Measurement Computing CIO-DAC04/12 - Manual (Page 5)

1. INTRODUCTION
The installation and operation of the CIO-DAC04/12-HS board is very simple. Use InstaCal TM to help you quickly and easily setup,
install and test your board. We assume you already know how to open the PC and install expansion boards. If you are unfamiliar or
uncomfortable with board installation, please refer to your computer’s documentation.
2. INSTALLATION
2.1 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The CIO-DAC04/12-HS has a variety of switches to set before installing the board in your computer. By far the simplest way to
configure your board is to use InstaCal. It will show you all available options, how to configure the various switches and jumpers 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. Refer to the Software Installation
Manual to install InstaCal.
Details regarding the setting of the switches are shown below.
2.2 BASE ADDRESS SELECTION
Unless there is already a board in your system using address 300h (768 decimal), we recommend you leave the switches as they are set
at the factory. The location of the Base Address switches is shown on Figure 2-2.
In Figure 2-1 below, the base address is shown set to 300h.
