Multiple Boards Operation
The maximum installation in one PC system is up to 16 pieces.
This means user can have 64 channels for triggering purpose.
Since the PCI-8124-C is Plug-and-Play compatible, the base
address and IRQ settings for card are automatically assigned by
the BIOS of the system when it is powered on.
When multiple cards are applied to a system, user can select the
unique index number with S1. With this benefit, users can control
each board accordingly without any confusion. For example, if
three PCI-8124-C cards are plugged in to PCI slots, then the cor-
responding channel number on each card will be:
Note:
The index number is not accumulated if you have more than
one board in PCI slot.
