1.0 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

The board has switches to set before installing the board in your computer. By far the
simplest way to configure your board is to use the InstaCal

TM

program provided as

part of your software package. InstaCal

TM

will show you all available options, how to

configure the switches 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.

Please refer to the Extended Software Installation Manual regarding the installation
and operation of InstaCal

TM

. The following hard copy information is provided as a

matter of completeness, and will allow you to set the hardware configuration of the
board if you do not have immediate access to InstaCal

TM

and/or your computer

.

2.0 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

The PC104-CTR10HD has one bank of base address switches to set before installing
the board in your computer. The InstaCal program included with the
PC104-CTR10HD shows how to set these switches.

2.1 BASE ADDRESS

Unless there is already a board in your system which uses address 300h (768 decimal),
leave the switches as they are set at the factory.

In the example shown in Figure 2-1, the PC104-CTR is set for base address 300h (768
decimal).
