Further information for installing and uninstalling the different
drivers is to be found in the delivered description "Installation

The supported software functions for the APCI-3003 are listed
in chapter Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden..
The board is supplied with a CD-ROM containing the ADDIPACK software
package for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP/2000/98.
ADDIPACK is composed of following programs:
ADDIREG: The ADDIREG registration program is a 32-bit program for
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP/2000/98. The user can register all hardware
information necessary to operate the ADDI-DATA PC boards.
ADDIDRIVER contains API functions to operate the “universal ADDI-DATA
boards” in 32-bits.
ADDevice Manager configures the resources of the ADDI-DATA virtual board
(see below).
ADDI-DATA virtual board:
ADDI-DATA software is based on the principle of a virtual board: It
transposes the different functions (e.g. analog inputs, digital outputs, timer,
etc.) of all inserted ADDI-DATA boards as the functions of a single (virtual)
board. The virtual board features a pool of functions, the functionality of which
can be called up without calling a specific board.
ADDEVICE MAPPER was specifically developed for the ADDIPACK boards
to facilitate the management of the virtual board. With this program you can
optimally adapt the virtual board to your application requirements.
IMPORTANT!
For some functions of the ADDEVICE MAPPER program the browser
Internet Explorer 6 or higher has to be installed on your PC.

APCI-3003 Software
6.1 Board registration
When starting the set-up of ADDIREG, the APCI-3003 is automatically
recognised and registered.
6.1.1 Installation of a new board
If a new board is recognised, the following window is displayed:
Fig. 6-1: New inserted board (example)
The boards which have been removed from the PC since the last ADDIREG start
are listed in the upper table
The new inserted boards are listed in the lower table.
In case further information is required for the operation of the board, click on
"More Information". ADDevice Manager is started.

Software APCI-3003
ADDevice Manager
Fig. 6-2: ADDevice Manager
The following parameters are displayed for every inserted board:
First column:
- Board name
- Board index: Number that is allocated to the board when it is registered in
ADDIREG.
- Slot number
- IRQ line
- Different addresses which are automatically allocated to the board by the BIOS.
Other columns:
The program distinguishes between the resources (analog/digital input/output,
watchdog etc.) of the virtual board (V, software) and the real board (R, board).
The following parameters are listed
- Module number,
- Number of resources
- Index: The first index line represents the number of the first resource (left:
virtual resource - right: real board). The second index line represents the
number of the last resource (left: virtual resource - right: real board).
- Type (24 V/5 V, voltage/current, HS/OC - High-Side/Open collector etc.): If in
this line “various” is showed, the resources are of different types. “Undefined”
means that the type of these resources is not defined.
- IRQ: If the input channels are interruptible, the program displays the number of
the first and of the last input/output channel
