Measurement Computing CIO-DAC02/16 - Manual (Page 5)

1 INTRODUCTION
The CIO-DAC02/16 is a dual-channel analog output board having 16 bits of
resolution. One of six output voltage ranges can be individually selected for each
channel. Individual or simultaneous output updates are jumper-selectable.
2 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The board has a variety of switches and jumpers to set before installing the board in
your computer. By far the simplest way to configure your board is to use the
InstaCal
TM program provided as part of your software package. InstaCal TM will show
you all available options, how to configure the various switches and jumpers (as
applicable) to match your application requirements, and will create a configuration
file that your application software (and the Universal Library) will refer to so the
software you use will automatically know the exact configuration of the board.
Please refer to the Extended Software Installation Manual regarding the installation
and operation of InstaCal
TM . The following hard copy information is provided as a
matter of completeness, and will allow you to set the hardware configuration of the
board if you do not have immediate access to InstaCal
TM and/or your computer.
3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The CIO-DAC02/16 has one bank of address switches, two range switches and one
jumper block which must be set before installing the board in your computer. The
calibration and test program, InstaCal, included with the CIO-DAC02/16 will show
how these switches are to be set and may be run before you open your computer.
The factory defaults are:
UPDATE (individual update of DACs) UPDATE/XFER jumper
+5 Volts Output 2 (Ch 1) Range
+5 Volts Output 1 (Ch 0) Range
