Hardware Configuration
National Instruments standard architecture for data acquisition and
standard bus specifications, makes these devices completely
software-configurable. You must perform two types of configuration on the
devices—bus-related and data acquisition-related configuration.
The PCI devices are fully compatible with the industry-standard PCI Local
Bus Specification Revision 2.2. The PXI device is fully compatible with the
PXI Specification Revision 2.0. These specifications let your computer
automatically set the device base memory address and interrupt channel
without your interaction.
You can modify data acquisition-related configuration settings, such as
analog input range and mode, through application-level software. Refer to
Chapter 3,
, for more information about the various
settings available for your device. These settings are changed and
configured through software after you install your device. Refer to your
software documentation for configuration instructions.
