Remove the cover from the personal computer to expose the expansion
slots.
3.
Verify that the EPP Interface card is configured as EPP for LPT2.
Refer to the documentation supplied with the EPP card to change the
configuration settings.
4.
Install the card into an open PCI slot.
5.
Reinstall the personal computer cover.
6.
Plug in the computers power cord, and boot the computer.
7.

Software Installation
If you did not purchase a complete system with everything installed and tested, you
will need to install the P3 Plus software. For the Acquisition Interface to operate
correctly, you must install the software onto the hard disk of the personal computer.
The procedures are outlined in the Ponemah Physiology Platform reference manual.
For the ACQ-7700 interface to work, the user must select ACQ-7700 as the
acquisition device in the
Acquisition Interface
tab of the
Application
Configuration
dialog. This dialog is opened by selecting
Application
Configuration
from the
Options
menu from within the P3 Plus application. The
LPT Port
and
Port Mode
must also be set to the correct settings. The
LPT Port
is
the port that the ACQ-7700 is connected to, and the
Port Mode
is the mode in which
the port is configured. View the
Interface Configuration
section for details.
