About

This

Manual

This manual describes the electrical and mechanical aspects of the

611XE family of boards and contains information concerning their

operation and programming.

The 611X E family of boards includes:

• PCI-6110E

• PCI-6111E

Your 611X E board is a high-performance multifunction analog, digital,

and timing I/O board for PCI bus computers. Supported functions

include analog input, analog output, digital I/O, and timingI/O.

Organization of This Manual

The PCI-6110E/6111E User Manual is organized as follows:

• Chapter1, Introduction, describes your 611X E board, lists what

you need to get started, describes the optional software and optional

equipment, and explains how to unpack your 611X E board.

• Chapter2, Installation and Configuration, explains how to install

and configure your 611X E board.

• Chapter3, Hardware Overview, presents an overview of the

hardware functions on your 611X E board.

• Chapter4, Signal Connections, describes how to make input and

output signal connections to your 611X E board via the board I/O

connector.

• Chapter5, Calibration, discusses the calibration procedures for

your 611X E board.

• AppendixA, Specifications, lists the specifications of your 611X E

board.

• AppendixB, Cable Connector Descriptions, describes the cable

connectors on your 611X E board.
