Measurement Computing CIO-PDMAxx - Manual (Page 6)

2.0 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Before you open your computer and install the board, install and run InstaCal, the
installation, calibration and test utility included with your board. If you are using the
CIO-PDMA32, install the 32 bit version of InstaCal (for Windows 95, 98 and NT).
InstaCal will guide you through switch and jumper settings for your board. Detailed
information regarding these settings can be found below. Refer to the Software
Installation Manual for InstaCal installation instructions.
Installation varies only slightly between the CIO-PDMA16 and the CIO-PDMA32
board. Both boards can be configured by running the InstaCal
TM installation,
calibration and test program, then verifying. If necessary, you can change the default
base address using on-board dip switches before installing the board.
If you will be using the Universal Library with the CIO-PDMA32, please note that the
CIO-PDMA32 board is not currently supported by the 16-bit library. You should
install the 32 bit version. Please contact the factory if you require 16-bit library
support.
3.0 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The CIO-PDMA16 has a bank of DIP switches for setting the base address and a Wait
State jumper. The jumper won’t need to be changed before installing the board but the
base address switches may. The CIO-PDMA32 has only the base address switches.
The procedure for setting the base address switch bank is very similar on both boards.
3.1 SETTING THE BASE ADDRESS SWITCHES
Before installing the CIO-PDMA board, you may need to set the base address by
using the dip switches located on the board. However, unless there is another board in
your system using address 300 hex (768 decimal), leave the switches as set at the
factory. If you are unfamiliar with this operation, you can use InstaCal to show you
how to enter the correct switch settings.
If are already familiar with setting ISA base addresses, use the base address switch
graphic in Figure 3-1 and 3-2 below to help you set the switches.
