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 up jumpers and switches. Read the manual that comes with your ADVANTECH board, in conjunction with this help file 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 application, no additional set-up is required.

Configuring the PCL-813/813B

The following parameters must be configured before the cards can be used with the Advantech DLL driver:

*  Base Address

*  Unipolar or Bipolar jumper (PCL-813B only)
