6. Replace the cover slot holding screw to secure the board in place.
7. Replace the computer's cover and screws. Then reconnect all power cords and cables to the back of
the computer. If available, connect your external data acquisition instrument to the IEEE 488 port
connector on the interface.
8. Turn on your PC.
At this point, the hardware installation is complete. Continue to Step 2.
Step 2: Detecting the PCI488 Interface Board in "Add New Hardware"
1. After installing the IEEE 488 controller interface, turn on your computer. Windows will detect the
new hardware and prompt for a Manufacturer's Disk.
2. Insert the disk labeled "Driver488 Driver Disk, 1 of 1" into the floppy disk drive. Click OK.
3. The hardware will now be recognized and configured by Windows; the "Add New Hardware
Wizard" will auto-assign an available I/O base address, IRQ (Interrupt), and DMA channel.
(Additional PCI488 interfaces may share the same IRQ and DMA values.)
Continue as prompted to load the interface driver, but DO NOT restart Windows. Select No to
NOT shut down and go directly to the Device Manager to verify the presence of the new hardware
device.
At this point, the hardware detection is complete. Continue to Step 3.
Step 3: Verifying the PCI488 Interface Installation & Driver488 Software Settings
1. To confirm proper installation, open the Control Panel window from the Start > Settings menu,
click on the System icon, and select the Device Manager tab. Look for a device type named
"IEEE488.2 Controllers" and below it, verify the presence of the new hardware device.
2. During Driver488 installation, a new Control Panel applet titled "IEEE 488" was installed under the
Control Panel with default settings selected.
To verify or configure the Driver488 software settings for your IEEE 488 interface(s) and IEEE 488
external device(s), see chapter Driver488/W95 & Driver488/WNT on page 41.
3. Restart Windows and once again verify the hardware installation and Driver488 configuration in
Device Manager.
At this point, the hardware and driver verification is complete. Continue to Step 4.
Step 4: Installing the PCI488 Interface Software Support Files
1. Insert the disk titled "IEEE 488 Software Installation Disk, 1 of 2" into the floppy disk drive.
2. To install, you can do one of the following:
•
•
•
3. The Installation program will step you through various options on installing these software support
files.
Note:
4. Any or all of the installed software support files may be removed by going to the Control Panel
from the Start > Settings menu, double-clicking on the Add/Remove Programs icon, then selecting
"Personal IEEE 488 v 2.0", and clicking the Add/Remove... button.
At this point, the installation of software support files is complete.
