Installing and Configuring the Device
How do you set the base address for an AT E Series device?
Windows NT will automatically detect an AT E Series device. However,
you must use the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to assign
the base address. For Windows 95, the base address can be changed in the
Device Manager. For Windows 2000/XP/Me/9x, the operating system
detects the device and preassigns a base address. 0x180, 200, 220, 240, 280,
and 300 are typical base addresses. For operating system-specific
installation and troubleshooting instructions, refer to

switchless.
Which NI document should I read first to get started using DAQ
software?
The DAQ Quick Start Guide and NI-DAQ or application software release
notes documentation are good places to start.
