2.4 Device Setup & Configuration
Device Manager is a utility that allows you to setup, configure and test
your device, and later store your settings on the system registry. These
settings will be used when you call the APIs of Advantech Device Driv-
ers.
Setting Up and Configuring the Device
1.
To connect I/O devices with your card, you must first run the
Advantech Device Manager program by accessing:
Start/Programs/Advantech Automation/
2. You can then view the device(s) already installed on your system
(if any) in the
Installed Devices list box. If you haven’t installed
any device yet, you might see a blank list such as the one below.
Figure 2.4: Device Manager with No Installed Devices
3. Scroll down the Supported Devices list to find the device that you
want to install, and then click the Add… button to evoke the
Device(s) Found dialog box like the one shown in Figure 2.5. The
Device(s) Found dialog box lists all the installed devices on your
system. Select the device you want to configure from the list box
and press the
OK button.
