Hi,
Thanks so much for your response. Well I DO have some more comments and questions ! So here it goes...
1. It seems that the IN1 and OUT1 and IN2 and OUT2 lines on both the cards are the same (same pin #'s) so we should not have to 're-wire' anything.
2. In the current program that I am maintaining, which uses the AT-DIO-32F card (-32F), it uses the registers on the board to read and write to certain -32F lines. This board has CFG1, CFG2, STAT, PORTA, PORTB, etc... registers. My software uses a special library to write and read directly to and from these registers. For example, suppose the Base address of the board itself is 0x240. The CFG2 register is at base address offset = 0x02. Thus, my software will call a routine such as:
OUTW(base_address+CFG2_offset, x0001)
to set bit 0 of the CFG2 register to 1. The manual for the -32F has an appendix that describes completely all of its' registers. When I look at the NI-653X User Manual, I do not see a description of the registers. Is this information in another manual ? Or should I assume the registers and register offsets in the -32HS are the same as for this in the -32F ? I believe this is my issue and burning question now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your reply and help are greatly appreciated !!
