2.4 Device Installation

2.4.1 Windows 98

Windows 98 and NuDAQ PCI data acquisition cards work very well

together because Windows 98 includes Plug and Play capabilities. Once

Windows 98 has started, the Plug and Play function of Windows 98

system will find the new NuDAQ PCI cards. If this is the first time to install

NuDAQ PCI cards in your Windows 98 system and you haven’t installed

any ADLINK NuDAQ PCI card software, you will be informed to install the

device driver.

You can click Next button to go on installing device. The device

information files are located in “DASK98Inf” directory of ADLINK All-in-

One CD. However the device cannot work properly without the software

driver files. The installation of any NuDAQ PCI device will get the

unsuccessful device installation. Therefore we suggest you just click

Cancel button to skip it.

After installing PCIS-OPC software component, the INF files and Driver

files are copied into appropriate directories. With the well-installed Device

Information Files (.INF) and Device Driver Files (.SYS), Windows 98

system will identify and install any plugged NuDAQ PCI data acquisition

card automatically at system startup time.
