Accessing the DaqBoard/500 Properties Tab

6.Enter a “Device Name” in the text box, or use the default, e.g., DaqBoard500_0. The Name is for identifying the specific DaqBoard, but actually refers to the PCI slot.

7.Verify that the “Device Type” shows the correct board, i.e., “DaqBoard/500 or DaqBoard/505.” Other devices, if available can be viewed via the pull-down list.

8.Confirm that the DaqBoard’s text box shows a Bus #, Slot #, and Serial Number.

If this text box is empty, use its pull-down list and select the serial number that matches the one for your board.
