Installing and Configuring the Device

How do you set the base address for the NI 6115/6120?

The base address of the NI 6115/6120 is assigned automatically through the
PCI bus protocol. This assignment is completely transparent to you.

What jumpers should I be aware of when configuring the
NI 6115/6120?

The NI 6115/6120 is jumperless and switchless.

Which NI document should I read first to get started using DAQ
software?

The

DAQ Quick Start Guide

and the NI-DAQ or application software

release notes documentation are good places to start.

What is the best way to test the NI 6115/6120 without programming the
device?

Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) has a Test Panel option
that is available by selecting

Devices and Interfaces

and then selecting the

device. The test panels are excellent tools for performing simple functional
tests of the device, such as AI, DIO and counter/timer tests.
