Retains the Output Values after System Reset

Users can independently set the 12 outputs to different ranges: ±10V and

0~20mA. All ranges are software selectable. When the system is hot reset

(power not shut down), the PCI-1727U can either retain the last analog

output values, or return to its default configuration, according to the

jumper setting. This practical function eliminates danger caused by miss-

operation during unexpected system reset.

BoardID

The PCI-1727U has a built-in DIP Switch that helps define each card's ID

when multiple PCI-1727U cards have been installed on the same PC

chassis. With correct BoardID settings, you can easily identify and access

each card during hardware configuration and software programming.
