O Signal ConnectionsPins 1 through 48 and, on the PCI-DIO-96 and PXI-6508, pins 51 through98 of the I/O connector are digital I/O signal pins. The followingspecifications and ratings apply to the digital I/O lines. The maximum inputlogic high and output logic high voltages assume a V cc supply voltage of5.0 V.The absolute maximum voltage rating is −0.5 to +5.5 V with respect toGND. For more information on the digital I/O signal specifications, refer toAppendix A, Specifications.Table 3-3.
