Installation
Note:
You should install your driver software before installing your hardware.
Refer to the DAQMeter DAQCard-4050 Read Me First document for
software installation instructions.
There are two basic steps to installing a DAQCard-4050:
1.
If you have Windows 3.1, you must have Card & Socket Services
2.0 (or a later version) software installed on your computer. If you
have Windows 95, you do not need Card & Socket Services. These
services are built into the Windows 95 operating system.
2.
Insert the DAQCard-4050 and attach the DAQCard-4050 accessory
cable.
The DAQCard-4050 has two connectors—a 68-pin PCMCIA bus
connector on one end and a 4-pin I/O connector on the other end.
Insert the PCMCIA bus connector into any available Type II
PCMCIA slot until the connector is seated firmly. Notice that the
DAQCard-4050 and the DAQCard-4050 accessory cable are both
keyed so that the cable can be inserted only one way.
Be careful not to put strain on the DAQCard-4050 accessory cable
when inserting it into and removing it from the DAQCard-4050.
Always grasp the cable by the connector you are plugging or
unplugging. Never pull directly on the DAQCard-4050 accessory
cable to unplug it from the DAQCard-4050.
The DAQCard-4050 is now installed.
