6 • Installation
After installing PCIS-OPC software component then re-entering Windows
98, to ensure the success of hardware device installation, you can open
the Device Manager in Start>>Settings>>Control Panel>>System, and
then select the Device Manager tab.
In Device Manager, you should find the device in NuDAQ. You can
double-click the device, select the Resources tab to check if I/O port and
IRQ resources for the device are allocated successfully.
2.4.2 Windows NT
Because Windows NT is not a Plug and Play system, you have to register
the device driver manually by NuDAQ PCI Configuration Utility. This utility
accompanied with PCIS-OPC is provided for making the driver registries
and card configuration. The configuration setting by this utility is the buffer
size of the continuous AI/AO/DI/DO operation. The continuous operation
means performing data acquisition with pacer trigger and interrupt/DMA
transfer. Since NuDAQ PCI card OPC server does not use this
functionality, it does not use the buffer. To save the system memory, you
can set the buffer size to 0.
The main window of NuDAQ PCI Configuration utility, PciUtil, is shown
below. In Windows NT system, if any PCI card driver has been registered,
it will be shown on the Registered Driver list.
