Configuring the DT9837 Series Device Drivers
Note:
In Windows 7, Windows 8, and Vista, you must have administrator privileges to run
the Open Layers Control Panel. When you double-click the Open Layers Control Panel icon,
you may see the Program Compatibility Assistant. If you do, select
Open the control panel
using recommended settings
. You may also see a Windows message asking you if you want
to run the Open Layers Control Panel as a "legacy CPL elevated." If you get this message,
click
Yes
.
If you do not get this message and have trouble making changes in the Open Layers Control
Panel, right click the DTOLCPL.CPL file and select
Run as administrator
. By default, this file
is installed in the following location:
Windows 7, Windows 8, and Vista (32-bit)
C:\Windows\System32\Dtolcpl.cpl
Windows 7, Windows 8, and Vista (64-bit)
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Dtolcpl.cpl
To configure the device driver for a DT9837 Series module, do the following:
1.
If you have not already done so, power up the host computer and all peripherals.
2.
From the Windows Start menu, select
Settings|Control Panel
.
3.
From the Control Panel, double-click
Open Layers Control Panel
.
The Data Acquisition Control Panel dialog box appears.
4.
If you want to rename the module, click
the name of the module that you want to rename,
click
Edit Name
, enter a new name for the module, and then click
OK
. The name is used
to identify the module in all subsequent applications.
5.
Select the module that you want to configure, and then click
Advanced
.
The Measurement Options dialog box appears.
6.
Check the
Power Always On
box if you want to enable high power mode or uncheck this
box to disable high power mode (the default). Turning off the high-power circuitry helps
to conserve power, which may be useful when the module is used with a laptop.
However, to ensure that the module is warmed up and that any settling time errors of the
IEPE current source are minimized, it is recommended that you check this option to keep
the module’s high-power circuitry always turned on.
