7. Select the “Test Hardware” tab.
8. Verify that the DaqBook/2000 Series device has been properly installed and powered-on. Proper
installation includes the parallel port cable being firmly in place on both the DaqBook/2000 Series device
and on the host PC’s parallel port.
9. Click the <Resource Test> button.
Appendix G, Resource and Performance Test, includes a brief explanation of the test.
10. Click the <T
est> button.
Testing the DaqBook/2000 Series device may, in some cases, cause the system to hang.
If test results are not displayed in 30 seconds or the system does not seem to be responding,
reboot the system. Upon power-up, re-enter the Daq Configuration and change the
DaqBook/2000 Series device configuration settings to those that work properly.
This completes the instructions for connecting a DaqBook/2000A or a DaqBook/2000X to a PC parallel port.
At this point you should refer to the DaqBook/2000 Series User’s Manual (p/n 1103-0901) for additional
system information. You can access the document directly from the opening screen of the data acquisition CD
via the <View PDFs> button. The user manual includes pinouts, information on system expansion, data
acquisition, and links to software and programming documents (in PDF format).
