If your card is properly installed, you should see the device name of your
card listed on the Device Manager tab. If you see your device name listed
on it but marked with an exclamation sign "!", it means your card has not
been correctly installed. In this case, remove the card device from the
Device Manager by selecting its device name and press the Remove but-
ton. Then go through the driver installation process again. Then you must
restart your computer.
After your card is properly installed on your system, you can now config-
ure your device using the Advantech Device Manager Program that has
itself already been installed on your system during driver setup. A com-
plete device installation procedure should include device setup, configu-
ration and testing. The following sections will guide you through the
Setup, Configuration and Testing of your device.
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.
2.4.1 Setting up the Device
Step 1: To setup the I/O device for your card, you must first run the
Device setup program (by accessing Start/Programs/Advantech
Automation/Device Manager/Advantech Device Manage).
Step 2: You can then view the device(s) already installed on your system
(if any) on the Installed Devices list box.
