System Upgrade 

Follow these instructions if you are upgrading from the previous 
version of WiZARD to the WiZARD2.4 system. 

1.  A full un-installation of the existing WiZARD system is necessary.  If you 

do not want to loose data stored in your current WiZARD database, please 
follow the steps below (if saving old data is not necessary, skip to step 2): 

a.  Locate a second PC.  This PC will store the existing database for 

future reference.  Install your current version of WiZARD software 
on this PC.  (You will not set up any hardware on this PC) 

b.  On the Host PC go to C:\Program Files\Dickson\Dickson Wizard\db.  

Copy the Dickson.db3 database to the exact same location on the 
second PC.  Open WiZARD on this PC and view archived logged 
data to ensure proper setup. 

2.  Uninstall the Wizard software on the Host PC. Go to control panel and 

selecting “add or remove programs”.   

3.  Remove the database and Receiver ID files.  Go to C:\Program 

Files\

Dickson.  Delete the “DicksonWizard” folder and all contents. 

4. 

Unplug and turn off

 the Receiver and all Loggers and Repeaters. 

5.  Using the Quick Start Guide, install the WiZARD2.4 System 

 
 
System Component Overview: 
Host PC: 

  PC where the WiZARD2.4 Software and Receiver are installed and 

Loggers and Repeaters are setup. 

  Only one WiZARD2.4 System can operate on one PC at any time. 

  To view logged data from more than one PC, the host PC and non host 

PCs must be connected to the same network and the non host PCs must 
have WiZARD2.4 Network Software installed.  See section 11 below for 
more information. 

  This PC must have at least 1GB RAM and be on 24/7 in order for the 

WiZARD2.4 system to operate properly. 

  It is recommended that the host PC be rebooted occasionally to keep 

things running smoothly.  There will not be any lost data while rebooting 

  Individuals installing and setting up the WiZARD2.4 system must have full 

administrative rights on the host PC.

  Software is included with the Receiver and is required to setup, manage 

and view all Loggers, Repeaters and saved logged data.  

  Stores all logged data points for viewing via graphs and tables in an 

encrypted database. 

  Must run 24/7 on host PC in order for WiZARD2.4 system to operate 

properly.
