What is Setup?
Setup means a series of steps to take before the product can be used.
Different steps are required for software and hardware
The setup procedure varies with the OS and applications used.
Using the Board under Windows
Using the Standard COM Driver Software DRV-COM(WDM)
This section describes the setup procedure to be performed before you can start developing application
programs for the board using the bundled CD-ROM “DRV-PAC(W32)”.
Taking the following steps sets up the software and hardware. You can use the diagnosis program later
to check whether the software and hardware function normally.
Step 1 Setting the Hardware
Step 2 Installing the Hardware
Step 3 Initializing the Software
Step 4 Checking Operations with the Diagnosis Program
On the CD-ROM, refer to the installation instructions files for each OS located in the
\DRVCOM\Pci\InstDoc
If Setup fails to be performed normally, see the “Setup Troubleshooting” section at the end of this
chapter.
