USER MANUAL AGILENT ACQIRIS 10-BIT DIGITIZERS Models covered: DC122 / DC152 U1062A DC222

The PCI-8570/PXI-8570 User's Manual (Rev. 1.00) section 2.4 contains the software installation instructions. These should be executed before all

 If MATLAB is installed on your machine, you will be asked to point the installer to the MATLAB root directory. You should do this if you want the i

To install the device driver you have to rename the kernel module whose name matches the version of your kernel to a name without this version number.

You can check that the driver is loaded properly with lsmod. /sbin/lsmod | grep acqrsPCI If lsmod does not report a module named acqrsPCI, then th
