PCI-6221 configuration for new PC

[Greg1956]

Hi all,

installed an old PCI-6221 into a Dell 7090 tower with a PCI slot.

Compiled my old version of Labware software 8.6 to 2020 and installed it.

Software runs and works, 95% of the external inputs display correctly.

2 inputs from a pressure device do not.

There is much talk of configuring the 6221 card but I can't find any instructions.

Any advice on configuring this card, I assume I do it through Max but not sure where and what to adjust.

thanks

Greg

You are right, use MAx to verify if the computer can actually see your signal. 

check your channel and see if the signal is there.   

Check the wiring use external instrument (like a multimeter) to ensure that the electrical signal is getting to the board. If not                 sure, try a different source of voltage (use an analog output from the board itself if it is available).

Good luck
