2.4 Base Address
The DAQ-16 uses 16 consecutive I/O address locations in the range 0 to 0FFFFH. Two
six-position switches (SW1 and SW2) are used to select the base address. SW1 controls
address lines A15 - A10, and SW2 controls A9 - A4. Address lines A3 - A0 are used
internally by the DAQ-16 to select which register to access.
When selecting a base address for the DAQ-16, an address selection switch in the "OFF"
position corresponds to an address bit of "1" while a switch in the "ON" position corresponds
to an address bit of "0". The base addr ess of the DAQ-16 must be set on a 16 b yte boundary ,
meaning A3 - A0 are "0". The address of the DAQ-16 as shipped from the factory is 0300H.
This setting and other examples are shown in the Figure 2-5.
