CENARIOS
There are two main situations that might apply
to you:
• Scenario 1: Osprey Card(s) not Physically
Installed in the PC
• Scenario 2: Osprey Card(s) Physically
Installed, but Osprey Software not
Installed
In all cases, the most efficient and complete
installation method is to run the setup.exe
program on the product CD or in the web
package that you downloaded. The setup
program automates the Plug and Play steps
required to install the drivers and ensures that
they are performed correctly. It also installs the
bundled applets and User’s Guide. If you have
multiple Osprey capture cards in the system it
configures all of the boards at the same time.
You can skip the detailed instructions if you are
upgrading from one Osprey driver version to
another. Just run the setup.exe file, and all the
updated components will be installed.
Scenario 1: Osprey Card(s) not Physically
Installed in the PC
This is the method that we recommend if you
are installing an Osprey card for the first time
on a system, and the Osprey software has not
yet been installed. This scenario is called the
“Preinstall Scenario”. After the install is run,
as soon as an Osprey card is installed in the
PC, it is detected and its drivers are started
automatically.
To preinstall the Osprey drivers:
1. Using Windows Explorer, locate and
access the CD-ROM drive containing
the Osprey Installation CD-ROM.
2. Navigate to the WINXP directory.
3. Double-click SETUP.EXE. The Osprey
Capture Driver window displays.
4. Click Next. The Software License
Agreement window displays.
