REL-32.PCI User Manual
Introduction
The REL-32.PCI provides 32 reed relays that can switch power, data or other
electronic signals for control applications. The outputs provide high quality, long
life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures. Reed relays are
well suited for low current applications. The relays are normally open, and will close
when energized. The REL-32.PCI is PCI 2.1 bus compliant.
The REL-32.PCI is designed to be used with a variety of Operating Systems
including Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP, Linux and DOS. The SeaI/O API
(Application Programmer Interface) included on CD with the REL-32.PCI provides
a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented as a Windows dynamic
link library (DLL) and as a Linux kernel module and library. In addition to the API,
SeaI/O includes sample code and utilities to simplify software development.

Software Installation
Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Installation
Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully
installed.
1. Start Windows.
2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.

launch. Otherwise, point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root
directory of the CD
4. Select ‘Install Software’.
5. Select the Part Number for your adapter from the listing.
6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically
detect the operating environment and install the proper components. Next

preferred configurations. This program also adds entries to the system
registry that are necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each
driver. An uninstall option is also included to remove all registry/INI file
entries from the system.
Windows NT Card Installation: After accomplishing the above steps, bring up
the Control Panel and double-click on the SeaIO Devices icon. To install a new
