2.4 Device Setup & Configuration
Device Manager is a utility that allows you to setup, configure and test
your device, and later store your settings on the system registry. These
settings will be used when you call the APIs of Advantech Device Driv-
ers.
Setting Up and Configuring the Device
1.
To connect I/O devices with your card, you must first run the
Advantech Device Manager program by accessing:
Start/Programs/Advantech Automation/Device Manager/Advan-
tech Device Manager
2.
You can then view the device(s) already installed on your system
(if any) in the Installed Devices list box.

Note:
As we have noted, the device name "001:<PCIE-1744
BoardID=0 I/O=e400H>" begins with a device number
"001", which is specifically assigned to each card. The
device number is passed to the driver to specify which
device you wish to control
If you want to test the card device further, go to the next section on the
Device Testing. You can find rich examples on the CD-ROM to speed up
your programming.
