PCIe-TC software CD file set:

INTRODUCTION:
All PCIe-TC time code board models are complete. The production 
is starting to get underway on the several models and availability
should be soon on all of the models.  Most everything you should 
need software-wise is on this disk. Please read these instructions
carefully.


BOARD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Use these instructions only for this CD release.
The plan is that this may change and be updated
with later CD revision. The CD file set will
be available for download from our web site when
complete in addition to being sent with each
card.

Note that there is a 'userman.pdf' file included here, but
it is for the prior PCI-TC devices. There are some differences
in the PCIe-TC models, but we have NOT yet completed the
new user manual. Ask us questions specific for your needs
until then.


Here are some notes to take into consideration as
you get started.

1) The new PCIe cards are plug and play.
The cards should plug and play THREE or
FOUR TIMES!. (There are four devices
on the one interface chip. We only use
one of them, the others are also part of the chip set
but are not used).

As we are using an interface IC to communicate with the time
code circuit that is being used differently than it was
originally designed for, please do the following to speed
up installation and to override Microsoft's automatic selection
of a device driver (incorrectly so). See the other text files for
details regarding the driver installation.


I will be updating the CD file set distribution periodically
for the PCIe-TC product line.

There are a few other text files in the several directories that
you will want to read. See the "XP_PC clock setting" directory for
the instructions on setting up the service software that will
set the PC's  clock to match the time code.

Feel free to give us a call with any questions. It may be
much quicker than email, but email is also good.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
