7 ADwin-Gold 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 3.00.2332 or higher.
(Recommended: 3.00.2400 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.
– A PC slot metal sheet when the power adapter is used as power supply.
– 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
The following ADwin-Gold systems with USB interface are available:
Functions – ADwin-Gold with built-in USB interface
– ADwin-Gold -USB-Conv, an external USB-link-adapter in an aluminum
enclosure; all ADwin systems can be upgraded with the
USB-link-adapter.
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.
To ensure USB communication be as failure-free as possible, we recommend
to establish a low-impedance (short, very thick) ground connection between
PC-casing and the ADwin USB-device.
