serial cable (6050-0148-CE) to the 9-pin cable
connector on the PCI Serial Buffer Board mounting panel. The other end of the
serial cable connects to the Controller’s high-speed serial output connector. Take
care to tighten the screws at both ends of the cable using a small, flat-bladed
screwdriver.
Note: The PCI card has no user-changeable jumpers or switches.
Apple Macintosh
The PCI card can be installed and operated in any Macintosh having a PCI bus, allowing
the ST-133 or ST-133A to be controlled from the Macintosh via IPLab™ software and
the PI Extension.
Installing the PCI Card Driver
Administrator privileges are required under Windows NT, 2000, and XP to install
software and hardware.
The following information assumes that you have already installed the WinView/32 or
WinSpec/32 software. After you have secured the PCI card in the computer and replaced
the cover, turn the computer on. Unless an error occurs at bootup (See "Power-On
Checks"), Windows will try to install the new hardware. If it cannot locate the driver,
you will be prompted to enter the directory path, either by keyboard entry or by using the
browse function.
If you selected AUTO PCI during the application software installation, WinView/32 or
WinSpec/32 automatically put the required INF file into the Windows/INF directory and
put the PCI card driver file in the Windows/System32/ Drivers directory.
