Device Configuration
Due to the National Instruments standard architecture for data acquisition
and the PCI and PXI bus specifications, all 6703 and 6704 devices are
completely software-configurable. Refer to your software documentation
for configuration instructions.
The PCI-6703/6704 are fully compatible with the industry-standard
PCI
Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0,
and the PXI-6703/6704 are fully
compatible with the
PXI Specification Revision 1.0.
These specifications
allow the PCI and PXI systems to automatically perform all bus-related
configurations and require no user interaction. Bus-related configuration
includes setting the device base memory address and interrupt channel.
