Introduction Chapter 1 Register-Level Programming The final option for programming any National Instruments DAQ hardware is to write register- level software. Writing register-level programming software can be very time-consuming and inefficient, and is not recommended for most users. Even if you are an experienced register-level programmer, consider using NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or LabWindows/CVI to program your National Instruments DAQ hardware. Using the NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or LabWindows/CVI software i

Chapter 1 Introduction The CB-100 is useful for initial prototyping of an application or in situations where PC-DIO-96 interconnections are frequently changed. Once a final field wiring scheme has been developed, however, you may want to develop your own cable. This section contains information for the design of custom cables. The PC-DIO-96 I/O connector is a 100-pin, Centronics-style, male, ribbon-cable header connector. The manufacturer and the appropriate part number for this connector is

Configuration and Installation Chapter 2 U26 W1 Figure 2-1. PC-DIO-96 Parts Locator Diagram Base I/O Address Settings The base I/O address for the PC-DIO-96 is determined by the switches at position U26 (see Figure 2-1). The switches are set at the factory for the I/O address hex 180. With this default setting, the PC-DIO-96 uses the I/O address space hex 180 through 19F. Note: Verify that this space is not already used by other equipment installed in your computer. If any equipment
