Installing the hardware
The PCI-DIO48H board is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set on the
board. Configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS. To install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to
install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the DAQ Software Quick Start for
instructions on installing the software.
1.
Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available PCI slot.
2.
Close your computer and turn it on.
If you are using an operating system with support for plug-and-play (such as Windows 2000 or
Windows XP), a dialog box pops up as the system loads indicating that new hardware has been
detected. If the information file for this board is not already loaded onto your PC, you will be
prompted for the disk containing this file. The MCC DAQ software contains this file. If required,
insert the Measurement Computing Data Acquisition Software CD and click

To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility installed in the previous
