Installation
PIO-96 User’s Manual
This section contains the following procedures, in the order in which they are to be performed:
•
Inventorying installation resources
•
Installing the DriverLINX software needed to operate your PIO-96 board
•
Configuring the installation in software
•
Unpacking and inspecting the board, setting the base address of the board, and installing the
board in your computer
•
Checking the installation
•
Wiring to your external circuits
NOTE
Install the DriverLINX software before installing the PIO-96 board.
Otherwise, the device drivers will be more difficult to install.
Inventorying required installation resources
Before installing DriverLINX and the board, do the following:
1. Inventory your PIO-96 board’s configuration settings.
2. Determine the resources your PIO-96 board requires.
3. Inventory your computer’s resources already allocated to other installed devices.
4. Determine whether your computer has sufficient resources for your PIO-96 board.
5. Determine whether your PIO-96 board can use your computer’s free resources.
6. Continue with the next section, “Installing DriverLINX software and documentation.”
NOTE
The DriverLINX Installation and Configuration Guide, Section 1,
amplifies the inventory process in checklist items 1-5. (Ignore the rest of
the checklist items for now.) To display this manual from your
DriverLINX PIO Series CD-ROM, open the Windows Explorer, then
double click on
X:\Drvlinx4\Docs\Instconf.pdf
, where
X
= the letter of
the CD-ROM drive. Acrobat Reader must already be installed on the
other system. If necessary, you can first install Acrobat Reader directly
from the CD-ROM by double clicking
X:\Acrobat\setup.exe
.
Installing DriverLINX software and documentation
Even if DriverLINX versions other than the PIO Series version are already installed on your sys-
tem, you must also install the PIO Series DriverLINX version. In the process, some DriverLINX
capabilities shared by all boards may be upgraded (test utilities, for example).
This section discusses installation of drivers, interfaces, and documentation. The component
installation options provided by the DriverLINX setup program are as follows:
•
Install Drivers
— This required component installs only the files you need for configuring
your hardware and running third-party data-acquisition applications that require
DriverLINX.
•
Install Interfaces
— This optional component installs the files and example programs that
you will need to develop custom applications for DriverLINX using C/C++, Visual Basic,
and Delphi.
•
Install Documentation
— This optional component installs electronic documentation for
DriverLINX that you can read, search, and print using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
•
Install Acrobat
— This optional component installs the Adobe Acrobat Reader for the
DriverLINX electronic documentation.
