KPCI-3101 — KPCI-3104 Series User’s Manual
Procedure for the analog output software test
1. Turn off the host computer.
2. Connect the negative lead of the DVM/DMM to a ground terminal of the screw terminal
accessory, as indicated in
.
3. Connect the STA-300 screw terminal accessory to the KPCI-3101–4 board.
4. Turn on the host computer and boot Windows 95, 98, or NT.
5. Start DriverLINX and your application software.
6. Set your application software to output 0V at analog outputs 0 and 1.
7. Measure and compare the analog output voltages as indicated in
:
a. Measure the voltages at analog outputs 0 and 1 with your DVM/DMM.
b. Compare the voltages you measured in step 7a with the voltages you set via the analog-
output level control.
8. Set your application software to 5V at analog outputs 0 and 1.
9. Measure and compare the analog output voltages as indicated in
:
a. Measure the voltages at analog outputs 0 and 1 with your DVM/DMM.
b. Compare the voltages you measured in step 9a with the voltages you set via the analog-
output level control.
