PC Card Questions and

Answers

Appendix

C

This appendix contains a list of common questions and answers relating
to PC Card (PCMCIA) operation. The questions are grouped according
to the type of information requested. You may find this information
useful if you are having difficulty with the PCMCIA system software
configuration and you are using Windows 3.1.

Note:

If you are using Windows 95, the operation system will automatically
configure your PC Card. All questions in this appendix are specific to
Windows 3.1, with the exception of question 3 in the

Operation

section.

Configuration

1. Do I need to use my PCMCIA configuration utility to configure the National
Instruments PC Cards?

No. We recommend that you do not configure our PC Cards using PC
Card Control or an equivalent PC Card configuration utility. Use the
configuration utilities included with the NI-DAQ driver software to
properly configure your DAQCard. The appropriate utility is the
NI-DAQ Configuration Utility (

WDAQCONF)

for Windows 3.1 users.

2. What should I do if my computer does not have Card and Socket Services
version 2.0 or later?

Contact the manufacturer of your computer or of your PCMCIA adapter
and request the latest Card and Socket PCMCIA driver. Our NI-DAQ
software will work with any Card and Socket Service driver that is
compliant to version 2.0 or higher.
