Installation Instructions for Windows 2000/XP
( NOT valid for Plug&Play cards, see \readme.txt )
ISA cards are different to Plug&Play cards. Because the presense of
hardware cannot be detected automatically, the card(s) must be
added explicitely to the system.
(1) If a previous version of INES IEEE488.2 GPIB is installed:
Remove all previous installations of INES IEEE488.2 GPIB
by using <distribution-dir-or-drive>\tools\igclreg.exe
(2) Carefully configure the IRQ and IO settings of your card to
use non-conflicting resources. Resource conflict could damage
your hardware. Disable all DMA channels. NOTE your settings!
(3) Install (all) INES GPIB ISA card(s)
(4) Power on again your computer.
(5) Select (Windows)->(Settings)->(Control Panel)->(Add/Remove Hardware).
The Add/Remove Hardware Wizard appears.
(6) Select (Add/Troubleshoot a device), (Next). Windows does search for
new Plug&Play hardware.
(7) Select (Add a new device), (Next).
(8) Select (No, I want to select hardware from a list), (Next)
(9) Select (Other devices)
(10) Select (Have Disk), direct Windows to your distribution disk or
directory
(11) Select the type of your INES GPIB card
(12) Enter the resources assigned in step (2). If you cannot assign
a resource because Windows reports it as allocated: Quit the
(Add/Remove Hardware Wizard) and see (Troubleshooting Conflicting Resources) below.
(13) Select (Yes)
(14) Select (Start Hardware Installation)
(15) Repeat starting with step (5) for each card not yet installed. Otherwise
allow the (Add/Remove Hardware Wizard) to reboot your computer.
(16) Use the (Device Manager) to verify the installation.
(17) After the Hardware Wizard has finished, execute setup.exe from
the installation CD-ROM (or the directory containing the download
content) and follow the instructions of the installation program.
This adds the generic software components to your computer.
Troubleshooting Conflicting Resources
If Windows reports Resources as being allocated:
(1) there might be a real resource conflict with existing hardware.
Reconfigure your cards and start again.
(2) there might be remains from previously installation attempts,
(icglreg.exe) was not able to remove automatically. In this case
open the (Add/Remove Hardware Wizard), Choose (Deinstall Device)
and deinstall the devices wrongly reported as conflicting.
Download Driver Pack
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.
