Introduction
Valued customer,
Thank you for purchasing this device from Meilhaus Electronic. You
have chosen an innovative high-technology product that left our
premises in a fully functional and new condition.
Please take the time to carefully examine the contents of the pack-
age for any loss or damage that may have occurred during shipping.
If there are any items missing or if an item is damaged, please con-
tact us immediately.
Before installing the board in your computer, we recommend you
read this manual carefully, especially the chapter describing board
installation.
The descriptions in this manual concern PCI-, PCI-Express- and
CompactPCI-versions of the ME-630 series if not otherwise noted.
1.1 Important Notes
1.1.1 Use in Accordance with the Requirements
The PC boards of the ME-6000 series are designed for acquisition
and output of analog and digital signals with a PC. Depending on
type, install the models of the ME-6000 series into:
a free PCI slot (ME-6x00 PCI) or
a free CompactPCI slot (ME-6x00 cPCI)
For installing a plug-in board please read the manual of your PC.
Please follow the notes and the specifications from page 22 on.
Please ensure sufficient heat dissipation for the board within
the PC housing.
All unused inputs should be connected to the ground reference
of the appropriate functional section. This avoids cross talk be-
tween the input lines.
The opto-isolated inputs and outputs achieve an electrical isola-
tion of the application relative to PC ground.
Note that the computer must be powered up prior to connect-
ing signals by the external wiring of the board.
