In most PCs the National Instruments Runtime Engine will be
installed automatically after the ISL88731(C) control software.
You should see the window as shown in Figure 4.
Follow the instructions to install the Runtime Engine. If it does
not run automatically, click “Install National Instruments
Runtime Engine” on the ISL88731(C)EVAL2Z Control Software
Installation Menu (see Figure 2). After installation, click on the
Close Menu button.
Driver Installation
Connect the ISL88731(C)EVAL2Z to the USB port of your PC.
Note: The SMBus part of the ISL88731(C) and the USB-SMBus
interface are powered by the 5V from the USB port on the PC.
It is not necessary to have other power supplies connected to
the evaluation board to read or write to the ISL88731(C).
When WINDOWS detects new hardware, the new hardware
wizard should appear. Direct it to look for the driver
information file in the “ISL88731 Installer” folder (extracted
from the downloaded file). In some systems, it may be
necessary to specify the driver information file
(USB-I2C_WDM.inf).
Run the ISL88731 Application
ISL88731(C) control software should now appear in your
Start/All Programs list. Click on it to run the application.
