Setup W40PC
The powerful W40PC hardware utilizes two Digital Signal Processors (DSP). Three signal
inputs are available: AF, HF and DIS (Discriminator). With a stable digital synthesizer (DDS)
and a mixer all input signals are translated to base band. The DSP’s demodulate the incoming
signal and automatically synchronize to a valid bit stream. After decoding by a WINDOWS-
DLL, the data is displayed on the user interface.
W40PC Hardware Installation
W40PC I/O Address Settings PC
Note:
The W40PC hardware only requires an address range in the I/O address space of the PC. No
DMA (Direct Memory Access) or IRQ (Interrupt) channels are required.
As one PC at the maximum accommodates one W40PC card, automatic installation (Plug-and-
Play, PnP) is presently not available. PnP will only work with systems equipped with a PCI
bus, and in case of ISA bus systems PnP may cause conflicts. An ISA-bus is available in all
PCs and hence is preferred.
The factory default W40PC address is set to 310 hexadecimal. Already allocated addresses are
known to WINDOWS. To find out the availability of an address is very easy. Use the
following commands:
