Hardware wizard appears. Close this wizard and then execute the driver setup.

Configuration

Before the installed device can be used in an application (e. g. CANalyzer, CANoe), it

has to be properly configured for the needed use case.

This configuration is done with the Vector Hardware Config tool which comes with

the driver installation. The tool can be found in: Windows | Start | Settings | Control

Panel | Vector Hardware and manages all installed Vector devices.

For the quick test described in this manual no further configuration is required.

Note: Further details on the Vector Hardware Config tool can be found in the

separate installation instructions at the end of this manual.
