After your card is properly installed on your system, you can now config-
ure your device using the Device Installation Program that has itself
already been installed on your system during driver setup. Acomplete
device installation procedure should include device setup, configuration
and testing. The following sections will guide you through the Setup,
Configuration and Testing of your device.
2.4 Device Setup & Configuration
The Advantech 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.
2.4.1 Setting Up the Device
1. To install the I/O device for your card, you must first run the
Device Manager program (by accessing Start/Program/Advantech
Automation/Device Manager).
2. You can then view the device(s) already installed on your system
(if any) on the Installed Devices list box. Since you haven’t
installed any device yet, you might see a blank list such as the one
below (Fig. 2-4).
Note If your card is properly installed, you should see
the device name of your card listed on the
Device Manager tab. If you do see your device
name listed on it but marked with an exclamation
sign “!”, it means your card has not been cor-
rectly installed. In this case, remove the card
device from the Device Manager by selecting its
device name and press the Remove button.
Then go through the driver installation process
again.
