Installation and Configuration
This chapter describes how to install and software configure the DAQCard-700.
Installation
Your computer should be equipped with Card and Socket Services 2.0 or later. The
DAQCard-700 requires a 32-byte I/O address window and one interrupt level.
This manual assumes that you are using one of the optional cables from National Instruments.
Notice that the cable is keyed so that you can insert it only one way.
Insert the DAQCard-700 and attach the I/O cable.
The DAQCard-700 has two connectors—a 68-pin PCMCIA bus connector on one end and a
50-pin I/O connector on the other end. Insert the PCMCIA bus connector into any available
Type II PCMCIA slot until the connector is seated firmly. Notice that the card is keyed so that it
can be inserted only one way. If your computer supports hot insertion, you may insert or remove
the DAQCard-700 at any time, whether your computer is powered on or off.
The optional I/O cables available for the DAQCard-700 plug into the 50-pin I/O connector and
connect to National Instruments products such as the CB-50 and the BNC-2080. Notice that the
cable is keyed so that you can insert it only one way. Be very careful not to put strain on the I/O
cable when inserting it into and removing it from the DAQCard-700. Always grasp the cable by
the connector you are plugging or unplugging. Never pull directly on the I/O cable to unplug it
from the DAQCard-700.
Figure 2-1 shows an example of a typical configuration.
