Configuring the Device Driver
To configure the device driver for a TEMPpoint, VOLTpoint, or MEASURpoint instrument, do
the following:
1. If you have not already done so, power up the host computer and all peripherals.
2. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings -> Control Panel.
3. From the Control Panel, double-click Open Layers Control Panel.
The Data Acquisition Control Panel dialog box appears.
4. Click the name of the instrument that you want to configure, and then click Advanced.
The Configurable Board Options dialog box appears.
5. For each channel, set the Channel Configuration as voltage (the default) or one of the
supported sensor types for that channel.
Note: If you wish, you can overwrite these channel input types programmatically using
your software development environment or application.
6. Click OK.
7. If you want to rename the instrument, click Edit Name, enter a new name for the
instrument, and then click OK. The name is used to identify the instrument in all
subsequent applications.
8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for the other instrument that you want to configure.
9. When you are finished configuring the instrument, click Close.
