The Control Panel is accessed through the Windows Start Menu.

Windows Vista Users: IOtech Data Acquisition CDs (versions 8.0 and higher) include a daqxcpl.exe

2.

Add and configure your data acquisition device in the control Daq Configuration Control Panel Applet. Refer to the

data acquisition user’s manual for instructions on using the applet and configuring device names.

The "Device Name" assigned to the data acquisition hardware in the Daq Configuration utility will
be imported and used within DASYLab for hardware identification.

3.

Verify your hardware installation using the Resource
Test in the Daq Configuration Control Panel Applet.



After completing the Daq Configuration test use
WaveView, DaqView,
or DaqCOM Explorer to verify
connections and configurations.

Using WaveView in this manner can be very
beneficial, especially in applications making use of
WBK signal conditioning expansion modules.
