Start Up

Starting the Application

Instrument Selection

To run the ICS-PCI software, select from the Start Menu or double-click the icon for the application. If two or more

supported cards are installed and recognized, a selection window will be displayed showing details of all supported cards.

Using the mouse, select and highlight the desired card from the instruments not 'In Use'. Click the OK button to accept.

If only one card is available, that card will be automatically selected for you and the main window will be opened .

If no card is detected or none are available (already in use by another instance of ICS-PCI software already running), a

warning will be displayed advising that only 'File Mode' activity will be functional. Choosing CANCEL in the selection

window will result in running in File Mode.

The application may be started for a specific serial number card by using a shortcut icon created using Windows standard

methods. A quick way to create a shortcut is to copy the existing standard icon created during software installation and

edit it to suit your needs.

To directly start the software and connect to a specific card, you may add a command line switch -s followed by the

known serial number of the desired card. By this means, you may have multiple icons on the windows desktop that each

open and control a dedicated device.

The example properties window below demonstrates the entries to be made. If the software is placed in different

directories, the path must be appropriately entered.

If the program is started by way of a shortcut or command line and the specified serial number is not available (either

already in use or no longer installed in the computer) you will be notified and taken into File Mode operation.

Shortcut

Any shortcuts created manually will not be automatically removed when uninstalling the software.
