Introduction
Valued customer,
Thank you for purchasing this device from Meilhaus Electronic. You

premises in a fully functional and new condition.
Please take the time to carefully examine the contents of the pack-
age for any loss or damage that may have occurred during shipping.
If there are any items missing or if an item is damaged, please con-
tact us immediately.
Before installing the board in your computer, we recommend you
read this manual carefully, especially the chapter describing board
installation.
1.1 Important Notes
1.1.1 Use in Accordance with the Requirements
The PC boards of the ME-series are designed for acquisition and
output of analog and digital signals using a PC. Depending on type,
install the models of the ME-series into:
a free PCI-Express slot (PCIe versions) or
a free CompactPCI slot (3 HE cPCI versions)
For information on how to install a plug-in board, read the manual
of your PC.
Please note the instructions and specifications as presented in
this manual (Appendix, from page 38 on):
Please ensure sufficient heat dissipation for the board within
the PC housing.
All unused inputs should be connected to the ground reference
of the appropriate functional section. This avoids cross talk be-
tween the input lines.
The opto-isolated inputs and outputs achieve an electrical isola-
tion of the application relative to PC ground.
Note that the computer must be powered up, prior connecting
signals by the external wiring of the board.
