1.2.4 Installing the Optional Tally Box Drivers
When the tally box option is purchased with a new unit the appropriate drivers are pre-
installed at the factory, there is no need to re-install the drivers. On upgrades, where the
tally box option was purchased after receiving a system, you will need to manually load
the drivers for the Sense & Switch 8 Tally Box, with the install CD that was included with
the tally box. In addition you will need to install an option code, as described in section
A.3, that can be obtained from Technical Support.
To install the drivers:
1.
Insert
the Measurement Computing driver disc into the CD tray of the workstation.
2.
Navigate to the CD drive (Drive E), and
double-click
on the Measurement
Computing icon. This will open the install window, as shown below left.
3.
Click on the
Install
button to install the drivers.
4.
Once the drivers are installed a pop-up window will appear confirming the
installation. Click on the
Finish
button to save and exit the installation process.
5.
Connect the tally box to the workstation with the supplied
USB
cable and plug-in the
power
with the supplied power supply to an electrical socket.
6.
To confirm the installation, navigate to the
Start Menu, All Programs,
Measurement Computing, InstaCal.
This will launch the InstaCal software
program, as shown below center.
7.
Your tally box device will appear under the
Universal Serial Bus
section. Click on
the
Digital Test
button, to confirm communication to the tally box. This will open up
the Board Test window, as shown below right.
8.
Click on the
Test
button. You should hear the tally box click once, if the installation
was successful. If not, check your connections to the tally box and to the
workstation.
