Data Reading (TOOLBOX Software)
The GAMMA-SCOUT
®
TOOLBOX software enables you to read out the data gathered and stored
1
by GAMMA-SCOUT
®
. The data is provided in list format. Connect your GAMMA-SCOUT
®
to a com-
puter USB port. The data is then automatically read out and displayed.
To avoid overloading this manual, we are providing only a brief description of the procedure. You
will find full details under the “TOOLBOX Handling” link on our website
www.gamma-scout.com
(under
DOWNLOAD).
System Requirements
The GAMMA-SCOUT® TOOLBOX software requires an ©MS Windows PC (Vista, WIN 7 or WIN
8/8.1; 32 and 64 Bit version) with USB interface, a valid OS license on your computer, a functioning
internet connection and the administrative rights to the computer. The GAMMA-SCOUT® TOOL-
BOX for MAC users will follow shortly.
Accessories: Data Download Cable
The cable between the USB-PC-interface and the USB-Port of the GAMMA-SCOUT
®
is included
with the device.
Installing the Program and the Necessary Drivers
Initial installation of the USB drivers (& TOOLBOX)
The GAMMA-SCOUT
®
is an external device (such as a printer, camera or USB stick). The connec-
tion between the GAMMA-SCOUT
®
and the computer therefore needs so-called driver software
before the TOOLBOX can be installed and used. Since 10/22/2013, the GAMMA-SCOUT
®
USB
drivers have been available in the internet directly from Microsoft via ©Microsoft Windows Driver
Distribution. This has greatly simplified the installation of the USB drivers (and the TOOLBOX). The
instructions for driver installation are available from our website
www.gamma-scout.com
(under
DOWNLOAD).
Depending on the current performance and status of your PC, the installation could take several
minutes, please do not interrupt the process.
Installing the TOOLBOX (following successful driver installation)
In order to be able to install the TOOLBOX for the first time, as well as transfer the data to your com-
puter and read it out, the driver software (technically two drivers) must be downloaded to your hard
drive from the internet. Once this has been completed, the TOOLBOX can then be installed and run.
Detailed instructions for installing and using the TOOLBOX program can also be found on our web-
site
