Measurement Computing CIO-DAS16/330 - Manual (Page 8)

2.2.5 8/16 CHANNEL SELECT
The CIO-DAS16/330 can be configured for eight differential or 16
single-ended analog inputs. Using differential inputs allows up to 10
volts of common mode (ground loop) rejection and is more immune to
RFI and EMI.
The board comes from the factory with the 8/16 Channel Select switch
set for eight differential inputs (Figure 2-4). Set it for the type (and
number) of inputs you require.

2.2.6 INSTALLING THE BOARD IN THE COMPUTER
1. Turn the power off.
2. Remove the cover of your computer. Please be careful not to dislodge any of the cables installed on the boards in
your computer as you slide the cover off.
3. Locate an empty expansion slot in your computer.
4. Push the board firmly down into the expansion bus connector. If it is not seated fully it may fail to work and
could short circuit the PC bus power onto a PC bus signal. This could damage the motherboard in your PC as
well as the CIO-DAS16/330.
5. Turn the PC power back on and verify proper installation by running InstaCal Test (refer to the Software
Installation Manual for information on running InstaCal.
