Getting Started with Your PCI/PXI-6810 SDA
Chapter
2
Configuration and
Installation
This chapter explains how to configure and install the 6810 hardware
and software, and how to use the 6810 soft front panel.
Configuring Your 6810 Device
For most applications, the 6810 hardware is factory-configured for
proper operation. You control and set up the 6810 features through the
soft front panel.
Alternate Low-Voltage Power Switch
By default, the hardware supplies its own internal 5 V power to these
transceivers. The only user-selectable option on the 6810 hardware is a
switch that supplies power to the eight general-purpose DIO signals
from an external power source. See Figures 2-1 and 2-2 for the switch
location and proper settings.
