Personal488 User’s Guide
The family of Personal488 PC/IEEE 488 controller interfaces includes the six (6) interfaces which are discussed in this manual. All of them are IEEE 488.2 compatible and are supported by 32-bit Driver488 software for Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 and NT. These interfaces are discussed in the following Personal488 packages.
The installation process consists of running an installation setup program, and for non plug-and-play products running the Add New Hardware program found in the Windows Control Panel. The installation setup program will automatically determine the version of Windows (e.g. Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP) and copy all the necessary drivers and support files to the appropriate destinations. Note that on Windows systems with AutoPlay enabled, the setup program will automatically start upon insertion of the CD.
Install the software before installing the hardware. Since the installation setup program installs driver and INF files, plug-and-play boards will be automatically configured upon first startup, thus eliminating the need to insert the CD and browse for support files. For non plug-and-play devices all that is required to complete the installation is to run “Add New Hardware.” This will notify Windows that a new device exists.
