2.4 Device Setup & Configuration
The Device Manager program is a utility that allows you to set up,
configure and test your device, and later stores your settings on the
system registry. These settings will be used when you call the APIs
of Advantech Device Drivers.
Setting Up the Device
Step 1: To install the I/O device for your card, you must first run the
Device Installation program by accessing:
Start/ Programs/ Advantech Automation/ Device Manager/
Advantech Device Manager.
Step 2: You can then view the device(s) already installed on your
system (if any) in the Installed Devices list box. Since you
haven’t installed any device yet, you might see a blank list
such as the one in Fig. 2-4..
Step 3: Scroll down the Supported Devices box to find the device that
you want to install, then click the Add... button to evoke the
Existing Unconfigured Device dialog box such as the one
shown in Fig. 2-5. The Existing Unconfigured Device dialog
box lists all the installed devices of selected option on your
system. Select the device you want to configure from the list
box and press the OK button. After you have clicked OK, you
will see a Device Setting dialog box such as the one in Fig.
2-6.
