5. Insert the 611X E board into a 5 V PCI slot. Gently rock the board
to ease it into place. It may be a tight fit, but do not force the board
into place.
6. If required, screw the mounting bracket of the 611X E board to the
back panel rail of the computer.
7. Replace the cover.
8. Plug in and turn on your computer.
The 611X E board is installed. You are now ready to configure your
software. Refer to your software documentation for configuration
instructions.
Board Configuration
Due to the National Instruments standard architecture for data
acquisition and the PCI bus specification, the 611X E board
is completely software configurable. You must perform two types
of configuration on the 611X E board—bus-related and data
acquisition-related configuration.
The 611X E board is fully compatible with the industry standard
PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0. This allows the PCI system to
automatically perform all bus-related configurations and requires no
user interaction. Bus-related configuration includes setting the board
base memory address and interrupt channel.
Data acquisition-related configuration includes such settings as analog
input coupling and range, and others. You can modify these settings
using NI-DAQ or application level software, such as ComponentWorks,
LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and VirtualBench.
