Driver Installation
A device driver is necessary for the 3155 software to communicate to
the PXI boards. In Windows 2000/XP, however, the 3155 installation
package cannot automatically install device drivers for PXI devices.
The Windows Plug & Play Manager is responsible for detecting de-
vices and prompting the user for the correct driver. To assign a driver
to a device, Windows refers to a .INF file. The .INF file provides in-
structions for Windows as to which driver files to install and which
registry entries to insert. To install a driver for a board containing a
PXI device, complete the following steps:
1. Power down your computer and PXI chassis.
2. Insert the PXI 3155 board into a free PXI slot.
3.
Power on your PXI chassis
4. Power on the computer. Windows should first detect the new
hardware device with a “Add New Hardware Wizard” message
box. Acknowledge this message box.
5. Windows displays the “Found New Hardware Wizard” as shown
in Figure 2-9, which will search for new drivers
6.
Follow the procedure as shown below.
Figure 2-9 – The Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard
Press Next and select one of the options in the dialog box below. We
recommend that you check the “Search for a suitable driver for my
device” option as shown in Figure 2-10.
