Driver Configuration utility
to support more than one
board. The Driver Configu-

The Utility can be found in
the start menu as „DrvCon-
fig“.

To add a new card please follow these steps:

• Increase the board number on top of the screen by pressing the right button
• Change the board type from „Not Installed“ to „PCI Board“
• Press the „Apply changes“ button
• Press the „OK“ button
• Restart the system

Driver - Update

If a new driver version should be installed no Spectrum board is allowed to be in use by any software. So please stop and exit all software
that could access the boards.
When updating a system please simply execute the setup file of the new driver version. Afterwards the system has to be rebooted. The driver
configuration is not changed.
