STEP 7 - Configure and test the System using the Daq* Configuration Applet
The Daq* Configuration applet 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.
a. Select the Computer image in the Device Inventory configuration tree (following figure).
b. Click the <Add Device> button. The “Select Device Type” box will appear.
c. Select the DaqBook2000E or the WaveBook516E from the list of devices, as applicable.
d. Click the <OK> button. The “Properties” box will appear for the selected device.
