Installing the driver and support software

  1. Open a terminal and run these commands:
    1. cd drivers/pci-dask_410/util
    2. ./dask_conf
      • You'll need to select board #28
    3. cd ../drivers

Loading the driver

  • Note: If you've already installed one of the other Adlink cards requiring the PCI DASK drivers, there is no need to modify the /etc/rc.local file.
  • Manually loading the driver
    • Simply run su -c '/home/hwtester/drivers/pci-dask_410/drivers/dask_inst.pl /home/hwtester/drivers/pci-dask_410'
  • To set up automatic loading:
    • Add (if it's not there already) "/home/hwtester/drivers/pci-dask_410/drivers/dask_inst.pl /home/hwtester/drivers/pci-dask_410" to /etc/rc.local

Testing the card

  1. Open a terminal and run the following commands
    1. cd drivers/pci-dask_410/samples/8554/8554util/
    2. ./8554util
  2. Touch a scope's probe to each of the top ports and see what is output when 0 is pressed.
