 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
╩This menu has two submenus which allow you to calibrate certain aspects of the A1216E card.  It allows you to calibrate the zero and span for the two DACs and the zero, span, and reference for the ADC. ][
THelpTopic5  Options │ D/A Converter
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
╨This menu item allows for the calibration of the on-board D/A converter. It allows for the zero and span calibration of the D/A chip.  You are led through the entire process of calibrating the D/A converter. è
To use this calibration procedure, the DACs cannot be in 2's complement mode and must be in the unipolar mode, with a range of ±5 volts. ][
THelpTopic5  Options │ A/D Converter
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
ºThis dialog allows you to calibrate the on-board A/D converter.  The four steps include calibration of unipolar and bipolar zero, span, and the A/D reference voltage. o
In order for the calibration steps to work, the card must be in single-ended, bipolar mode, with a gain of 1. ][

THelpTopic3  Base Address Selection
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
ΩIn order for communication to be established between your I/O card and its host computer, the I/O card must be assigned a base I/O port address. The setup program scans your system to determine which port addresses are currently available, and it presents you with a list of I/O ports and their availablity status. Scroll through this list using the arrow keys or mouse and select an available address, then configure your card's address switch to match the switch settings in the diagram. ][

THelpTopicG  16-Channel, 12-bit Setup Program
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

Welcome to the setup program for the 16-channel, 12-bit A/D card. This program will help guide you through the process of setting up your card. Menus are accessed by pressing Alt-'Z', where Z is the first letter of the menu. For example, the "Options" menu is pulled down by Alt-O. 7
Begin this program with the card out of the computer to configure the Base Address, IRQ, Input type, Range, AIM-16 Compatibility, and D/A Converter by setting the jumpers manually. Then, turn of the computer, put your card in the machine and run the setup program again to calibrate the A/D and D/A Converter. )
