Starting up
Please read your computer’s instruction manual on how to install
new hardware components before installing the board.
2.1 Software Installation
Installation under Windows
The following basic procedure should be used:
If you have received the driver software as an archive file please un-
pack the software before installing the board. First choose a
directory on your computer (e.g.
C:\Temp\Meilhaus\ME-iDS
).
Use the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS) for
programming your new data acquisition hardware. For installation
and operation of the driver system, please follow the
documentation in electronic form included with the software
package.
2.2 Power Supply for PCI-Express Models
Because of the PCI-Express slot drive’s insufficient current for
operation of the board, an additional supply is required via the PC
power supply. For that purpose connect a free „MOLEX“-connector
of the PC (also as used for power supply of drives) with the
appropriate terminal of the board (see the following diagram).
