1 INTRODUCTION
The PCIM-DAS1602/16 is a multifunction measurement and control board designed to operate in
computers with PCI bus accessory slots. The architecture of the boards is loosely based on the original
CIO-DAS16; the standard of ISA bus data acquisition. Much has changed due to improvements in
technology.
The PCIM-DAS1602/16 is easy to use. This manual will help you quickly and easily setup, install and
test your board. We assume you already know how to open the PC and install expansion boards. If you
are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with board installation, please refer to your computer’s documentation.
This manual will show you how to properly set the switches and jumpers on the board prior to
physically installing the board in your computer.
2. INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
The PCIM-DAS1602/16 has a number of switches and jumpers to set before installing the board in your
computer.
The board has a variety of switches and jumpers to set before installing the board in your
computer. By far the simplest way to configure your board is to use the InstaCal
TM
program
provided as part of your software package. InstaCal
TM
will show you all available options, how
to configure the various switches and jumpers to match your application requirements, and will
create a configuration file that your application software (and the Universal Library) will refer to
so the software you use will automatically know the exact configuration of the board.
Please refer to the Software Installation Manual regarding the installation and operation of
InstaCal
TM
. The following hard copy information is provided as a matter of completeness, and
will allow you to set the hardware configuration of the board if you do not have immediate access
to InstaCal
TM
and/or your computer
.
2.1 BASE I/O ADDRESS & INTERRUPT LEVEL
The PCIM-DAS1602/16 uses a number of addresses (Base Address Regions or BADRs) and one
interrupt. The addresses are allocated by the PCI plug & play procedure and may not be modified. If you
have installed ISA bus boards in the past you are familiar with the need to select a base address and
interrupt level. On PCI systems it is not required to select a base address and ensure that it does not
conflict with an installed port. In PCI systems, the operating software and installation software do the
selection and checking for you.
The computer BIOS selects and sets the I/O address and interrupt level from the range of available
addresses. This address and other information is read by InstaCAL and stored in the configuration file
