This chapter explains how to install and configure a DAQCard E Series
card.
Installation
Note: You should install your driver software before installing your hardware.
Refer to your NI-DAQ release notes for software installation instructions.
There are two basic steps to installing a DAQCard E Series card.
1. If you have Windows 3.1, you must have Card & Socket
Services 2.0 (or a later version) software installed on your
computer. If you have Windows 95, you do not need Card & Socket
Services. This device is built-in to the Windows 95 operating
system.
2. Insert the DAQCard and attach the I/O cable.
The DAQCard has two connectors—a 68-pin PCMCIA bus
connector on one end and a 68-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
DAQCard and I/O cable are both keyed so that the cable can be
inserted only one way.
Be careful not to put strain on the I/O cable when inserting it into
and removing it from the DAQCard. 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.
Your DAQCard can be connected to 68- and 50-pin accessories.
You can use either a 68-pin female cable to plug into the
PSHR68-68M with your DAQCard, or a 50-pin male cable and the
PSHR68-68M and SH6850 with your DAQCard. See Appendix B,
Optional Cable Connector Descriptions , for more information.
The DAQCard is now installed. You are ready to make the appropriate
connections to the I/O connector cable as described in Chapter 4, Signal
Connections .
