2. GETTING STARTED
This chapter describes the RCM5600W hardware in more detail, and
explains how to set up and use the accompanying Interface Board.
NOTE: This chapter (and this manual) assume that you have the RCM5600W Develop-
ment Kit. If you purchased an RCM5600W module by itself, you will have to adapt the
information in this chapter and elsewhere to your test and development setup.
2.1 Install Dynamic C
To develop and debug programs for the RCM5600W modules (and for all other Rabbit
hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C.
If you have not yet installed Dynamic C version 10.50 (or a later version), do so now by
inserting the Dynamic C CD from the Development Kit in your PC’s CD-ROM drive. If
autorun is enabled, the CD installation will begin automatically.
If autorun is disabled or the installation does not start, use the Windows Start | Run menu
or Windows Disk Explorer to launch setup.exe from the root folder of the CD-ROM.
The installation program will guide you through the installation process. Most steps of the
process are self-explanatory.
Once your installation is complete, you will have up to three new icons on your PC desk-
top. One icon is for Dynamic C, another opens the documentation menu, and the third is for
the Rabbit Field Utility, a tool used to download precompiled software to a target system.
If you have purchased any of the optional Dynamic C modules, install them after installing
Dynamic C. The modules may be installed in any order. You must install the modules in
the same folder where Dynamic C was installed.
