Prerequisites
●
Uninstall the old software version, as described in
​
chapter 4.4.3, "Uninstalling" ,
on page 38.
●
Close any running applications.
●
Disconnect all R&S EX-IQ-BOXes and do not connect any during installation.
4.4.1 Installation
The setup file DigIConf_x.xx.xxx.exe for the installation of the R&S DigIConf is included
in the delivery of your R&S EX-IQ-BOX or can be downloaded from the R&S website:
http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/EX-IQ-Box.html
► Execute
DigIConf_x.xx.xxx.exe
in the windows explorer and follow the installation instructions of the R&S DigIConf
setup wizard.
The version number x.xx.xxx in the filename represents the current version. Each
update has a new release number.
During installation the program creates various subdirectories needed by the application.
Additionally, the installation wizard checks the status of the registry entry "DisableCAD"
in order to exclude logon conflicts during later operation. The wizard prompts you to
modify the DisableCAD status accordingly, in order to fix these conflicts.
Fig. 4-4: R&S DigIConf Installation > Modify DisableCAD
●
"Yes"
Accept modification.
The installation wizard sets DisableCAD=0 in the registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\policies\system]"DisableCAD"=dword:00000000
A connected R&S EX-IQ-BOX does not cause any conflicts at startup and logon.
●
"No"
Reject modification.
The parameter
DisableCAD
remains 1 and you must disconnect the R&S EX-IQ-
BOX before every login and connect it afterwards again.
Backgound: Depending on this registry entry, a connected R&S EX-IQ-BOX may cause
an infinite loop at the Windows logon prompt. It occurs during a logon because Windows
interprets the internal SmartCard of the R&S
EX-IQ-BOX as a medium for login. You find
more details also in
​
chapter 4.4.4, "Known Restrictions on SmartCard Related Issues" ,
on page 39.
