Configuring the PCI-DAS1602/12 

All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS1602/12 are software controlled. You can select some of 
the configuration options using 

Insta

Cal, such as the analog input configuration (16 single-ended or eight 

differential channels), the edge used for triggering when using an external pacer, and the counter source. Once 
selected, any program that uses the Universal Library initializes the hardware according to these selections.
