VM-USB AND USB DRIVER INSTALLATION
ATTENTION!!! Observe precautions for handling:
•
Electrostatic device! Handle only at static safe work stations. Do not touch electronic
components or wiring
•
The VME crate as well as the used PC have to be on the same electric potential. Different
potentials can result in unexpected currents between the VM-USB and connected computer which
can destroy the units.
•
Do not plug the VC-USB into a VME crate under power. Switch off the VME crate first before
inserting or removing any VME module! For safety reasons the crate should be disconnected
from AC mains.
2.1 Installation for Windows Operating Systems
1. Switch off the VME crate and remove the power cord. Plug in the VM-USB on the first left
slot 1 if needed as system controller and secure it with the front panel screw. Switch on the
VME crate.
2. Insert the driver and software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the computer and run
the setup program in the XXUSBWin_Install folder. Define directory for installation and
click the installation button.
3. Connect the VM-USB via the provided USB cable to a USB port of the computer. Running
Windows 2000 or XP the hardware change should be detected and the "New Hardware
Wizard" Window should open and show the VME USB controller.
4. Do not use the automatic software installation but chose "installation from specific
location".
