Configuring The Board - Keithley DAS-8 Series User Manual

Configuring the Board
Be sure to make note of the configuration of all switches and jumpers on
the board. You will use this information to enter the correct configuration
parameters using DriverLINX. Also locate any information or notes about
the interrupt and DMA channels used by the other hardware devices in
your computer system.
You can configure the following items on DAS-8 Series boards:
• Base address (required by DriverLINX and other software packages
to perform DAS-8 Series board operations).
• Use of C/T2 on the 82C54 (cascaded or normal).
• Input range type (unipolar or bipolar) for a DAS-8/PGA(G2) or
DAS-8/AO board.
• Input configuration (single-ended or differential) for each channel on
a DAS-8/PGA(G2) or DAS-8/AO board.
• Interrupt level.
• DAS-8/AO configuration settings:
Analog output (voltage/current, range)
Output channels data output (normal/simultaneous)
Wait state (enabled or disabled)
• DAS-8/LT configuration for clock selection.
• Expansion boards used (information includes the number of
expansion boards, the gains used by channels on the expansion
boards, and the channel used as the CJC sensor).
Note:
For EXP-16, EXP-16/A, and EXP-GP expansion boards, you
must also set switches on the expansion boards to specify the gains
used by channels on the expansion boards. Refer to the appropriate
expansion board documentation for information about setting the
switches.
