Overview and General Information
This guide explains how to install, configure, and utilize enhancements of the
TAMS 61622 GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) interface.
GPIO is a parallel interface that is flexible and allows a variety of custom
connections. A PCI expansion slot is required to accommodate the GPIO
interface card.
The TAMS 61622 card has a rotary switch on the upper edge that is not used in
systems running Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP. The configuration of the card, in
Windows, is completely done in software.
Since the configuration of the GPIO interface is done in software, rather than
using DIP-switches or jumpers, this guide also provides an explanation of the
configuration process as it relates to the HP/Agilent Standard Instrument Control
Library (SICL). Adetailed description of the TAMS 61622’s functionality is
included to aid in this configuration process.
The TAMS 61622 provides 16 bit data exchange with peripheral devices that do
not support more common interface protocols like HP-IB or RS-232. Connection
flexibility is augmented in the TAMS 61622 GPIO interface by extra status and
control lines, a choice of handshake methods, several data-latching options, and
selectable data width and polarity.
There are two basic modes for the data ports in the TAMS 61622 GPIO interface. The
TAMS 61622 can be configured like an HP 98622 GPIO interface, which is called
Compatibility Mode. Alternately, the TAMS 61622 can be configured with a bi-
directional data port and auxiliary control lines, which is called Enhanced Mode and
supported by HP 2074/5.

Installing the GPIO Interface
This section explains how to install the TAMS 61622 GPIO interface in the
computer. To complete the installation:
1. Make sure the computer power switch is off.
2. Refer to the Owner’s Guide of your computer for instructions on opening
your computer and installing PCI boards.
3. Install the GPIO interface in the PC by plugging the card into the PCI slot.
Make sure that the card is firmly seated in the slot.
Follow the instructions being careful to handle the TAMS 61622 board only
by its metal bracket. Avoid contact with the edges. After the board has been
plugged in and the retaining screw installed the computer should be
reassembled.
4. Prepare and install the GPIO interface cable.
Note: The TAMS 61622 is a PCI device. Unlike most EISA and ISA devices a
PCI device does not require an I/O address or IRQ setting. These settings are
handledautomatically.

HP/Agilent Standard Instrument Control Library for Windows
(SICL)
To configure the TAMS 61622 GPIO interface for the HP/Agilent Standard
Instrument Control Library (HP/Agilent SICL) for Windows, see the “Installing and
Configuring the HP/Agilent I/O Libraries” chapter of the HP/Agilent I/O Libraries
Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows.
To develop HP/Agilent SICL I/O applications for the TAMS 61622 on a PC, see
the “Using GPIO with HP/Agilent SICL” chapter of the HP/Agilent SICL User’s
Guide for Windows. HP/Agilent SICLfunctions, including those that are GPIO
specific, are fully described in the HP/Agilent SICL Reference Manual.

Driver Installation
Driver installation assumes basic knowledge about software installation
procedures specific to the platform. Refer to your platform specific operating
system documentation or contact your system administrator.
To install the t61622 driver it is not necessary for the TAMS 61622 interface
card(s) to be present in the system. Configuration, however, requires the card(s)
and driver to both be present.
Important! The HP/Agilent IO libraries (SICL) or HTBasic for Windows
needs to be installed before you proceed with the TAMS 61622 GPIO card driver
installation.
Windows NT 4.0 Installation
1. Make sure you have privileges enabling you to install device drivers.
2. Insert the CD with the t61622 driver into the CD-ROM drive.
3. Run “setup.exe” from the CD directory “NT4_VERx.xx”.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen displayed by the setup utility.
5. Follow the instructions on page 15, in the section titled: Configuring the
Card in Windows NT4.0 / 2000 / XP

Windows 2000 installation
After installing the card and booting for the first time the Windows 2000 plug and
play manager will detect the new hardware (TAMS GPIO card), the screen looks
like this:
Click on cancel.

1. Make sure you have privileges enabling you to install device drivers.
2. Insert the CD with the t61622 driver into the CD-ROM drive.
3. Run “setup.exe” from the CD directory “W2K_VERx.xx”.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
You may or may not get the following message:
5. Click on Yes and/or Next and continue with the instructions on the screen.
6. Finally, the installation program will ask you to reboot your PC. Please go
ahead and do so.
7.After reboot your TAMS 61622 GPIO card should be ready to be configured.
Now, please follow the instructions on page 15, in the section titled: Configuring
the Card in Windows NT4.0 / 2000 / XP

Configuring the Card in Windows NT4.0 / 2000 / XP
1. Make sure that the HP/Agilent SICL software package, TAMS 61622 card(s)
and the t61622 driver are installed and the computer rebooted.
2. Configure the interface by executing the IO Config program, which will now be
located in the SICL/bin subdirectory. You should also have a shortcut under Start-
> Programs->Agilent IO Libraries
Note: Configuration of TAMS 61622 interface assumes knowledge of SICL
configuration procedures specific to the platform. Refer to SICLdocumentation.
If theAgilent IO Libraries were installed using the default values the SICL\bin
subdirectory will be found here:
Window NT: C:\SICLNT\bin or C:\SICL\bin\
Windows 2000 / XP: C:\Program Files\Agilent\IO Libraries\bin\
Upon execution, the IO Config program will present a window like this:

3. In the “Available Interface Types” list box select “TAMS 61622 PCI-GPIO” and
click Configure button.
4. If more than one 61622 card is present on the system, select the card to
configure. ( If more than one card is present the following window will appear. if
you have only one card continue to the next step):
5. Select the 61622 card you wish to configure (if you have one card only, you will
not need to select any card, the system will do it automatically for you).
6. Click on OK. Now the following window will appear:
