Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration

Diagnostics

Once installed PowerDAQ DIO board must be properly recognized by

operating system and all PowerDAQ software.

In order to confirm board operation, install the PowerDAQ SDK

(software development kit), which installs a PowerDAQ application

control panel, and diagnostic program, that will display the board

configuration.

Software diagnostic procedure

Control panel applet provides generic board information and does not

perform diagnostic of operation of on-board subsystems. The only

things you can verify with Control Panel is that the board is installed,

recognized by Windows and which resources are allocated by the

board. Also, you can see board model, serial number and

manufacturing/calibration dates.

To access the PowerDAQ control panel, select START > Settings >

Control Panel and the PowerDAQ icon will be displayed.
