Setting | JPxA | JPxB |
Differential signals (+ and -) | Pins 1 & 2 closed | Pins 2 & 3 closed |
Single-ended signals (+ and GND) | Pins 1 & 2 closed | Pins 1 & 2 closed |
Single-ended signals, TTL levels | Pins 2 & 3 closed | N/A |
Note:The exact locations of JP1A through JP8A and JP1B through JP8B are unidentified. JP1A and JP1B control the opto-isolation functions of channel 1. The settings for JP2A through JP8A and JP2B through JP8B are identical, controlling channels 2 through 8 respectively. | ||

Note: Over 255 base address settings are available. The switches are a binary representation of the decimal memory addresses. SW1/1 is the Most Significant Bit and switch SW1/8 is the Least Significant Bit. The switches have the following decimal values: SW1/1=512, SW1/2=256, SW1/3=128, SW1/4=64, SW1/5=32, SW1/6=16, SW1/7=8, SW1/8=4. Turn off the switches and add the values of the switches that are off to 512 to obtain the correct memory address. (Off=1, On=0) | |||||||||
