Appendix I
Installing the
Computer-Controller Interface
Introduction
This appendix will lead you through the process of installing the communications
interface between the ST-133 and the host computer. Following these steps explicitly will
help insure proper connection to your computer.
Note: If the computer is purchased from Roper Scientific, it will be shipped with the
appropriate card already installed. The USB 2.0 interface is supported by WinView/32
and WinSpec/32, version 2.5.14 and higher. The ISA interface is supported in
WinView/32 and WinSpec/32 through version 2.5.X. ISA will not be supported by
versions 2.6 and higher.
To avoid risk of dangerous electrical shock, the computer power should be OFF when
installing the computer interface. Users are advised to review the documentation for their
computer before performing the installation.
Installing the Application Software
Installation is performed via the
WinView/32 or WinSpec/32
installation process. If you are
installing WinView or WinSpec for
the first time and have a TAXI
interface, you should run the
installation before the PCI interface
card is installed in the host
computer. On the
Select
Components
dialog box (see
Figure 60), click on the
AUTO PCI
button to install the interface card
drivers (PCI and the Roper
Scientific USB drivers) and the
most commonly installed program
files. Select the
Custom
button if
you want to choose among the

available program files or do not want to install the PCI driver.
Note: WinView/32 and WinSpec/32 (versions 2.6.0 and higher) do not support the ISA
interface.
