PC Card Questions
and Answers
This appendix contains a list of common questions and answers relating
to PC Card (PCMCIA) operation. The questions are grouped according
to the type of information requested. You may find this information
useful if you are having difficulty with the PCMCIA system software
configuration and you are using Windows 3.1.
Note:
If you are using Windows 95, the operation system will automatically
configure your PC Card. All questions in this appendix are specific to
Windows 3.1, with the exception of question 1 in the Configuration section.
Configuration
1.
What operating system should I use with my PC Cards?
The PC Card should work with Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and
Windows NT. We strongly recommend that you use Windows 95.
2.
Do I need to use my PCMCIA configuration utility to configure
the National Instruments PC Cards?
No. We recommend that you do not configure our PC Cards using
PC Card Control or an equivalent PC Card configuration utility.
Use the configuration utilities included with the NI-DAQ driver
software to properly configure your DAQCard. The appropriate
utility is the NI-DAQ Configuration Utility for Windows 3.1 users.
3.
What should I do if my computer does not have Card and
Socket Services version 2.0 or later?
Contact the manufacturer of your computer or of your PCMCIA
adapter and request the latest Card and Socket Services PCMCIA
driver. Our NI-DAQ software will work with any Card and Socket
Service driver that is compliant to version 2.0 or higher.
