A Word about Personal488 Documentation
To ensure that your Personal488 device is properly installed and to get
the most out of your device, it is important that you refer to the full-
version user’s manual PDF after using this installation guide.
Your Personal488 documentation exists in two formats:
• Electronic (an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of a full-version user’s manual)
• Hardcopy (a printed user’s guide, this manual)
The electronic document is included on your installation CD and will be installed on your PC’s
hard drive when the software is installed. The default location of the document is the
Programs group. It can be navigated to from the Windows Desktop Start Menu as follows,
providing that you did not choose an alternate location:
> Start
> Programs
> IOtech Driver 488.xx
> User Manuals
The electronic document is the Personal488 User’s Manual for Windows 95/98/Me/
NT/2000/ and XP, part number 495-0903. That document includes the material covered by
this one, plus a great deal of additional material. The additional topics are provided on the
following page.
The hardcopy document is this manual. It is designed to help you install software and
hardware, regardless of your board type or type of Windows operating system.
After completing the installation you will need to review the contents of the larger
manual for additional information, as needed. For example, you will need to read
about the Bus Configuration Utility and WinTest.
