Installation

2.4.3 Windows 2000

Windows 2000 and NuDAQ PCI data acquisition cards work very well

together because Windows 2000 includes Plug and Play capabilities.

Once Windows 2000 has started, the Plug and Play function of Windows

2000 system will find the new NuDAQ PCI cards. If this is the first time to

install NuDAQ PCI cards in your Windows 2000 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 “DASK2000Inf” 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 2000

system will identify and install any plugged NuDAQ PCI data acquisition

card automatically at system startup time.

After installing PCIS-OPC software component then re-entering Windows

2000, to ensure the success of hardware device installation, you can open

the Device Manager in Start>>Settings>>Control Panel>>System, and

then select the Hardware tab.
