Software Installation
Before starting the installation process, any other older version of the CableData Collector
software should be uninstalled including the accompanying Virtual COM Port driver.
The CableData Collector software requires
Microsoft’s .Net 3.5 framework to be installed, for
which a separate installer included with the setup files. If you are unsure, whether you have
this installed then it is advisable to run and install this before starting with the installation of
the CableData Collector.
To start the installation, locate the install files supplied. Run the exe file to start the
installation process. Windows administrator privileges are required to install the CableData
Collector software. The installer applications are shown in Figure 6.

proceeds. The confirmation screen is shown in Figure 7. To start the installation, click
