7.3. Precision Clock EVB Driver
The EVB requires a driver to be controlled by the software. The following section lists the steps for installing and
uninstalling the driver.
7.3.1. Install
The driver files must be installed before the EVB is connected to the PC via the USB cable. This installation usually
only needs to be completed once per PC.
1. Navigate to the "EVBDriver" directory on the CD.
2. Double-click on the PreInstaller.exe file to run the installation program for the driver.
3. Click Install in the dialog box. Be sure to select a location on the PC's hard drive for the files, if necessary.
4. If the PC is running Windows XP, click Continue Anyway when the wizard warns that the driver does not pass
the Windows Logo verification for XP.
After the above files are installed, the operating system will be able to identify the EVB's USB controller when the
EVB is connected to the PC. The following steps occur when the EVB is connected to the PC for the first time.
 For Windows 2000, when the EVB is connected to the PC, the operating system will display a dialog box
indicating that it found new hardware. No other action is required. The driver installation can be verified in the
Device Manager under the USB section; look for "Precision Clock EVB" in the list.
 For Windows XP:
1. When the EVB is connected to the PC, the Found New Hardware wizard will appear. Use the default
settings that will tell the PC to look for the driver.
2. Again, ignore the warning about the driver not passing verification by clicking Continue Anyway.
3. Click Finish to complete the install.
7.3.2. Uninstall
In the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Programs. Then select "Precision Clock EVB Driver Set" and click
Change/ Remove. The wizard will remove the associated files.
