/***********************************************************/ /* DIO LabVIEW Development Toolkit */ /* for Windows NT */ /* */ /* Version : 3.00.20 */ /* Update : July-16-2001 */ /* */ /* Support : P16R16DIO/P8R8DIO */ /* DIO-24, DIO-48, DIO-64, DIO-96, DIO-144 */ /* */ /***********************************************************/ /* This content is valid only for WINDOWS NT */ /***********************************************************/ A). The Disk Contents: If you download the toolkit from our web, please... A-1. Create an temp folder, for example: "c:\setup". A-2. Run the Disk1.exe to extract the setup programs to the temp folder, for example: "c:\setup". ( Disk1.exe is an self-extraction file ) A-3. Copy the related Data?.cab into the temp folder. (for example: "c:\setup".) If you have the CD-ROM with the board, please refer to the "Readme.txt" file (under the root folder of CD-ROM) to find out the folder that contains the related toolkit . |--\README.TXT <-- This file. | |--\SETUP <-- sub-directory |--\Setup.exe <-- the Setup program B). Installation Steps B-1. Insert disc into CD-ROM drive ( D: or ... ). B-2. clicking Start/Run in the task Bar. B-3. enter the path and file name to run it. (Install from the CD-ROM or the temp folder that you download and save the files into.) (Note: You also can follows the MENU to install the software if your system supports Auto-Run mechanism.) B-4. Following those instructions in installation process to complete it. B-5. Shutdown your system. B-6. Plug the data-acquisition board into your system. B-7. Start your system. C) After installed, After installed, the DIO.DLL will be copied into C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 and the NAPWNT.SYS, NAPDIO.SYS into C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. ( The device driver of DIO and ISO are the same.) The item "DAQPro DIO LvNT" will be added into the "Add/Remove Programs" (under "Control Panel") Following registry key and value will be created ...... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: system\CurrentControlSet\Services\NAPDIO\ErrorControl=0x00000001 system\CurrentControlSet\Services\NAPDIO\Start=0x00000002 system\CurrentControlSet\Services\NAPDIO\Type=0x00000001 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Napwnt\ErrorControl=0x00000001 system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Napwnt\Start=0x00000002 system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Napwnt\Type=0x00000001 Or, you can register those registrys by dobule-click on Napwnt.reg and Napdio.reg. D). After installed, the sub-directoried tree as follows: The default [Base Directory] is "\DAQPro\DIO LvNT".
