1.1 Important Notes
1.1.1 Intended Use
The plug-on boards of the ME-5000 series require a base board of the
ME-5000 series and will be plugged onto these and extend the functio-
nality of the base boards. Depending on the PC platform the plug-on
board needs an additional:
• … free PCI Express slot (PCIe) or
• … free CompactPCI slot (cPCI),
however without using the PCI slot connector.
Please follow the instructions of chapter 2.3 on page 12 of this document
and the manual of your computer for the procedure when fitting additio-
nal hardware componets.
Observe the following notes and specifications starting on page 29:
• Make sure that heat can be dissipated from the board well enough in-
side the PC housing.
• Unused inputs must always be connected to the reference ground of
their subdevice, in order to avoid crosstalk between the input
channels.
• When using the configuration „pulse generator“ (FO) unused output
pins should not be connected.
