Configuring the CIO-DDA06

The CIO-DDA06 has one base address switch, one bank of gain switches for each analog output channel, a
simultaneous update jumper for each DAC pair, a "power-up state" selection jumper, and one wait state jumper.
The InstaCal calibration and test program will show you how to set the switches. Run InstaCal before you open
your computer and install the board.
