Software 

9.1

 

General 

The Software is running on a embedded Microsoft Windows Operation System. The software is 
designed to control all operation and inputs by a touch screen. Additional peripherals like a printer, 
an USB mouse or an USB keyboard etc. can be connected to the system for easier operating. 

The  Windows  operating  system  and  also  the  instrument  application  software  are  installed  and 
tested before delivering. 

 

 

This software chapter describes only the instrument application and not the Windows 
operating system.

 

9.1.1

 

Start-up 

After the system is switched on and the Windows 7 Embedded is started up the 2830 software will 
automatically start up with a delay of 10 seconds. 

To  start  the  2830  software  manually  -  this  case  could  be  after  closing  the  software  and  not 
shutdown the devices - double click on the following link on the desktop: 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

The  following  image  shows  the  start  up  screen  of  the  2830  software.  The  displayed  software 
version can be different as the actual which you have.
