SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

9.1

DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLATION CD AND ITS RUNNING

The attached CD contains all the necessary software for the use of

Multi-Diag Scope

system including the

accompa

nying files such as user’s manuals, prospectuses.

Insert the CD in your CD-ROM drive.

If the CD does not run automatically

, run

the

MultiScopeInstall

program

which you will find on the CD.

9.2

INSTALLATION OF MULTI-DIAG SCOPE PROGRAM

If you install the program on the computer with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8.1/10 operation system, log in
as a system administrator.

The installation is intuitive, guided by an installation wizard displayed on the PC screen

The installation may take several seconds. Click on “Finish” to complete the installation.

The pre-installation of drivers for the RS232-USB converter starts after its completion (see Chap. I - 10.2.1)

Note:
The default language of the Wizard is English but it can correspond to your language version of Windows

9.3

PROGRAM CONFIGURATION

Before the configuration program start you shall:
a)

exit the Multi-Diag Scope program

install the USB to RS 232 converter

connect correctly the communication cable

The configuration utility is started by clicking on the

Multi-Diag Scope configuration

from

Start menu

–

Programs

– Multi-Diag

and select desired port (see Fig. 10).

After appropriate activation starts dialog to configure
Multi-Diag Scope (see Fig. 11).
