Software Installation

Step 1

Insert the IEEE488 Software CD. The CD has an auto-run program that will automatically start the
setup program when the CD is inserted into the CD ROM driver. If auto-run is disabled, use Explorer
to launch the Setup.exe found in the root directory of the CD.

Step 2

Follow the screen prompts to install the software, then proceed to hardware installation.

1. Access the Windows Control Panel and launch the IEEE488 configuration program.

Selecting “Properties” and “System Resources”


3. Click the Systems Resources button.


If Personal488/PCI is selected, then the System Resources button is not available. Windows
NT is not a plug-and-play operating system, and thus changing resources on a Plug-and-Play
interface is not possible.
