PCI-2511 User's Guide
Configuring the hardware
All hardware configuration options on the PCI-2511 are software-controlled. You can select some of the
configuration options using InstaCal, such as the edge used for pacing when using an external clock. Once
selected, any program that uses the Universal Library initializes the hardware according to these selections.
For more information on signal connections
For general information regarding signal connection and configuration, refer to the Guide to Signal Connections
(available on our website at www.mccdaq.com/support/DAQ-Signal-Connections.aspx).
