Step 5 Checking Operations with the Diagnosis
Program
Use the diagnosis program to check that the PC card and driver software work normally, thereby you
can confirm that they have been set up correctly.
What is the Diagnosis Program?
The diagnosis program diagnoses the states of the PC card and driver software.
It can also be used as a simple checker when an external device is actually connected.
Using the “Diagnosis Report” feature reports the driver settings, the presence or absence of the PC card,
I/O status, and interrupt status.
Check Method
Please connect analog signals when checking analog input-output data.
The shown below Figures are examples of using 0 channel. See "Chapter 3 Connecting to External
Devices" for details on how to make the connection.
