PCIe-DIO96H User's Guide
Caution! Using an external power supply is not recommended. If external power is used, ensure that the
power supply ground or common is at the same ground potential as the computer power supply.
5. Close your computer and turn it on.
A dialog box opens as the system loads, indicating that new hardware has been detected. The information
file for this board should have already been loaded onto your PC when you installed the Measurement
Computing Data Acquisition Software CD supplied with your board, and should be detected automatically
by Windows. If you have not installed this software, cancel the dialog and install it now.
6. Run InstaCal to test your installation and to configure the pull direction of the digital port resistors.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your board for information on how to initially set up
InstaCal.
Connecting the board for I/O operations
Main I/O connector
The table below lists the board connectors, applicable cables and compatible accessory boards.
Connector type
Compatible cable
Compatible accessory products with
the C100FF-x cable
The PCIe-DIO96H has a 100-pin, high-density Robinson-Nugent male connector. You can use the C100FF-x
cable to split the 100 I/O lines into two 50-pin cables (see Figure 2 on page 14).
Board connector pins 1 to 50 are mapped directly to pins 1 to 50 on the C100FF-x cable's first 50-pin connector.
Pins 51 to 100 are mapped directly to pins 1 to 50 on the second 50-pin connector (pin 51 is mapped to pin 1,
and pin 100 is mapped to pin 50.) A sample C100FF-x cable configuration is shown in Figure 3 on page 14.
Information on signal connections
General information regarding signal connection and configuration is available in the Guide to Signal
Connections. This document is available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/signals/signals.pdf.
Caution! When connecting a cable to the board's I/O connector, make sure that the arrow indicating pin 1
on the board connector lines up with the arrow indicating pin 1 on the cable connector. Incorrectly
connected cables can damage the board and the I/O controller.
