Installation of Tango-PCI controller
====================================

 1. Switch off your PC and be sure to also unplug the power line from wall outlet.
    This is not only for safety reasons but also switches off any standby voltage
    inside your PC. Otherwise you may damage your motherboard or the Tango-PCI
    during plugging or unplugging the PCI bus.

 2. Follow the instructions of your PC manufacturer to open your PC.

 3. Insert the Tango-PCI controller card into any empty PCI slot (again follow instructions of your PC manufacturer)

 4. Connect the Tango-PCI controller with +12V of the PC power supply using our standard HDD adapter cable.

 4. Close your PC (follow instructions of PC manufacturer)

 5. Connect your stage to Tango-PCI controller using the new motor cable.

 6. Connect the jogbox to Tango-PCI controller, if required.

 7. Connect the power line to wall outlet and switch on your PC.

 8. The new PCI hardware "PCI Serial Connection" will be detected by Windows XP (dialog appears).

 9. Insert the Tango CD into the PC CD/DVD drive.

10. In the dialog select automatic installation and press Continue.

11. Windows XP will automatically detect the driver on the CD. 
    If a warning dialog appears choose "Continue installation" of the Tango Controller.
    
12. The new PCI hardware "16c95x Serial Port" will be detected by Windows XP (dialog appears).

13. In the dialog select automatic installation and press Continue.

14. Windows XP will automatically detect the driver on the CD. 
    If a warning dialog appears choose "Continue installation" of the Tango Controller.

15. After successfull installation one new serial port will
    be added to your system. (For example com3:). 
    The port can be opened by using any baud rate, e.g.: 9600,8,1,N and no handshake.
    Choosen baud rate has no influence to controller performance.

16. The proper communication between controller and Windows XP may be tested
    e.g. with hyperterminal by typing any legal command for example "?ver" or "version".

17. The interpreter of the controller is set to language LSTEP as default.



Troubleshooting:
----------------

DRIVER INSTALLATION FAILS:

 If automatic driver installation fails, driver may be installed by 
 manually selecting the proper INF file. Driver installation requires the 
 "oxpci.inf" file which can be found on the CD in the "PCI_Version\driver\Tango-PCI WinXP\" folder.


STAGE DOES NOT MOVE:

 Please check if +12V of the PC power supply is connected to the Tango-PCI Card using a HDD power connector.
