Installing the PCIe-DAS1602/16

Unpacking

As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the device from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply
touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
Contact us immediately if any components are missing or damaged.

Installing the software

Refer to the MCC DAQ Quick Start for instructions on installing the software on the MCC DAQ CD. Refer to
the device product page on the Measurement Computing website for information about the included and
optional software supported by the PCIe-DAS1602/16.
Install the software before you install your device
The driver needed to run the PCIe-DAS1602/16 is installed with the software. Therefore, you need to install the
software package you plan to use before you install the hardware.

Configuring the hardware

If you are using the PCIe-DAS1602/16 with its default settings, the board is completely plug-and-play. You can
skip these configuration sections and refer to Installing the hardware.
If you are not using the PCIe-DAS1602/16 default settings, you will set one or more switches and jumpers
mounted on it before installing it into your computer. The factory-configured default settings are listed below.
The location of each switch and jumper are shown in Figure 2.
