Software Installation Please refer to the ADIO software manual, ampdio32manual.pdf, for the latest Windows 32-bit driver installation information. 2.4.1 Windows 95/98/Me Installation The Windows 95 drivers supplied with this card are compatible with installation and operation under Windows 98 and Windows Me. To install the drivers under Windows 95: 1. -
Page 10: Windows Nt4.0 Installation
2.4.2 Windows NT4.0 Installation Please ensure that PLUG n PLAY OS (or equivalent) option on the BIOS settings screen is set to NO or OFF. The driver is installed as part of the set-up process for the remaining software. 1. To install the example software, rerun Amplicon Softman CD and select the 'Access your manual and software' button, and then double click on the '32 bit' software button for the PCI236. -
Page 11: Application Software
Application Software Example application software, including source code for the applications and the DLL are supplied in the self-extracting archive AMPDIO.EXE along with the SETUP program. When the self-extracting archive is run and software is extracted to a suitable directory (e.g. C:\AMPLICON\AMPDIO), the examples and DLL source code can be found in subdirectories off this directory. -

(a) Open the Control Panel, e.g. via ‘Start’ -> ‘Settings’ -> ‘Control Panel’. (b) Double click the ‘Devices’ icon (or open it from the Control Panel’s File menu). (c) Look down the list for the device called ‘AmpDIO’ and verify that its status is ‘Started’. To verify that the driver has recognised the card: (a) Open the Control Panel, e.g. -
Page 13: The Pci Interface
The PCI Interface The PCI263 is a PCI bus slave card. Communication between the host PC and the PCI263 board is via the PCI bus. This bus provides data, address, and control lines together with the power supply for the PCI263. The PCI263 is allocated one Base Address (BA) in the available I/O space. -
Page 14: Electrical Connections
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS This chapter describes the signal and control connections that the user must make between the PCI263 and any external devices. These output connections are made through the D-type connector protruding from the PC adapter slot corresponding to the chosen board position. The metal shell is connected to the local PC chassis ground. -
Page 15: Voltage Outputs Available On Sk1
Voltage Outputs Available on SK1 In addition to the 16 Reed relay contact pairs, the +5VDC PC voltage rail is brought out on SK1 pin 36 with the ground return on pin 37. No more than 100 mA should be drawn from the +5 V rail. -
Page 16: Use Of Shielded Cables
Use of Shielded Cables Pins 1, 18 and 19 of SK1 are connected to the host PC chassis and may be connected to protective ground or a cable overall screen in order to reduce interference problems. A shielded 1 metre cable is available. However if the user manufactures custom cables for use in a severe or noisy environment, it may be considered advisable to use overall shielded cables. -
Page 17: Using The Pci263
USING THE PCI263 This chapter and gives notes for users of the PCI263. The PCI263 is a PCI bus version of the PC263 and is functionally equivalent to it. The differences are in how the software accesses the card. For the PCI263, the AMPDIO software gives access to all the functions of the card and is covered in the programming section of the manual. -

Page 20: Notes For Users Of The Pc263
Notes for Users of the PC263 The PCI263 is a PCI bus compatible replacement for the PC263 ISA Reed Relay card. Where the PCI263 is used in systems previously using the PC263, the user should note the following. Base Address The I/O Base address are assigned by the PC plug and play BIOS, rather than being set by jumpers. -
