MCC DAQ driver for a PCI board

[Mengfan]

Hi,

I am trying to install the hardware “pci-das1000” on the computer Dell OptiPlex 7040 with a Windows 10 system. The user’s guides say that “the driver needed for this device is installed with the MCC DAQ software” (as shown in screenshot 1). However, after I installed the MCC DAQ software/driver, the computer still indicated that “no compatible drivers” (screenshot 2). The software Instacal also does not detect the “pci-das1000”.

Hello @Mengfan

The PCI-DAS1000 uses an AMCC PCI controller that was designed for 32 bit operating systems.  It will not install on a 64 bit Windows OS, further to that, it was not tested nor are there plans to test it on Windows 10.

As stated on the MCC product page (https://www.mccdaq.com/pci-data-acquisition/PCI-DAS1000.aspx), it is "Not recommended for new designs."

Hi Jeffrey,

Thank you for your prompt response. Now I am indeed using a 64 bit Windows OS. Next I will change a 32 bit one. Another question is that if the PCI-DAS1000 works for Win 7? The User's Guides only say it works for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Thank you,

Mengfan

It was last tested on Windows up to XP.  It was not tested on any newer Windows OS than XP so no promises.

I see. I will use a 32 bit Windows XP OS. I will update you here if it works or not. Thank you!

Thank you Jeffrey, the 32 bit Windows XP do work.
