Device Driver Installation Instructions
In general, installation of the driver is a simple matter of unzipping the device driver package to a temporary folder on your hard drive and then clicking on the “setup.exe” file.
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: The NIDAQ driver should always be installed from a Windows user account which has administrative privileges. If the user who will routinely be using the AFCBP1 Bipotentiostat does not have an account with administrative privileges, then special steps must be taken to assure that the user is granted access to certain installation folders. Click here for more details about this issue.
Activating the Device Driver
After you have installed the device driver on your computer (and after you have physically installed the interface board inside your computer), you should run the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) utility. The MAX utility is installed on your desktop when you install the NIDAQ device driver.
Using the MAX utility, look inside the “Legacy NIDAQ Devices” folder and make certain that your interface board appears. The interface board usually appears as a “PCI-MIO-16E-4” board in the list of legacy devices. It is usually assigned a device number equal to one (1).
