DAQPad-6713
1.
Connect the 1394 cable from the computer or any other 1394 device to
the port on your DAQPad device.
2.
Connect the power cord to the wall outlet and the DAQPad device.
3.
Flip the rocker switch to turn on the power for the DAQPad-6713. Your
computer should detect your DAQPad device immediately and when
the computer recognizes your DAQPad device, the COM LED on the
front panel will blink once. The power LED should be on.
4.
Configure your DAQPad device and any accessories with the
Measurement & Automation Explorer.

DAQCard-6715
1.
Insert the DAQCard and attach the I/O cable. The DAQCard has two
connectors—a 68-pin PCMCIA bus connector on one end and a 68-pin
I/O connector on the other end. Insert the PCMCIA bus connector into
any available Type II PCMCIA slot until the connector is seated firmly.
The DAQCard and I/O cable are both keyed so that you can attach the
cable only one way.
Note
Be careful not to put strain on the I/O cable when inserting it into and removing it
from the DAQCard. Always grasp the cable by the connector you are plugging or
unplugging. Never pull directly on the I/O cable to unplug it from the DAQCard.
You can connect your DAQCard to 68- and 50-pin accessories. You can use either a 68-pin
female cable to plug into the PSHR68-68M with your DAQCard, or a 50-pin male cable
and the PSHR68-68M and SH6850 with your DAQCard.
2.
Tighten the jackscrews to secure the cable to the DAQCard.
3.
Configure your DAQPad device and any accessories with
Measurement & Automation Explorer.
