Verifying installation and configuration of CompuScope hardware under
Windows 98/ME/NT with GageConfig
GageConfig is used to verify the configuration your CompuScope cards under Windows 98/ME/NT.
The GageConfig Manager utility is installed at the same time as the drivers and you do not need to do anything
special to get it. You can access GageConfig from the Gage folder in the Programs category of the Start Menu
of Windows.

GageConfig creates a binary file called GAGESCOP.INC that contains the information necessary for the driver
to recognize the CompuScope card(s). This file is kept in the
Windows\System folder of your computer.
Please note that the CompuScope cards are plug-and-play devices, so you do not need to specify an I/O or a
memory address, as you would have had to for ISA products.
It is, however, necessary to declare the I/O and Memory addresses as “PnP” in the appropriate section of
GageConfig. This would tell GageConfig that we are trying to locate a Plug-n-Play device.
If I/O and Memory Base addresses are not specified to “PnP”, GageConfig will not recognize your CompuScope
card.
If you require more information on how to use GageConfig, you can download a manual from the Gage website
