Install PCCU32

PCCU32 software operates in a Windows

environment. PCCU32 must be installed in the PC or laptop

that connects to the analyzer for configuration and operation. This procedure assumes that the

desired PCCU32 installation package has been downloaded from the ABB website and stored in a local

folder as described in section

6.1 Download PCCU32 from the ABB website

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The installation creates a PCCU folder and its shortcut on the desktop or

laptop. The default name of the folder and shortcut can be changed at the time of installation. If

you prefer non-default folder names, make sure to change the names when prompted during

installation.
