Installing the New Hardware & Hardware Drivers
Unlike typical IEEE 488 interface boards which are installed into expansion slots inside the PC’s
system unit, the CARD488 PC Card interface is installed into the PC Card slot of the computer. The
computer does not need to be turned off.
For technical assistance, see chapter
Troubleshooting
on page 119 in this manual, or the
troubleshooting section in your PC’s manual. If you are still not sure of the problem, contact the dealer
or manufacturer of your interface board or PC.
Step 1: Installing the CARD488 Interface into a PC Card Slot
Refer to your PC's reference manual whenever in doubt.
1. Install the IEEE 488 controller interface into the PC Card slot of the computer. The computer does
not need to be turned off.
Note:
It is assumed the user has a properly installed PC Card adapter in the computer.
At this point, the hardware installation is complete. Continue to
Step 2
.
Step 2: Detecting the CARD488 Interface in "Add New Hardware"
1. After installing the IEEE 488 controller interface, turn on your computer. Windows will detect the
new hardware and prompt for a Manufacturer’s Disk.
2. Insert the disk labeled "Driver488 Driver Disk, 1 of 1" into the floppy disk drive. Click
OK
.
3. The hardware will now be recognized and configured by Windows; the "Add New Hardware
Wizard" will auto-assign an available I/O base address, IRQ (Interrupt), and DMA channel.
(Additional CARD488 interfaces may share the same IRQ and DMA values.)
Continue as prompted to load the interface driver, but DO NOT restart Windows. Select No to
NOT shut down and go directly to the
Device Manager
to verify the presence of the new hardware
device.
At this point, the hardware detection is complete. Continue to
Step 3
