6 ADwin-light-16 system with USB interface
The first step The first step to install your ADwin system is always the installation of the
ADwin-CDROM (chapter 3 of this manual).
Please pay attention to the version number of the CDROM, especially if you
have an update. Depending on the interface, older versions do not always
have the necessary drivers.
For the installation you need an ADwin CDROM, version 3.00.2735 or higher.
System requirements The requirements for the installation are:
– Windows operating system 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP
The latest Windows update should be installed
– Enough room to install the system, depending on the type:
• L16-PCI: one empty PCI slot
• L16-EURO, L16-cPCI: an empty slot in the 19" enclosure
• L-16-EXT: an empty slot metal sheet for the power adapter
– Deactivate all energy saving functions of your PC operating system and
mainboards (BIOS); this is not necessary for the monitor and the hard
disk.
This configuration guarantees a correct function of the ADwin drivers
and also of your PC applications (e. g. test stand programs).
You make the configuration in the Windows start menu Settings
Control Panel Power Option
Functions The design and power supply of the ADwin-light-16 systems are different:
– L16-PCI: The PC plug-in board gets the power via PCI connector.
– L16-EURO / cPCI: The Euroboard module for 19" slots gets its power via
ground and +5 Volt at the rear panel.
– L16-EXT: the hardware is installed in an aluminum enclosure. For the
power suppy a power adapter is delivered.
With the USB interface you can use the "plug & play" feature of the Windows
operating system, such as the fast and easy installation even when using sev-
eral ADwin systems.
The interface has the following features:
After the installation of an update from the ADwin CDROM you have to restart
Windows and to switch off the ADwin system. If the ADwin system gets the
power from the PC, you must switch the PC off and on again - do not only
restart it.
If you switch off an ADwin system with USB interface, you must at least wait 5
seconds before you power it up again.
