8.4 Installing the Drivers

®
For installing RTC 4 drivers for WINDOWS XP and
WINDOWS 2000 proceed as follows:
Note
®
• RTC 4 boards cannot be used simultaneously
®
with RTC 3 boards in the same PC.
• Prior to installing software drivers for
WINDOWS XP and WINDOWS 2000, previously
installed drivers of the old, discontinued version
must be de-installed. The de-installation
procedure is described in the "Readme.txt" file
®
of the RTC 4 software package.
• The installation procedure for installing the old,
discontinued version for WINDOWS XP SP1 /
2000 / NT 4 and WINDOWS ME / 98 / 95 is also
described in the "Readme.txt" file of the RTC
software package.
®
(1) After the RTC 4 board has been inserted, start
the computer.
(2) If the "Add Hardware Wizard" does not come up
automatically, call him from the Control Panel.
(3) In the "Add Hardware Wizard" specify the direc-
tory which includes the drivers for WINDOWS XP
and WINDOWS 2000.
(4) If the old driver was previously installed (and has
been de-installed prior to installing the new
drivers), now restart the computer once more.
• Additionally to installing the drivers, the RTC
software (application-support DLL, correction
files and DSP program file(s)) must be installed.
Therefore, please follow the instructions in
chapter 9, page 62.
