Installing the Application Software
The Paragon-X software comprises two parts: embedded software which is pre-installed on the
Paragon-X hardware prior to delivery, and application software supplied on a USB memory stick (or
by download from
) which requires installing on the host PC to allow control of
Paragon-X. To install this application software:
1.
Insert the USB stick into a USB port on the host PC. Depending on the PC configuration, Windows
Explorer may launch automatically. If it does not, open Windows Explorer. Browse to the USB
device, double click the setup.exe file then follow the on-screen instructions. A number of
applications will be installed in sequence.
2.
Once the installation process is complete, click on Start > All Programs > Calnex > Paragon-
X to launch the Paragon-X Remote Client app as shown below (note that the path may be different
if the settings were changed from default during the installation process):
The software version of the Paragon-X application can be found by clicking on Help > About
Paragon Remote Client.
The latest release software is available from
https://calnexsol.com/en/resources-en/product-
(registration required). For information on how to upgrade your current capability or add
new features, contact [email protected].
3.
For full functionality, Wireshark should also be installed on the host PC. A version may be included
on the installation USB stick provided with Paragon-X, or the latest version may be downloaded
from
. Once obtained, double click on the Wireshark***.exe file and follow the
onscreen prompts.
4.
It is possible to use the Paragon-X Remote Client app without being connected to an instrument.
This allows existing capture and replay files to be manipulated without requiring access to the
Paragon-X hardware, or, by clicking Help then Demo, a demo mode which uses pre-configured
demo capture files to simulate measurements may be accessed.
