2.3 RUN InstaCal

Run the InstaCal program in order to test your board and configure it for run-time use. By configuring the board, you add information to the configuration file, cb.cfg, that is used by the Universal Library and other third-party data acquisition packages that use the Universal Library to access the board.

2.3.1 LAUNCHING InstaCAL

Launch InstaCal by going to your Start Menu then to Programs, then to ComputerBoards, and finally choosing InstaCal. You may also launch the program by going to START>RUN and typing INSCAL32, or by finding the file named "inscal32.exe" in your installation directory and double clicking it.

InstaCal will display a dialog box indicating the boards that have been detected in the system. If there are no other boards currently installed by InstaCal, then the PCI-DAS1000 board will be assigned board number 0. Otherwise it will be assigned the next available board number.

You can now view and change the board configuration by clicking the properties icon or selecting the Install\Configure menu.

2.3.2 TESTING THE INSTALLATION

After you have run the install program, it is time to test the installation. The following section describes the InstaCal proce- dure to test that your board is properly installed.

With InstaCal running:

1.Select the board you just installed.

2.Select the "Test" function.

Follow the instructions provided to test for proper board operation.
