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 DDA-06 software, copy the software package
diskette either to your computer hard drive or to another diskette. To copy
the software to your computer hard drive, make a new directory to contain
the software, such as DDA06. 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 DOS
program UTIL06.EXE is available to facilitate the installation,
calibration, and test of your DDA-06. Note also that the Windows
program CTL06W.EXE, the Control Panel, is available for the operation
of your DDA-06.
If you plan to use the PORTIO.DLL to write applications in Visual Basic
for Windows for operation of your DDA-06, read the text file
PORTIO.TXT for information and for prototypes of I/O functions.
Configuring the Board
The base address and the selection of range, data transfer mode, and
output mode are all specified through switch or jumper settings. Although
the factory settings may be suitable for some installations, check each of
these settings against the needs of your application and make any
necessary changes. The locations of these switches and jumpers are
shown in Figure 3-1.
