The interface board is supplied with default factory settings. In most cases, these
settings will not interfere with other devices. However, in case you experience
problems, please follow the directions in the next paragraph after you have installed
the Autolab software, explained in chapter 3.
Configuring the interface board

On the interface board two settings can be changed: the interface base address
(SW101) and the Autolab grounding (JP201, JP202). Before changing any setting, the
board must be removed from the computer. Never remove or insert the board when
the computer is turned on.
The Autolab interface board.
By default, the base address is set to 280Hex, but it can be changed if this setting
interferes with other devices, or when multiple Autolab interface boards are present in
the same computer. The interface will occupy 8 addresses, starting from the base
address.
The base address can be set with SW101 by opening in the Control Panel the
“Autolab Interface Board” applet (see next figure).
Set Base Address.

In order to find an unoccupied address range, you should do the following:

• In Windows 95/98 or Me, right-click My Computer, select Properties, go to
Device manager, double-click Computer (left top), select View resources and
choose the Input/output radio button. You will see which addresses are used by
which devices, and which addresses are still available.
• In Windows NT, start “Programs/Administrative Tools/Windows NT
diagnostics”, select “resources” tab and press I/O Port.
• In Windows 2000, start “Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer
Management”, select “System Information/Hardware Resources” and select “I/O”.
The procedure to change the base address:

• Set the base address with the control panel applet “Autolab Interface Board” and
write down the dip switch settings.
• Turn computer and Autolab off.
• Take out the interface card and set the dip switches of SW101; d1-d8 according to
the dip switch settings from step 1.
• Place the board back in the PC, close the case and start the PC.
The jumpers on the interface board indicated as JP201 and JP202 will select the
grounding mode of the Autolab instrument. The proper setting depends on the type of
instrument. It is usually set by the manufacturer. In case of switching between
instruments or in case a mix-up of interfaces occurs, you should verify its proper
setting.
