Findbase.exe
DOS utility to determine an available base address for ISA bus , non-Plug-n-Play cards. Run this
program once, before the hardware is installed in the computer, to determine an available address to
give the card. Once the address has been determined, run the setup program provided with the
hardware to see instructions on setting the address switch and various option selections.
Poly.exe
A generic utility to convert a table of data into an nth order polynomial. Useful for calculating
linearization polynomial coefficients for thermocouples and other non-linear sensors.

RISCTerm.exe
A dumb-terminal type communication program designed for RS422/485 operation. Used primarily
with Remote Data Acquisition Pods and our RS422/485 serial communication product line. Can be
used to say hello to an installed modem. RISCTerm stands for Really Incredibly Simple
Communications TERMinal.
Installing the Card
The ICOM-2S card can be installed in a long slot of an IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible computer.
Before carefully read the Option Selection and Address Selection chapters of this manual and
configure the card according to your requirements. You can find an unused base address with the
FINDBASE program provided on the CD that came with your card. Finally, our setup program will
lead you through the process of setting the options on the ICOM-2S. The setup program does not set
the options on the card, these must be set by jumpers on the card.
Be especially careful with address selection. If the addresses of two installed functions overlap you
will experience unpredictable computer behavior.
