Setup and Installation
3. Check the remaining contents of your package against the packing list
to be sure your order is complete. Report any missing items,
immediately.
4. When you are satisfied with the inspection, proceed with the software
and hardware setup instructions.
Installing the Software Package
Before you work with the DAC-02 software, copy the software package
diskette either to your computer hard drive or to another diskette. If you
copy the software to your computer hard drive, make a new directory to
contain the software, such as
DAC02
. Store the original diskette as a
backup.
After you copy the software package, read the text file
FILES.TXT
to
familiarize yourself with the contents of the package. Note that the
Windows program CTL02W.EXE, the
Control Panel
, is available for the
operation of your DAC-02. If you plan to use the Control Panel, read the
text file
README.TXT
for installation instructions. If you plan to use the
PORTIO.DLL to write applications in Visual Basic for Windows for
operation of your DAC-02, read the text file
PORTIO.TXT
for information
and for prototypes of I/O functions.
Configuring the Board
The base address is specified through a switch setting. This switch is
located as shown in Figure 3-1.
Note:
When a position of the base address switch is set in the ON
direction, it has zero value. For example, Figure 3-1 shows the switch
positions set for a value of 300h or 768 decimal.
