Installing the hardware
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install the WLS-IFC
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install the
MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing
the software.
To connect the WLS-IFC to your system, do the following:
1. Turn your computer on, and connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer or to an external USB
hub connected to your computer. The USB cable provides power and communication to the WLS-IFC.
Always connect an external hub to its power supply
If you are using a hybrid hub (one that can operate in either self-powered or bus-powered mode), always
connect it to its external power supply.
