Installation and Configuration
This chapter explains how to install and configure your PCI-6023E,
PCI-6024E, or PCI-6025E board.
Software Installation
Install your software before you install your board. Refer to the appropriate
release notes indicated below for specific instructions on the software
installation sequence.
If you are using NI-DAQ, refer to your NI-DAQ release notes. Find
the installation section for your operating system and follow the
instructions given there.
If you are using LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or other National
Instruments application software packages, refer to the appropriate release
notes. After you have installed your application software, refer to your
NI-DAQ release notes and follow the instructions given there for your
operating system and application software package.
If you are a register-level programmer, refer to the PCI E Series
Register-Level Programmer Manual and the DAQ-STC Technical
Reference Manual for software configuration information.
Hardware Configuration
Due to the National Instruments standard architecture for data acquisition
and the PCI bus specification, the PCI E Series boards are completely
software-configurable. You must perform two types of configuration on the
PCI E Series boards—bus-related and data acquisition-related
configuration.
These boards are fully compatible with the industry-standard PCI Local
Bus Specification Revision 2.1. This specification lets the PCI system
automatically set the board base memory address and interrupt channel
with no user interaction.
