Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I just purchased a PCI-DIO96H board on eBay for $10. (Brand new with the header cable.) I currently have a CYDIO 48HP I'used last yer with LOR.Anyone know if a PCI-DIO96H with work with LOR software?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 As long as it will run with Measurement Computing's Instacal driver. I'm using a Measurement Computing PCI-DIO24H to drive 24 SSRs.If it's a National Instruments board, I couldn't get one of those to work with LOR. I donated it to the DIY group so they could bug fix their software...jeffEdit for spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 It's a CyberResearch PCI-DIO96H. Guess it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 You Dawg...I was watching that too but wasnt around at the close of the auction. Please let me know if youget it to work. I also have the Instacal drivers if you need them. I currently use (2) ISA PIO-96 cards with LOR and they work great. I had a NI -48 and was not able to get it to work with the Instacal driver. I just worry that someday that PC will die and the ISA cards will be obsolete. Dan will love that since I will have to replace them with LOR controllers.I also have been able to get REL-8 and REL-16 cards work. THey are a mechanical relay device that I have used for low voltage controls. The next thing you will need (after you get it working) is a way to get it to connect to SSRs. This place on Ebay is quite reasonable and I have bought from them before.http://stores.ebay.com/DAQ-STUFF-STORE_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkmJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Joe,I 've been using a PCI CyberReasearch CYDIO 48HP with LOR, works great. For fun I purchased a box of X10 and used a couple with the 48 port CYDIO card. It was intersteing to see both working together.I want to buy some LOR controllers, but with this card selling for $20 for 96 ports I couldn't resist. A couple of years ago I purchased 250 - 5 amp SSR relays for $2.00-$3.00 each looks like I'm going to use for 96 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relic of a PC that I have now has one of the 192-port cyber research cards in it, but of course its ISA. I don't even remember now why I opted for that instead of PCI. Must've been cheaper. I am getting a 'new' hand-me-down PC from work that's a pentium 4 but of course there's no ISA slots.Oh well, last year I was down to running only 32 relays. That's only 2 LOR cards I guess. But it was nice to have this low-cost option for stuff that didn't need to fade or dim.I guess I'll see what I score during the spring LOR sale. I might be getting rid of the CR card and about 100 SSRs. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They change the part numbers a litte but it is all Measurement Computing and it will work.(That was a great deal on an IO card!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
