Chapter
This chapter contains instructions on how to install and configure your
NI-FBUS software for Windows NT.
Install the Software
After you have installed and configured the hardware, you are ready to
install the NI-FBUS software.
Before you install your NI-FBUS software, you must know the base
address and IRQ settings of your AT-FBUS hardware. To read your base
address from your board switch settings, use Table 2-2. To read your IRQ
line from your board, look at the number printed on the board under the
jumper.
Caution:
If you reinstall the NI-FBUS software over an existing version, you lose
any existing board and port configuration information. Before you
reinstall the NI-FBUS software, write down your board configuration.
Also, if you changed any port configuration parameters from their
defaults, write down the new parameters.
Complete the following steps to run the software installation program for
either the NI-FBUS or NI-FBUS Configurator software:
1.
Log in as
Administrator
or as a user that has Administrator
privileges.
2.
Insert installation disk 1 into an unused drive.
3.
In the Run... dialog box, type the following:
x:\setup
where
x
is the letter of the drive containing the disk (usually
a
or
b
).
