1. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The board has a variety of switches and jumpers to set before installing the board in your computer. By
far the simplest way to configure your board is to use the InstaCal
TM
program provided as part of your
software package. InstaCal TM will show you all available options, how to configure the various switches
and jumpers to match your application requirements, and will create a configuration file that your
application software (and the Universal Library) will refer to so the software you use will automatically
know the exact configuration of the board.
Please refer to the Software Installation Manual regarding the installation and operation of InstaCal
TM
.
The following hard copy information is provided as a matter of completeness, and will allow you to set
the hardware configuration of the board if you do not have immediate access to InstaCal
TM and/or your
computer
2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The CIO-DAS16/M1 has one bank of base address switches and four jumpers to set before installation of
the board in your computer.
2.1 BASE ADDRESS
Unless there is already a board in your system which uses address 300h (768 decimal), leave the switches
as they are set at the factory. In the example shown in Figure 2-1, the CIO-DAS16/M1 is set for base
address 300h.
