ATS850 User Manual 25
Installing the ATS850 in a Linux System
ATS850 is fully compatible with the popular Linux operating
system.
AlazarTech supplies binary Linux drivers that have been
compiled for Fedora Core 5 (kernel 2.6).
Customers who require drivers for another version of Linux
must contact the factory to obtain source code for the drivers
(requires a Non-Disclosure Agreement). AlazarTech will not
provide software support for compiling drivers for other
versions of Linux, i.e. customers will be fully responsible for
compiling drivers for their own Linux operating system.
To install Linux drivers in a Fedora Core 5 system, follow the
instructions listed below:
1. Copy the supplied RPM file to the target machine
2. Double-click on the RPM icon. This will install the
driver as well as associated applications.
3. Reboot the PC.
Note that if you do not reboot the PC, the driver will
not be loaded.
The RPM file will also install an application called AlazarDSO.
This is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) using which you can
setup and acquire data from the ATS850.
Note that AlazarDSO has been compiled using GTK 2.4
libraries. If you intend to use an operating system other than
Fedora Core 5, make sure that the GTK 2.4 libraries have
been installed on your machine.
