4.1 Driver installation
For
meM-INC
a driver installation is always required. Only then additional software can be installed. To
make sure that the installation is done correctly, follow the instructions in the order as described below.
4.1.1. Install driver package
The prior installation of the bmcm driver package
BMCM-DR
to the hard disc of your PC makes the driver search for
Windows
®
much easier. Especially in case of driver updates only the new driver package has to be installed, the hard-
ware automatically uses the new version. The link to install the driver package is located on the
meM-INC
product
page of the "Software Collection"-CD.
4.1.2. Plug&Play
installation
As soon as the
meM-INC
is connected to the PC, the system announces the new hardware. Start the automatic hard-
ware detection by selecting the following option:
-
Windows
®
XP
:
"Install the software automatically" (SP2: do not connect with Windows
®
Update!)
-
Windows
®
2000
: "Search for a suitable driver for my device"
As the driver package has been installed on hard disc before no additional location needs to be entered for the driver
search under Windows
®
2000.
4.1.3. Check
installation
In the Windows
®
Device Manager the entry "Data Acquisition (BMC Messsysteme GmbH)" is included after success-
