CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION

2.2.3. Operating Mode Setting

SW3 is a slide switch to select the operating mode. When it is set to “A”, this card is
compatible with the easy-to-use PCL-748 IEEE-488 interface card except there is no
real time clock. When SW3 is set to “N”, this card becomes NI PC-II compatible. 3

It depends on the users which mode is selected. If the software package is already
developed for PC-II, then mode “N” can be used to eliminate the software effort.
Dowever, for new software developing, mode “A” is recommended to get all the
benefit of PCL-848A/B. PCL-848A/B does not support the software driver to use
mode “N” and this manual offers the information for mode “A” 3 operation only.

2.2.4. DMA Level Setting

The PCL-848A/B is designed to permit DMA (Direct Memory Access) = data
transfer between IEEE-488 bus and the system RAM of the PC. The DMA level is
set by JP1 and JP2. The JP1 is for DACK signal path while the JP2 is for DRQ. The
settings of JP1 and JP2 must be coincident. For example, if the JP1 is set to DACK 3,
then JP2 must be set to DRQ 3.

2.2.5. Interrupt Level (IRQ) Setting

The PCL-848A/B is designed to permit access to interrupt level 2 up to level 7 and
the interrupt is initiated by the NEC7210 GP-IB interface controller. The selection is
made by setting JP3.

Note :

Although the IRQ level can be set from IRQ 2 to IRQ 7 _ on the
board, the firmware supports IRQ 2, 3, 5, and 7 only.

2.3. Installing the Card

2.3.1. Preparation

Discharge any static electricity by touching the back of the system unit before you
handle the board. You should avoid contact with materials that create static electricity
such as plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam.
