Install Sequence for NT Device Driver : DPGrab.sys
--------------------------------------------------
This driver was tested under Windows NT v4.0 only at this time. The
driver supports the XPG ISA/VL, XPG-PCI, and FPG-PCI products.
Installation :
--------------
1) The NT driver is installed automatically during the XVL Software
Product installation. Both the CDROM and Floppy disk install
procedures copy the driver to the Windows NT System32\Drivers
directory.
After installing the XVL Software Product, change the default
directory to %DIPXPG%\pc\SetupDPG .
(Here, %DIPXPG% is the environment variable that points to the
base directory where the XVL Software is installed).
2) In this directory you will find the following files :
a) SetupDPG.exe : Setup program for Power Grabbers.
b) ms*.dll : Six dll files used by SetupDPG.exe
These files provide facilities for Installation of a new driver or
for Reconfiguration of an existing driver.
3) New Driver Installation :
Run the SetupDPG.exe program. An input box asks how many ISA Power
Grabber boards are to be installed. If no ISA boards are present,
enter 0 here. Otherwise, enter the number of ISA boards to be
installed. Follow the setup programs instructions and specify the
I/O addresses and IRQs to be assigned to each ISA Power Grabber
device.
On completion of the install, the system will be rebooted.
4) Reconfiguration of an Existing Driver
An existing driver needs to be reconfigured only if XPG-ISA/VL devices
are either added to the system or have their base addresses modified
(via jumpers) following the initial driver installation.
Run the SetupDPG program as detailed in Step 3 and enter the updated
values for the number of ISA boards, their I/O addresses, and the IRQs
assigned to them.
On completion of this reconfiguration, the system will be rebooted.
5) Updating an Existing Driver with the New Release
The new NT driver is copied to the Windows NT System32\Drivers
directory during the XVL Software Product update installation.
Simply reboot the system to start using the new driver.
(NOTE : If you were previously using the XVL Software on Windows NT
using the GenPort driver, you MUST DISABLE the GenPort driver
using the Devices applet in the Control Panel. )
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.
