2. Operating system
-----------------

Windows 7 / 64 bits



3. Installation
---------------

When you have inserted the IK 220 card and restarted the computer, please follow the instructions of the automatic installation wizard. The driver should be installed by manual search. To do so, select the directory containing the IK220.inf file.

To install the device driver, you must have administrative rights on the target computer.

To be able to access the IK 220, the /Lib/IK220Dll64.lib and /Include/DLLGlob.h files must be integrated in the software project for the application program.



4. Supplements
--------------

For reasons of compatibility, the new function IK220Find_64() has been introduced. For new projects, this function should be used instead of the IK220Find() function. It must be noted that the parameter of the pointer type is on UINT64. The addresses of the axes of the installed IK200 are output as 64-bit values.

The IK220Find() function must not be used on 64-bit operating systems because it might yield incorrect results and lead to error messages.

For 64-bit operating systems IK220Dll64.dll has to be used.
