ISO-16.PCI User Manual

Introduction

The ISO-16.PCI provides 16 optically isolated inputs (rated for 3-13V) to allow monitoring of off board switch closures, relays or for any other general purpose monitoring needs. The ISO-16.PCI is PCI 2.1 bus compliant.

The ISO-16.PCI is designed to be used with a variety of Operating Systems including Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP, Linux and DOS. The SeaI/O API (Application Programmer Interface) included on CD with the ISO-16.PCI provides a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented as a Windows dynamic link library (DLL) and as a Linux kernel module and library. In addition to the API, SeaI/O includes sample code and utilities to simplify software development.

Software Installation

Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Installation

Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully installed.

1. Start Windows.

2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.

3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically

launch. Otherwise, point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root directory of the CD

4. Select ‘Install Software’.

5. Select the Part Number for your adapter from the listing.

6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically

detect the operating environment and install the proper components. Next (depending on your browser) select the ‘Run this program from its current location’ or ‘Open’ option. Follow the information presented on the screens that follow.

7. A screen may appear with the declaration: “The publisher cannot be

determined due to the problems below: Authenticode signature not found.” Please select the ‘Yes’ button and proceed with the installation. This declaration simply means that the Operating System is not aware of the driver being loaded. It will not cause any harm to your system.

8. During setup the user may specify installation directories and other preferred

configurations. This program also adds entries to the system registry that are necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each driver. An uninstall option is also included to remove all registry/INI file entries from the system.

Windows NT Card Installation: After accomplishing the above steps, bring up the Control Panel and double-click on the SeaIO Devices icon. To install a new card, click "Add Port". Repeat this procedure for as many SeaIO cards as you wish to install.
