PointScan Road Map 878395 1
Introduction
This document provides a “road map” for setting up a PointScan data acquisition system that is made
up of the following elements:
1. PointScan/100 and PointScan/200 series hardware modules,
which are configured using the IOToolKit software package.
2. KEPServerEX server software.
3. DASYLab client software.
This document is called a “road map” because it provides top-level directions to guide the user
through the setup process. Each software package (IOToolKit, KEPServerEX, and DASYLab) provides
more detailed setup information through on-line help screens.
This road map is designed for users who have the following system configuration:
• Both the DASYLab and KEPServerEX software packages are running on the same computer.
• The computer and the PointScan modules are connected using an Ethernet LAN (Local Area
Network).
This document covers the setup process for two network cases, (1) “Dedicated” LAN and
(2) “Shared” LAN. For most of the steps the instructions are identical. When differences do exist, the
steps for each case are clearly indicated.
Be sure to follow the steps as applicable to your LAN. If you are uncertain as to whether the LAN is
“Dedicated” or “Shared,” please consult your network administrator. The figures on the following two
pages should clarify any confusion regarding the type of LAN (Dedicated or Shared).
