2.6 Windows 95/98/ME Installation
The Windows 95/98/ME software supports a maximum of 5 CAN modules of the same type within one
system. The number of different CAN modules in one system is not limited.
Note:
The CAN-USB-Mini module does not run under Windows
95
!
2.6.1 Installation of PCI-Bus Boards and CAN-USB-Mini
1. Install the board according to the hardware installation description.
2. After run-up Windows 9x/ME detects the board and opens an information window. If Windows
has not found the driver (e.g. if it is the first installation), you are asked to insert the data carrier
(disk or CD-ROM) with the driver.
3. At the end of the software installation you have to shut down the computer. Terminate all active
applications before you shut down the computer. After restart, the driver is automatically started and
in the device manager the new device type
CAN Controller
now exists, which can be used to display
and edit all
esd
-CAN boards.
4. Now install the SDK as being described on page 53. The SDK contains the files which are required
for developing your own applications as well as the monitor program CANreal.
Special features at installation of CAN-PCI/360:
CAN-PCI/360-modules which were manufactured before 01.01.2000 report their maximum memory
upgrade of 128 Mbyte to the system during installation, even if they have got less capacity. These
boards might get into conflict with graphics boards which act similarly. For these boards the actual
memory space requirement can be configured via the Device Manager. More about the Device
Manager can be found in chapter ‘Changing the Resources Settings via the Device Manager’ on
page 39.
CAN-PCI/360-modules which were manufactured after 01.01.2000 do not have this problem
anymore.
