For example, if you will record five channels at 20 Hz each, then the Standard mode will be more than adequate
(5 channels @ 20 Hz = 100 Hz throughput, which is well within the DI-7xx Series 40KHz standard mode
throughput). If, however, you plan to record at a much higher sample rate (for example, five channels at 10KHz
each) the Standard mode will not reliably record your data gap-free — this throughput rate exceeds the DI-7xx's
standard mode maximum throughput (5 channels @ 10KHz = 50KHz). To reliably record data gap-free at this
sample rate, your computer's parallel port must be operated in something other than standard mode.
Access your computer's CMOS setup routine to change the printer port operating mode. This usually can be
accomplished by pressing a certain key (or keys) on your keyboard at the beginning of your computer's boot-up
process. A message telling you which key to press is usually displayed on your monitor at the beginning of the
boot-up process. If you do not see such a message, consult your computer documentation for CMOS setup infor-
mation.
