Driver Installation We recommend you to install the driver before you install the PCI-1730U/1733/1734 card into your system, since this will guarantee a smooth installation process. The Advantech Device Driver Setup program for the PCI-1730U/1733/ 1734 card is included on the companion CD-ROM that is shipped with your DA&C card package.
Touch the metal part on the surface of your computer to neutralize the static electricity that might be on your body. Insert the PCI-1730U/1733/1734 card into a PCI slot. Hold the card only by its edges and carefully align it with the slot. Insert the card firmly into place. Use of excessive force must be avoided, otherwise the card might be damaged.
(just click the Cancel button) and set up the driver according to the steps described in 2.2 Driver Installation. After the PCI-1730U/1733/1734 card is installed, you can verify whether it is properly installed on your system in the Device Manager: 1.
Device Setup & Configuration The Advantech Device Manager program is a utility that allows you to set up, config- ure and test your device, and later stores your settings on the system registry. These settings will be used when you call the APIs of Advantech Device Drivers.
Configuring the Device On the PCI-1730U Device Setting dialog box (Fig. 2-6), you can configure the IDI00, IDI01 and DI00, DI01 Interrupt trigger mode either as Rising Edge or Fall- ing Edge, and Enable or Disable the IDI00, IDI01 and DI00, DI01.
A good signal con- nection can avoid unnecessary and costly damage to your PC and other hardware devices. This chapter provides useful information about how to connect input and output signals to the PCI-1730U/1733/1734 via the I/O connector. Switch and Jumper Settings PCI-1730U The PCI-1730U card has two function jumper settings.

Isolated Digital Output PCI-1730U provides 16 isolated DO channels. If the external voltage (5 ~ 40V) is connected to each isolated output channel (IDO) and its isolated digital output turns on (300 mA per channel maximum), the card's current will sink from the external volt- age.CN5 provides two EGND pins for IDO connection.
