v1_installation

Setting up the DAW system
 * 1) Assemble all the components
 * 2) Download from our file repository ([|biodynamics.ucsd.edu/dialawave]) zip folder "DAW Setup.zip"
 * 3) Unzip the file and locate “IAI USB" driver
 * 4) Run and install the driver following all the prompts
 * 5) The process may require rebooting, go ahead and reboot, but DO NOT disconnect the USB cable from the actuators
 * 6) Locate the folder “RoboNET Setup Ver 1.0.2”
 * 7) Run “setup.exe” from folder “ æØƒ±ØÃﬂ “
 * 8) Run “ROBONET_CWParaSet.exe”
 * 9) NOTE: Port configuration should be the COM port assigned to the USB location. Basically after plugging in the USB cable, the operating system will automatically assign a COM port to the USB device that you are using. The binding port can be determined in “Device Manager”
 * 10) Baudrate (bps) should be set to 38400
 * 11) Connect by pressing “Read”
 * 12) Now changed the displayed baudrate to 38400
 * 13) To save the changed settings press “Write”
 * 14) Optional. If you want you can install the manufacturer’s supplied software. It can be found in the distribution directory under “RCPC Ver6.00.06”
 * 15) Modifying the communication cable. The end that connects to the ROBONET controller needs to be modified.
 * 16) You will need to cut the existing connector and separate the wires. The ROBONET controller should come with a custom 4 wire green connector, it should have the following markings on it: “SA”, “SB”, “FG”, and “SG”.
 * 17) Connect the yellow wire to the “SA”, and the orange wire to “SB”.
 * 18) Once done, plug in the new connector into appropriate location on the controller.
 * 19) On the controller flip the “MODE” switch to “AUTO”
 * 20) Open up the faceplate of the controller. You should see 4 dip switches. Using a pen or a screw driver flip switch 2 to the right. The other 3 switch should all be in the opposite state.
 * 21) Install LabVIEW, version 7.1 or higher
 * 22) Locate the "nimodbus12" folder and follow the instructions("readme.html") on how to install this library for LabView of your choice
 * 23) Copy the DAW program to your computer (location is not important)
 * 24) In the “Axis_Initialization.vi” change the communication port, to whatever port (COM1, COM2, COM3….) you are using for the control of the actuators
 * 25) Save the “Axis_Initialization.vi”
 * 26) Run “MAIN.vi”
