In addition to this hardware user's guide, you should also receive the Quick Start Guide (available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf). This booklet supplies a brief description of the software you received with your PCI-DAS6402/16 and information regarding installation of that software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware.
Quick-Start.pdf. Installing the PCI-DAS6402/16 The PCI-DAS6402/16 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.
The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CH# IN HI. The second wire is connected to LLGND. Connecting the board for I/O operations The PCI-DAS6402/16 uses a 100-pin I/O connector (refer to Table 2-2 on page 2-4 and T able 2-3 on page 2-5).
PCI-DAS6402/16 User's Guide Installing the PCI-DAS6402/16 Caution! When connecting a cable to the board's I/O connector, make sure that the arrow indicating pin 1 on the board connector lines up with the arrow indicating pin 1 on the cable connector. Incorrectly connected cables can damage the board and the I/O controller.

Calibrating the PCI-DAS6402/16 Overview The PCI-DAS6402/16 provides self-calibration of the analog inputs and outputs, eliminating the need for external equipment and user adjustments. All adjustments are made via 8-bit calibration DACs and digital potentiometers that are referenced to an on-board factory-calibrated standard. The board is fully calibrated at the factory with calibration coefficients stored in nvRAM.

PCI-DAS6402/16 User's Guide Calibrating the PCI-DAS6402/16 The analog output circuits are calibrated for gain and offset. Gain calibration of the analog outputs is performed via DAC reference front-end calibration system. Analog output calibration is shown in Figure 4-2. This circuit is duplicated for both DAC0 and DAC1.
