FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

What host connection does the PCMCIA-FBUS/2 require?

NI's installation guide directs installation into a free PCMCIA or CardBus socket.

Should NI-FBUS software be installed before the card?

Yes. NI's installation guide instructs users to install the NI-FBUS software before installing the hardware.

Does Series 2 software support automatically establish support for this model?

No. NI lists PCMCIA-FBUS/2 and PCMCIA-FBUS/2 Series 2 separately in its installation documentation. The NI-FBUS 16.0 supported-hardware list names the Series 2 version, so it does not establish support for the non-Series-2 catalog model.
