GX5280 User Guide

 

If another Marvin Test Solutions board software package was already installed, Windows will suggest using the 
driver information file: HW.INF. The file is located in your Program Files\Marvin Test Solutions\HW folder. Click 

Next

 to confirm and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the driver installation.  

If the operating system was unable to find the driver (since the software driver was not installed prior to the board 
installation), you may install the software as described in the prior section, then click on the 

Have Disk

 button and 

browse to select the HW.INF file located in C:\Program File\Marvin Test Solutions\HW. 

If you are unable to locate the driver click 

Cancel

 to the found New Hardware wizard and exit the New Hardware 

Found Wizard, install the DIO driver, reboot your computer and repeat this procedure.  

The Windows Device Manager (open from the System applet from the Windows Control Panel) must display the 
proper board name before continuing to use the board software (no Yellow warning icon shown next to device). If 
the device is displayed with an error you can select it and press delete and then press F5 to rescan the system again 
and to start the New Hardware Found wizard.
