HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

Before an acquisition board can work properly with the DLL driver software, it must be configured correctly.  You must determine the hardware options (input range(s), I/O address, etc.) which suit your particular requirements.  On all ADVANTECH boards, configuration is a matter of setting jumpers and switches. Read the manual that comes with your ADVANTECH board in conjunction with this help to determine how to configure the hardware.   All ADVANTECH boards are shipped with factory default settings.  If the default configuration is appropriate for your system, no additional set-up is required.

Configuring the PCL-730

Configure the base address according to instructions in your PCL-730 user's manual.
