3.0 Getting Started
After unpacking the Scanner, please inspect for any shipping damage that may have occurred, and report any claims
to your transportation carrier.
The Scanner package is shipped with the Scanner module, four floppy disks containing software drivers, user
interface panel, and this Operator's manual.
3.1 Setting the Scanner
The SMX4000 series Relay Scanners are PCI plug-and-play devices and do not require any switch settings, or any
other adjustments to the hardware prior to installation.
3.2 Installing the Software
It is best to first plug the Relay Scanner into the PXI chassis (with the power off), turn on the power and follow the
instructions on the screen for ‘New Hardware Found’. The first time you power up with the Scanner installed, the
computer plug-and-play will detect the new Scanner and prompt you for a driver. The driver your computer requires
is on Disk 1 (SMX4032.inf). Guide the computer to search for device driver on the floppy drive (A:\). Next run
‘setup’ provided in Disk1(double click it).
After the computer completes its boot process run the
‘SETUP’
program provided on Disk 1, to install the software.
This takes care of all installation and registration requirements of the software.
