Installing the A/D Converter Card ("16 Chl. A/D Converter")

 Tips:  

The A/D converter card is no longer available from Dionex. Use the UCI Universal Chromatography Interface instead, which provides much more features than A/D converter cards. However, as A/D converter cards may still be used in the field, refer to the corresponding installation instructions below.

This card is not supported under Windows Vista or later.

We assume that the A/D converter card is not yet installed in your computer. Place the new A/D converter card on a clean and dry surface, with the modules pointing upward. See the figure below for a schematic representation.

Position the card as indicated in the figure, using the block with the eight switches for setting the I/O address as a guideline. Follow the steps below to install the card:

 Selecting the I/O Address

 Setting the Base Address

 Selecting the Appropriate Slot

 Caution:

Use a ballpoint pen to set the switch. Do not use a pencil, as graphite particles could cause a short circuit in the switch.

The card is then ready to record and process analog or digital signals.
