Installation and
Configuration
This chapter describes how to install and configure the AT-GPIB/TNT
hardware and the GPIB software.
Install the GPIB Software
Before installing the hardware, complete the following steps to install
the GPIB software:
1. Insert the CD GPIB Software for Windows NT/98/95. The CD
autoplay feature automatically launches the setup wizard.
The setup wizard guides you through the necessary steps to install
the GPIB software. You can go back and change values where
appropriate by clicking on the Back button. You can exit the setup
if necessary by clicking on the Cancel button.
Note: If you do not have a CD drive and would like to order the GPIB software
on floppy disks, contact National Instruments and order part number
777780-01.
2. When the setup is complete, restart Windows.
Install the GPIB Hardware
If you have previously installed the GPIB Compatibility Release for
Windows 95/98, you should remove any system-reserved resources for
your AT-GPIB/TNT. System-reserved resources are only acquired
manually. If you did not use the Device Manager to acquire
system-reserved resources, you do not need to use the Device Manager
to remove such resources. If you do need to remove system-reserved
resources, refer to the
Removing System-Reserved Resources
section of
