Unpacking the CIO-CTR05
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the CIO-CTR05 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 any components are missing or damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by
phone, fax, or e-mail:

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 www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-
Quick-Start.pdf .
Configuring the CIO-CTR05
The CIO-CTR05 has a base address switch, an interrupt level select jumper, and a wait state jumper which you
must set before installing the board in your computer. The InstaCal calibration and test program included with
the CIO-CTR05 will show you how to configure the board. Run InstaCal before you open your computer and
install the board. The CIO-CTR05 is shipped with the factory-default settings listed below.
Factory-configured default settings
Jumper/Switch Description Default setting
Base address DIP switch for setting the base address 300h (768 decimal)
Interrupt Level Jumper to set the IRQ number you want the
interrupt pulse on
X position (no interrupt set)
Wait State Jumper to enable a wait state OFF position
Before installing the CIO-CTR05 in the computer, verify that the board is configured with the settings that you
want. Review the following information to change the default configuration of a jumper or switch on the CIO-
CTR05 board.
Base address switch
Before you install the CIO-CTR05 in your computer, set the base address by using the dip switch labeled
ADDRESS 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.
