Unpacking the CIO-DAS-TC
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the CIO-DAS-TC from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or
by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
If your CIO-DAS-TC is damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by phone,
fax, or e-mail. For international customers, contact your local distributor where you purchased the board.

Installing the software
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the Measurement Computing
Data Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at

Setting the base address switch
Before you install the CIO-DAS-TC in your computer, set the base address by using the dip switch
located on the board.
The easiest way to set the base address switch is to let InstaCal show you the correct settings. However, if
are already familiar with setting ISA base addresses, you may use the base address switch description
below to guide your base address selection.
Unless there is already another board in your system using address 300 hex (768 decimal), leave the
switches as they are set at the factory. The example shown in Figure 1 shows the settings for the factory-
default base address of 300 hex.

Figure 1. CIO-DAS-TC base address switches
In the default configuration shown in Figure 1, addresses 9 and 8 are DOWN, and all others are UP.
Address 9 = 200 hex (512 decimal) and address 8 = 100 hex (256 decimal). When added together, they
equal 300 hex (768 decimal).
