Unpacking the E-PDISO16
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the E-PDISO16 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 E-PDISO16 arrives already damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by
phone, fax, or email. For international customers, contact your local distributor where you purchased the E-
PDISO16.

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

Quick-Start.pdf .
Connecting the external power supply
Power to the E-PDISO16 is provided with the +9 V, 3 A external power supply (CB-PWR-9V3A). It does not
matter if you connect the external power cable before or after you connect the Ethernet cable. To connect the
power supply to your E-PDISO16, do the following.
1.
2.
Connect the +9 V DC power supply cord to the connector labeled POWER IN on the E-PDISO16 enclosure
( IN on the module). Refer to on page 3-1 for the location of this connector. Figure 3-1
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
The POWER LED illuminates when +9 V power is supplied to the E-PDISO16. If the voltage supply is less
than +6.0 V or more than +12.5 V, the POWER LED does not light.
Do not connect external power to the POWER OUT connector
The power connector labeled
POWER OUT on the enclosure ( OUT on the module) is used to power an
additional Measurement Computing product. If you connect the external power supply to the POWER OUT
connector, the E-PDISO16 does not receive power, and the POWER LED does not illuminate.
Connecting the Ethernet cable
Your computer communicates with the E-PDISO16 remotely via the Ethernet cable. To connect the Ethernet
cable to the E-PDISO16 and to the network, do the following:
1.
2.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet communication port on the E-PDISO16.
Use a standard Ethernet CAT-5 shielded or unshielded twisted pair Ethernet cable.
Plug the cable into your network's Ethernet connection.
The LINK LED illuminates steady green to indicate that you have established an Ethernet connection
between your E-PDISO16 and the network.
