2.1  Software Installation 

 

Installation under Windows 

The following basic procedure should be used: 

If you have received the driver software as an archive file, please 
unpack the software before installing the board. First choose a 
directory on your computer (e.g.

).  

Use the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS) for 
programming your new data acquisition hardware. For installation 
and operation of the driver system, please follow the 
documentation in electronic form included with the software 
package.
