Introduction 2-1.
This chapter describes how to prepare the instruments, host computers and
network for operation, and how to test and troubleshoot system operation.
Setting up your system requires the following steps (described in detail later in
this chapter), performed in the order shown:
• Instrument Preparation Unpacking and setting up the NetDAQ instrument.
This section of the manual describes all the connections, controls, and
indicators on the instrument.
• Host Computer Ethernet Adapter Installation Installing an Ethernet
adapter such as the 264XA-801, 264XA-802, or 264XA-803 if your host
computer does not already have one.
• Instrument and Host Computer Interconnection Connecting the host
computer(s) and instruments.
• Host Computer Software Installation Installing NetDAQ Logger for
Windows and networking software.
• Trend Link Installation (Optional) Installing Trend Link software on your
host computer.
• Testing and Troubleshooting Testing and verifying network operation, and
troubleshooting any difficulties.
Instrument Preparation 2-2.
This section contains information for preparing the instruments for operation
summarized in Figure 2-1.
