cards. With the correct Board ID settings, the user can easily identify and access
each card during hardware configuration and software programming.
Reset Protection Fulfills Requirement for Industrial Applications
When the system has undergone a hot reset (i.e. without turning off the system
power), the PCI-1762 can either retain outputs values of each channel, or return to its
default configuration as open status, depending on its on-board jumper setting. This
function protects the system from wrong operations during unexpected system
resets.
Plug-and-Play Function
The PCI-1762 is a Plug-and-Play device, which fully complies with PCI Specification
Rev 2.2. During card installation, there is no need to set jumpers or DIP switches.
Instead, all bus-related configurations such as base I/O address and interrupt are
automatically done by the Plug-and-Play function.
