Configuring the PCI-DAS1602/12
All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS1602/12 are software controlled. You can select some of
the configuration options using InstaCal, such as the analog input configuration (16 single-ended or eight
differential channels), the edge used for triggering when using an external pacer, and the counter source. Once
selected, any program that uses the Universal Library initializes the hardware according to these selections.
