Installing and configuring
DriverLINX for PIO-24 boards
IMPORTANT
As a precaution against a system crash the first time you install
and test any new hardware, you should exit all other programs
and, if you use a disk cache, disable write caching. If the sys-
tem does crash and you’re using disk compression software or
a disk cache utility, and as a precaution after any crash, run
the utility that checks the directory structures.
IMPORTANT
Before you begin installing any hardware or software for the
PIO-24, read the
DriverLINX Installation and Configuration
Guide
and the
Using DriverLINX with your Hardware—
Keithley PIO Series
manuals that are packaged with the
DriverLINX software. They are accessed from the DriverLINX
CD-ROM after you have installed Adobe Acrobat.

puter’s free resources.

Set any other jumpers/switches to configure your PIO-24 board the way you
want the board to operate.
