Agilent Technologies DC211, DP240, DP212, DP214, DP110, DP1400, DP111 Installing the IVI-COM/C Driver

using the Install VI library for LabVIEW or LabVIEW Real-Timeshortcut available in the Shortcut folder under Start → Programs.

There is only one Acqiris Driver. It supports all Acqiris Instruments. The instructions below concern LabVIEW RT as used in NI PXI processors.

The Aq_RT.inf and AqRT_4.ini files must be uploaded to the target. To do this,

•start the MAX application,

•right click on the target

•select file transfer

•select the Aq_RT.inf file on your host machine and upload ('To Remote') to the LabVIEW RT working directory (/NI-RT/system) on the target

•select the Aq_RT.ini file on your host machine and upload ('To Remote') to the LabVIEW RT working directory (/NI-RT/system) giving it the name AqDrv4.ini

For Acqiris modules which need FPGA files you should,

•create the folder \firmware in the /NI-RT/system directory using the file transfer application

•select the FPGA files (from <AcqirisDxRoot>\Firmware) you want to copy to the target and upload them into the firmware directory

Restart the target after finishing the file transfers.

Restart the MAX Explorer and you should have Acqiris digitizers detected in your PXI system.

2.7.Installing the IVI-COM/C Driver

Please install Acqiris Software for Windows first. Then the Acqiris Software CD Autorun program gives access to two installers:

ƒIVI Shared Components 1.4

ƒIVI-COM/C IviAqD1 driver

These must be installed in the order shown above. For more information you can then consult the Readme.txt file in the IVI\Drivers\IviAqD1 folder or the documentation through the program shortcut present under Ivi/IviAqD1.

2.8.Distribution for Windows 2000/XP and Linux

The manuals/ReadMe.txt file contains a list of files to be found after a complete installation of Acqiris Software on Windows systems. Similarly the ReadMeLinux file gives the list of files corresponding to that installation.
