For Windows 95/98 Users:

Configure the DAQ-700

1.

If you hear the “happy” sound, click Start, and select Settings | Control Panel.

2.

Double-click the System icon. Select the Device Manager tab.

3.

In the “Device Manager” dialog box, find the hardware group named Data Acquisition Devices. Either
double-click the group or select the group and click Properties.

4.

Under the Data Acquisition Devices group, find the entry for your DAQ-700. Either double-click DAQCard-
700
, or select the entry and click Properties.

5.

Once you have selected your DAQCard-700 from the Device Manager, click the Resources tab. The entries
here control the hardware interface to your DAQ-700.

6.

In this dialog box, find the check box next to Use automatic settings. Clear that check box (deselect it).

7.

In the same dialog box, you will see entries for
Input/Output Range and Interrupt Request. The
Input/Output Range corresponds to the Base Address,
and the Interrupt Request corresponds to the IRQ in
our software. By deselecting the Use automatic
settings
box in the previous step, you disabled Plug-
and-Play for the DAQ-700. But in order to fully
disable Plug-and-Play, you must also change the
settings for either (or both) the Input/Output Range or
the Interrupt Request. To make this change, double-
click either Input/Output Range or Interrupt
Request
. A dialog box giving the current hardware
setting appears. On the right side of the Value box are
two small arrows: one up and one down. You must
use these arrows to change the hardware interface
parameters of either the Input/Output Range or the
Interrupt Request.
