This chapter describes how to configure and install your 7344 controller.
Install your FlexMotion software, along with your Motion VI libraries (if
appropriate) before you install the 7344 controller. Refer to the release
notes included with your 7344 controller for specific instructions on the
software installation sequence for your host PC.
The motion I/O-related configuration of the 7344 controller is performed
entirely with software, so there are no jumpers to set for motion I/O
configuration.
The PCI-7344 and PXI-7344 controllers are fully compatible with the PCI
Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.1. The FW-7344 controller is fully
compatible with the IEEE 1394 specification. This compatibility allows the
computer to automatically perform all bus-related configuration and
requires no user interaction. There are no jumpers to configure for
bus-related configuration.
You can install the PCI or PXI 7344 controller in any open compatible
expansion slot in your computer. The typical power required for each 7344
controller is given in Appendix A, Specifications.
You can connect your FW-7344 to any available 1394 port. The FW-7344
supports IEEE 1394 transfer rates at up to 400 Mbits/s.
