Installation and packaging information for CEI-x30-SW
This document is organized into the following sections:
1. CEI-x30-SW Installation Instructions
3. CEI-x30-SW Distribution Contents
4. Removing CEI-x30-SW software or hardware components
To jump to any section, click on the section listed above. If you have not already done so, it is highly recommended you install the software prior to installing the hardware.
This document covers product content, as well as installation and removal procedures. Supplemental information on the CEI-x30-SW distribution can be found in the file:
README.HTML - Release notes for CEI-x30-SW software.
Windows-based Hosts
First, install the CEI-x30-SW software distribution. DO NOT insert the board/carrier into the PC prior to software installation.
VxWorks and Integrity-based Hosts
Follow the instructions as documented in the CEI-x30-SW Software User's Manual for installation in a VxWorks or Integrity system.
Linux-based Hosts
See the file Linux_install.txt for installation instructions for Linux systems.
CEI-x30-SW Software Installation
You must have administrative privileges to install the CEI-x30-SW software package. To install the software, follow these steps:
a. Exit all programs.
b. Insert the CEI-x30-SW Media into your CD drive. The installation program launches automatically when the CD is inserted into the drive. If it does not, double-click the file SETUP.EXE that is located in the SETUP subdirectory of the CEI-x30-SW CD-ROM.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS 10 USERS *** Certain Microsoft processes may prevent you from launching our installer for a period of time after logging in to your computer. When running our installer shortly after logging in, you may notice our installer appears briefly, then disappears completely for a period of time, after which it automatically appears again, starts up, and functions normally. At the time of this release, delays of two minutes or less have been commonly observed (although 5-7 minute delays were observed in some cases). There are currently no workarounds available to prevent this behavior, although disabling OneDrive has been shown to decrease the installer startup delay in some cases.
c. The automated installation and device configuration software will guide you through the installation process. Be sure to choose the matching board type you are installing.
d. Upon completing the software installation, power down your system and install the hardware.
Hardware Installation
Note these devices are static sensitive. Before handling the device, attach a static strap to the metal chassis of your system and assure the system is both connected to a grounded power source and powered off.
After installation of the software, insert the hardware device into any available slot and secure it in place with the appropriate fastener. Do not install the hardware until after the software installation has been performed.
Windows Driver Installation
After installing first the software then installing the hardware, restart your system. The Windows Device Manager should detect the new hardware upon startup and device driver installation should occur as described below.
Windows Server 2008R2/7/8.0/8.1/10/Server 2012 (32-bit or 64-bit)
The driver installation will occur automatically upon hardware detection.
1. A FOUND NEW HARDWARE dialog may appear after logging in. If it appears, go to step 1(a). If a FOUND NEW HARDWARE dialog has not appeared after a minute has elapsed since logging in, Windows may have silently installed the device - skip to step (2) in this case.
a. Select ‘Locate and install driver software (recommended)’.
b. When driver installation is complete, the message 'Device driver software installed successfully' appears.
2. Press the Windows key and R at the same time to display the "Run" window.
3. Type devmgmt.msc in the Open box and press <Enter> to open Windows Device Manager.
4. Verify that the device you installed is present beneath the Abaco Avionics Devices group. If the device is not present, reboot the system (this subsequent reboot is required on some systems in order for Windows to detect the new card).
Windows XP (32-bit)
1. The FOUND NEW HARDWARE dialog should appear indicating detection of the hardware device just installed.
2. If prompted to connect to Windows Update to search for drivers, select ‘No, not this time’ and click NEXT.
3. Select ‘Install the software automatically (Recommended)’ and click NEXT.
4. Under the COMPLETING THE FOUND NEW HARDWARE dialog, click FINISH.
5. Click the START button in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
6. Select 'Run...'.
7. Type devmgmt.msc in the 'Open' box and press <Enter> to open Windows Device Manager.
8. Verify that the device you installed is present beneath the Abaco Avionics Devices group.
9. If the hardware or device drivers are not shown reboot the system again, (this subsequent reboot is required on some systems in order for Windows to detect the new card).
10. If the FOUND NEW HARDWARE dialog still does not appear after rebooting, contact Abaco Systems Technical Support for Avionics Products per section/paragraph 2-B. below.
A. Configuration Test
For Windows 7, XP and Server 2008R2, access the “Test Configuration” shortcut created in the Abaco CEI-x30-SW program group located by selecting START->PROGRAMS->Abaco CEI-x30-SW on the Task Bar. For Windows 10/8.1/8, and Server 2012, access the “Test Configuration” shortcut listed under the Abaco CEI-x30-SW group in Apps By Name or All Apps, or accessed via the CEI-x30-SW Shortcuts folder.
B. Installation Verification Issues
If initialization was not successful, the card is not properly configured in your system. First, consult the installation chapter of the CEI-x30 User’s Manual and assure your installation was performed as documented. If you require further assistance, please execute the program cei_probe.exe located in the folder:
\Program Files\Condor Engineering\CEI-x30-SW\Help
Following execution of this program, forward the file CEI Report.txt, (created on your desktop), to avionics.support@abaco.com, specifying “Abaco Avionics Support” in the subject. Please include detailed contact information.
The CEI-x30-SW Distribution is generally shipped on CD-ROM, though it is available from our web-site via installation executable. All distributions contain an automated installation utility for Windows hosts.
CD-ROM Contents
The Linux distribution is located in the file "linux_x30_vXXX.tgz". See the file Linux_install.txt for installation instructions for most Linux systems.
The CD-ROM contains a complete image of the files that would be installed by running the setup program, located in the top-level CEI-x30-SW directory. Files to automatically start the setup program exist at the root level of the CD-ROM. If the AUTORUN mechanism is not enabled on your system, execute the file SETUP.EXE located in the DISK1 subdirectory of the SETUP directory.
For any Windows target installation, the following folders and files will be located under the C:\Program Files\Condor Engineering\CEI-x30-SW folder by default.

For Windows 7, XP and Server 2008R2, access the Uninstall shortcut created in the CEI-x30-SW program group located by selecting START->PROGRAMS->Abaco CEI-x30-SW from the Task Bar. For Windows 10/8.1/8, and Server 2012, access the Uninstall “Boardname” shortcut listed under the Abaco CEI-x30-SW group in Apps By Name or All Apps, or accessed via the CEI-x30-SW Shortcuts folder.
A shortcut will have been created in the program group corresponding to the device you installed, appended with an iteration/device number. This number corresponds to the number of devices installed. For instance, DEV_0 is the first device and DEV_2 is the third device. This allows you to delete any device on a per-device basis; however, the first device installed must be the last device removed. The drivers for the individual device you specify will be removed but all other devices will be left unaffected.
If the device you are removing is the first device in the CEI-x30 product family, the remaining distribution software file set will be removed as well. Thus, if you have only installed a single device, selecting it in the Add/Remove Programs applet and clicking Add/Remove will cause all software and device drivers to be removed from your system.
