STEP B.6 - Configure and test the System using the Daq* Configuration Applet
The Daq* Configuration applet, designed for 32-bit Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP systems, is located in
the Windows Control Panel. It allows you to add or remove a device and change configuration settings.
The included test utility provides feedback on the validity of current configuration settings, as well as
performance summaries.
1. Open the Daq* Configuration Applet.
a. Open the Control Panel by navigating from the Windows’ Desktop as follows:
Start Menu ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Settings ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Control Panel
b. From the Control Panel, double-click the Daq* Configuration icon.
2. Add the first-level device to the list of installed devices.
The first-level device is the device that will be connected directly to the Ethernet, via a host computer’s
Ethernet jack or a jack on a network hub. The DaqBook/2000E and WaveBook/516E are each examples of
first-level devices.
