3.5 Installation
The IDAX 350 comes with the IDAX software
already installed on the internal computer. On the
IDAX 300/322 and if you want to use the IDAX 350
with an external PC you have to install the software.
Important
On the IDAX 350 make sure to close the
IDAX software and the operating system
before turning off the unit using the on/
off mains switch and disconnecting the
mains cord.
IDAX 350 can be used as a central computer
controlling other test instruments e.g Megger FRAX
and TTR. Megger
software is checked for co-existence
and can be used together with IDAX 4 and 5. Be
careful if installing other manufacturer’s software
on the IDAX unit. Doing so may prevent the IDAX
software from working as intended.
Installation of IDAX 5 software
Make sure your software is properly installed. IDAX
software will install on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 10.
▪
To be able to install this software package, you
MuST be logged in with Administrator’s rights.
▪
IDAX 5 software also requires “Microsoft .NET
Framework 4.0” to be installed, if the installation
program found that .NET Framework is not installed
in your computer, then installation software will
automatically start this installation. This may take a
while (several minutes).
▪
IDAX 5 software will also install the necessary
drivers to communicate with the IDAX 300/322
instrument using the uSB port. The uSB cable must
not be connected to IDAX 300/322 at this time. In
case of IDAX 350, switch the uSB port PC selector
to “EXT” (external computer position).
