Installation

You will be up and running in no time.

Download and unzip the installation package.

Run the setup script. This installs background programs, dynamic libraries, graphics drivers etc. You will need administrator rights.

Copy the executable folder to somewhere convenient on your PC. You can rename the folder, but do not rename or edit any of the files or subfolders unless instructed. This step does not require administrator rights. Upgrading to the latest version should be as simple as copying the latest executable file, without reinstalling drivers.

The software should now work in equation mode (no hardware connectivity).

Install the drivers for your hardware. Note that you will need to obtain a free trial licence before acquiring data. If you have already installed the hardware drivers, you may still have to run the installation script provided to get the correct version.

The default path for saving data is C:\data. Either create this folder, or change the default setting. The default setting is contained in a file called "default settings.txt" which is in the same folder as the executable file. This file is automatically generated if it does not already exist. So if you think you have broken it, rename it and let the software create a new one for you. If you do not either create the folder or change the default setting, you will be prompted to choose another path every time you acquire data. For a change to "default settings.txt" to take effect, refresh the data acquisition hardware list (see ???).

Next step: Licensing.
