Register Format

The detailed descriptions of the register format are specified in this chapter.
This information is quite useful for the programmers who want to handle the
card by low-level programming. However, we suggest user understand more
about the PCI interface before starting low-level programming.

3.1 I/O Address Map

The 7256 registers are all 16-bit wide. Users can access these registers only
by 16 bits I/O instructions. The control of the relays and status of the
isolation input is by means of accessing registers. The following table shows
the register map, including descriptions and their offset addresses relative to
the base address.
