Chapter 2
Installation
Overview
You must install the OOISensors software and the MFPF software applications prior to connecting the
MFPF to the computer to install the drivers required for the MFPF. If you do not install the software first,
the system will not properly recognize the MFPF.
Caution
Do not connect the MFPF unit included with the Fiber Optics Sensors System to the PC
prior to installing the OOISensors software.
Software Installation
Two types of software are used together to manage your MFPF instrument:
•
OOISensors software
– This is a 32-bit, advanced acquisition and display program that
provides a realtime interface to display and processing functions for use with Ocean Optics’
oxygen and pH sensors. OOISensors acquires data for use by the MFPF software to convert
data into concentration values, and save the data in spectral files and logs.
Two additional software packages are also included as part of the OOISensors installer to set
up the USB port as a serial COM port and to communicate with the MFPF unit.
•
MFPF software
–This is the application that controls and collects data from the MFPF unit.
The MFPF software is included as part of the OOISensors installation, so only one software installation
process is necessary.
►
Procedure
To install OOISensors and MFPF software,
1. Close all other applications running on the PC.
