Configuring the PCI-DAS-TC

All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS-TC are software controlled. You can select some of the
configuration options using InstaCal, such as the thermocouple type, CJC on/off, voltage or thermocouple gain,
and temperature units. Once selected, any program that uses the Universal Library will initialize the hardware
according to these selections.
