I tried a switch and resistor as shown in the NI manual. I set all of the 48
pins to input before I did this in the hal file. Using hal show/watch I
couldn't see any change in the pin status for all of the 48 pins. Could this
be an address issue? the pci address for the DIO 96 is showing as ff0. My
board doesn't have a jumper W1. The manual for it covers 3 different boards.
It is my understanding that if the hardware is not there then the pins won't
show at all in hal. Could this driver be somewhat different? If addressing
is this issue how do determine what to put in the loadrt command?
Thank you for your help,
Dave
