Retains the Output Values after System Reset
Users can independently set the 12 outputs to different ranges: ±10V and
0~20mA. All ranges are software selectable. When the system is hot reset
(power not shut down), the PCI-1727U can either retain the last analog
output values, or return to its default configuration, according to the
jumper setting. This practical function eliminates danger caused by miss-
operation during unexpected system reset.
BoardID
The PCI-1727U has a built-in DIP Switch that helps define each card’s ID
when multiple PCI-1727U cards have been installed on the same PC
chassis. With correct BoardID settings, you can easily identify and access
each card during hardware configuration and software programming.
