Chapter 4 ICOM Tools

4.1 Introduction

Advantech ICOM Tools is a convenient utility that has been designed to
help you test the performance of ICOM cards through analyzing the port
status. It features an easy to use graphical user interface that will soon
make you familiar with testing via menu commands and toolbar buttons.
Advantech ICOM Tools is applicable to all series of Advantech ICOM
cards, and can even be used with other third-party ICOM cards. It is
included for free on the diskette or on the companion CD-ROM with all
Advantech Industrial Communication cards.

4.2 Installation

To begin installation, double-click the ICOM_Tools.exe program icon in
the Tools folder or click the Advantech ICOM Utility hyperlink in the
installation window to launch the ICOM Tools setup program. The setup
program will copy the program files to the destination folder you choose
