2.4 Device Setup & Configuration
The Advantech Device Manager program is a utility that allows you to set
up, configure and test your device, and later stores your settings on the
system registry. These settings will be used when you call the APIs of
Advantech Device Drivers.
Setting Up the Device
1. To install the I/O device for your card, you must first run the
Device Installation program (by accessing Start/Advantech Auto-
mation/Device Manager/Advantech Device Manager ).
2. You can then view the device(s) already installed on your system
(if any) on the Installed Devices list box. Since you have not
installed any device yet, you might see a blank list such as the one
below (Fig. 2-3).
3. Scroll down the List of Devices box to find the device that you wish
to install, then click the Add... button. You will see a Device Set-
ting dialog box such as the one in Fig. 2-4.
