Installing the WLS-IFC
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install the WLS-IFC
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install the
MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the
Quick Start Guide
for instructions on installing
the software.
To connect the WLS-IFC to your system, do the following:
1.
Turn your computer on, and connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer or to an external USB
hub connected to your computer. The USB cable provides power and communication to the WLS-IFC.
Always connect an external hub to its power supply
If you are using a hybrid hub (one that can operate in either self-powered or bus-powered mode), always
connect it to its external power supply.
If you use a hub of this type without connecting to external power, communication errors may occur that could
result in corrupt configuration information on your wireless device. You can restore the factory default
configuration settings with
Insta
Cal.
When you connect the WLS-IFC for the first time, a
Found New Hardware
popup balloon (Windows XP)
or dialog (Windows 2000) opens as the WLS-IFC is detected.
After your system detects new hardware, the
Found New Hardware Wizard
opens and prompts you to
respond to the question "
Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?
"
2.
Click on the
No, not this time
option, and then click on the
Next
button.
The next dialog prompts you for the location of the software required to run the new hardware.
3.
Keep the default selection "
Install the software automatically
" and then click on the
Next
button.
The wizard locates and installs the software on your computer for the WLS-IFC. A dialog appears when the
wizard completes the installation.
4.
Click on the
Finish
button to exit the
Found New Hardware Wizard
.
A balloon or dialog appears when the hardware is installed and ready to use. Both the
Power
LED and the
USB
Activity
LED should flash, and then the
Power
LED should remain lit. This indicates that communication is
established between the WLS-IFC and your computer, and that the device is receiving power.
