Cancel button) and set up the driver accord- ing to the steps described in 2.4 Driver Installa- tion. After the PCI-1736UP card is installed, you can verify whether it is prop- erly installed on your system in the Device Manager: Access the Device Manager through Control Panel/System/Device Manager.
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.
Select the device you want to configure from the list box and press the OK button. After you have clicked OK, you will see a PCI-1736UP Device Setting dialog box such as the one in Fig. 2-6.
2.4.2 Configuring the Device On the PCI-1736UP Device Setting dialog box (Fig. 2-6), you can configure the IDI00, IDI01 and DI00, DI01 Interrupt trigger mode either as Rising Edge or Falling Edge, and Enable or Disable the IDI00, IDI01 and DI00, DI01.
Note: As we have noted, the device name “000:<PCI- 1736UP BoardID=0 I/O=1000H>” begins with a device number “000”, which is specifically assigned to each card. The device number is passed to the driver to specify which device you wish to control. After your card is properly installed and configured, you can click the [Test…] button to test your hardware by using the testing utility we sup- plied.
