Plug in and power on the computer.
The NI PCI-6110/6111 is now installed. You are now ready to configure the
device. Refer to the software documentation for configuration instructions.
Configuring the Device
The NI standard architecture for data acquisition and the PCI bus
specification make the NI PCI-6110/6111 completely software
configurable. You must perform two types of configuration on the
NI PCI-6110/6111—bus-related and data acquisition-related
configuration.
The NI PCI-6110/6111 is fully compatible with the industry standard
PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2
. This allows the PCI system
to automatically perform all bus-related configurations. Bus-related
configuration includes setting the device base memory address and
interrupt channel.
Data acquisition-related configuration, which you must perform, includes
such settings as AI coupling and range, and others. You can modify these
settings using NI-DAQ or application level software, such as LabVIEW,
Measurement Studio, and VI Logger.
To configure the device using Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX), refer to either the
DAQ Quick Start Guide
or to the
NI-DAQ User
Manual for PC Compatibles
. For operating system-specific installation and
troubleshooting instructions, refer to
