6. Using the Configuration Applet to Check Connections
After software installation you should verify that proper communication exists between the WavePort and your
Notebook. You can use the Daq Configuration applet to test this aspect of hardware performance. Note that the applet
is automatically installed in the Windows Control Panel during installation of the WaveBook program group.
The Daq Configuration applet tests the capabilities of the PC parallel port (or WBK20/21 interface), then estimates the
maximum performance, using both standard and enhanced protocols. In addition, the test verifies WavePort is
connected and ready for operation.
Reference Note:
A section entitled, A Guide to Using the Daq Configuration Applet, begins on the following page. The section
includes detailed information regarding the Daq Configuration applet and includes screen shots.
To run the WavePort test program:
1. Ensure WavePort is connected to the Notebook PC.
2. Verify both the Notebook and WavePort are powered.
3. Double-click on the Daq Configuration applet (in the Windows Control Panel).
4. Select the WaveBook device.
5. Click on Properties.
6. Click on the Resource Test button (within the Test Hardware tab).
The program performs several tests on the Notebook and WavePort and displays the results. Once communication
between the Notebook and WavePort has been established you can start WaveView and collect data.
