In the case of Win7, you run the program with administrator privileges to depending on the setting of the operating system. You can prevent the execution of the block of DAQ system against firewall program. If you cannot share a computer, and can use a computer in the office, please ask them to contact the administrator user of your PC, you are given administrator rights to your user account.
Before using the board, it uses after specifying the IP address in the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” as shown [Figure 4-1]. The NET-FRM01 board 192.168.33.129 IP is used as the fixed identifier. This identifier does not overlap with the appropriate choice of IP, 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask set used. The remaining portion of the selection may be omitted.
