2.2 SQM-242 Driver Installation
1
Turn on the computer and start Windows. Windows will find new hardware and
prompt to Install Device Drivers.

If you are prompted for the location of the Device Drivers, insert the INFICON
CD-ROM and direct Windows to D:\SQM242 Card\SQM242_V100_DRIVERS
(assuming D is your CD drive).
3
When driver installation is complete, you may be prompted to restart your
computer.
4
Check the README.txt file in the \SQM242 Card\SQM242_V100_DRIVERS
folder of the INFICON CD-ROM for additional steps that are specific to your
version of Windows.
5
Verify that the card was installed properly in Device Manager. Right-click on My
Computer, then left-clicking on Properties. Click on the Device Manager tab
(Hardware tab in Windows 2000 or XP, then Device Manager). You should see
Sigma Instruments listed, with the SQM-242 cards in the sub folder.
If the card is not listed (or has a red x or yellow exclamation point), repeat the
installation procedures above carefully.
NOTE: Occasionally it may be necessary to completely uninstall and reinstall a
card. Highlight the improperly installed card in Device Manager and press
Card\SQM242_V100_DRIVERS folder of the INFICON CD-ROM. Reboot
the computer, then follow the steps above carefully.
2.3 Software Installation
SQM-242 Card programs are also on the INFICON CD-ROM. Insert the CD-ROM,
click the Windows Start button, and then select Run. Type D:\SQM242
Card\Setup.exe and click OK.
Accept the default installation prompts. When installation completes, you may be
prompted to restart your computer. This installer will install three programs:
SQM-242 CoDep, SQM-242 Monitor, and SQM-242 Multi.
To run the any software program, click Start, then Program, then Sigma
Instruments and select the program.
To verify the SQM-242 cards are properly installed, start SQM-242 CoDep. Select
the View menu, then Card Setup. If the card revision for each installed card is
greater than 0.00, then it is installed properly.
NOTE: If the version is shown as 0.00, then reinstall the Windows drivers as
. Pay particular attention to any Windows version
specific instructions in the README file.
