STEP 7  –  Configure and test the System using the Daq* Configuration Applet
 
 
The Daq* Configuration applet, designed for 32-bit Windows NT/2000/XP systems, is located 
in the Windows Control Panel.  It allows you to add or remove a device and change 
configuration settings. The included test utility provides feedback on the validity of current 
configuration settings, as well as performance summaries. 
1.  Open the Daq* Configuration Applet. 
a.  Open the Control Panel by navigating from the Windows’ Desktop as follows: 
Start Menu  Settings  Control Panel 
b.  From the Control Panel, double-click the Daq* Configuration icon. 
2.  Add the first-level device to the list of installed devices.  
The first-level device is the device that will be connected directly to the Ethernet, via a host 
computer’s Ethernet jack or a jack on a network hub.  DaqLab/2001 is an example of a first-
level device. 
a.  Select the Computer image in the Device Inventory configuration tree (following 
figure). 
b.  Click the <Add Device> button.  The “Select Device Type” box will appear. 
c.  Select the device from the list of devices.  In our example we are selecting a 
DaqLab/2001. 
d.  Click the <OK> button.  The “Properties” box will appear for the selected device. 
 
 
Using Daq Configuration’s “Device Inventory” and  
”Select Device Type” to Add a Device 
 
Note:  Although the above figure indicates that a DaqLab/2001 was selected as the 
first level device, we could similarly have selected another device, for 
example, a DaqLab/2005 or a DaqScan/2004. 
 
3.  Set the properties of the first-level device. 
In this step you will set the device properties according to one of the following two methods, 
depending on whether you have a “Dedicated Network” or a “LAN with DHCP Server Network.”  
Illustrations of the network types are provided on page 6-3.
