We are trying to make this card (selected by an outside vendor who also provided software) run in an industrial computer that may or may not have the required PCI bus voltages provided.XP's device manager and MAX both see the card but the custom application is not reporting Card Ready. As suggested by KB article 3dkf8p33, we measured the voltage on the RTSI_OSC line, and got 5.06V at all times (before, during, and after booting). Is 5V OK for the PCI-6143 (is it not only undamaged, but also functional with 5V)? The KB article doesn't say what the effect is if there is no -12V line present. Will the card appear to work? Will it work OK?If there is a problem that rules out this card, is there another PCI bus card, or perhaps one using USB, that offers comparable functionality (simultaneous sampling, multifunction, 5V signal levels)? Thanks.
