2.5 Board
ID
When users plug two or more data acquisition cards in one system, it takes a 
lot of efforts to identify one specific card. For easier identification, PCI-7256 
provides a Board ID function. According to a DIP switch configuration located 
in S1, users can assign a board ID to a specific card directly and access the 
card correctly through software programming. For more details about Board 
ID in programming, please refer to chapter 5. 
Table 2.2 shows all of the switch setting conditions.
