Once the proper board settings have been made, you can install the PC-HSICA
card in your computer. CONSULT YOUR COMPUTER’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL
FOR THE EXACT CARD INSTALLATION PROCEDURE.
BEFORE REMOVING THE COMPUTER COVER, BE SURE TO TURN OFF THE
COMPUTER AND ALL PERIPHERAL DEVICES.
IMPORTANT: TO ENSURE PROPER GROUNDING OF THE INTERFACE SHIELD,
MAKE SURE THAT THE CARD’S REAR MOUNTING BRACKET IS FIRMLY
SCREWED TO THE COMPUTER CHASSIS.

NITIALIZATION
IMPORTANT: SINCE PC-HSICA INITIALIZATION (OR “RESET”) MUST BE PER-
FORMED EVERY TIME COMPUTER POWER IS RECYCLED, YOU SHOULD
INCLUDE THE APPROPRIATE COMMAND LINE (see Step 2, below) IN YOUR PC’S
AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE.
To enable the hardware-based handshake provided by the PC-HSICA interface,
you must use the
HSIC.EXE utility supplied with the card. Application of
HSIC.EXE effectively initializes the PC-HSICA board, loading a set of default values
into the UART registers that define the current mode of operation.*
[FOOTNOTE: * This includes the following interface protocol values: BAUD RATE
of 153.6K, 1 STOP BIT, 8 DATA BITS, NO PARITY. To modify any of these charac-
teristics after initialization, see Section 2.e.
To initialize PC-HSICA communications once the card is installed in the computer,
1. Copy the HSIC.EXE file to your hard drive (“C:”).
2. Enter the following command line (via DOS or Windows):
C:>HSIC /c:x
where “x” is the COM PORT NUMBER to which the PC-HSICA has been set via
the HSIC Programming Switches (Section 2.a.3, above). If the COM PORT
NUMBER you enter here is NOT that to which the board has been set, the
software will warn you that this is the case.
Typing only “HSIC” (with no command switch) will invoke a HELP screen.
