The DVC-4 will currently only run on 32 bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7; as of now there is no support for 64 bit operating systems! Customers wishing to use Windows 7 are advised to buy the Windows 7 Professional version and use the Xp downgrade, which will function as a true copy of Xp.
The DVC-8 will run on 64 bit versions of Windows 7 and Vista if the latest driver for the Daq1000 board is used; it may be downloaded from the this ftp site: ftp://ftp.mccdaq.com/downloads/iotech_software/DaqBoard_1000_2000_Series . If you purchased the system prior to April 1, 2010, please download the DacCom2Setup.Exe file ( 27 mb ) and install it instead of using the IOTech cd. Install the hardware as per the Quick-Start instructions and the system should be operational. If you have difficulty locating the Daq Configuration Utility, look in Start|Programs|Daq Software|DaqCPL.
Windows Xp, NT and 2000 have always had a security model where the user is required to log on as an administrator to have privileges to control hardware, which is what a controller does. Windows Vista takes it to a new level by not believing you! Even though you log on as an administrator, programs still run only as a common user unless you specifically request it and keep confirming that you are serious.
This means that the three software programs ( Sine, Random and Shock will not run right if started from the normal DVC-4 splash screen, but if you find them in Windows Explorer ( located in the C:\Program Files\DVCSHELL folder ) and right-click on them and select “Run As Administrator” they should run OK. The program names areDvc32Dsc.exe for Sine, Dvc32Drc.exe for Random and Dvc32Csc.exe for shock; you will be asked by Vista to confirm that you are serious each time. Once they start you will have to enter in the base address in each from Instacal and save the startup files as usual. Do not have the computer connected to a network, at least until the other issues get sorted out.
You can right-click on them and select “Send Shortcut to Desktop” to make launching easier. Oddly after a few sessions this way Vista seems to figure out that you are OK and actually want to do this and the splash screen will start working fine. I highly recommend sticking with Windows Xp for all instrumentation applications.
See attached resume.
