Installing Software
Sea-Bird recommends the following minimum system requirements for
SEASOFT V2: Windows 2000 or later, 500 MHz processor, 256 MB RAM,
and 90 MB free disk space for installation. Although SEASOFT V2 was
designed to work with a PC running Win 2000/XP; extensive testing has not
shown any compatibility problems when using the software with a PC running
Windows Vista.
If not already installed, install Sea-Bird software on your computer using the
supplied software CD.
1.
Insert the CD in your CD drive.
2.
Install software: Double click on
SeasoftV2_
date
.exe
(
date
is the date
that version of the software was created). Follow the dialog box directions
to install the software. The installation program allows you
to install the desired components. Install all the components, or just
install SEATERM (terminal program), Seasave V7 (real-time data
acquisition), and SBE Data Processing (data processing).
The default location for the software is c:\Program Files\Sea-Bird. Within that
folder is a sub-directory for each program.
Notes:
•
Help files provide detailed
information on the software.
•
NMEATest, a NMEA navigation
device simulation program, is
part of the SBE Data Processing
installation.
•
Separate software manuals on CD-
ROM contain detailed information on
the setup and use of Seasave V7
and SBE Data Processing.
•
Sea-Bird also supplies an older
version of Seasave, Seasave-
Win32. However, all Seasave
instructions in this manual are
written for Seasave V7. See
Seasave-Win32’s manual and/or
Help files if you prefer to use the
older software.
•
Sea-Bird supplies the current
version of our software when you
purchase an instrument. As software
revisions occur, we post the revised
software on our FTP site. See our
website (www.seabird.com) for the
latest software version number, a
description of the software changes,
and instructions for downloading the
software from the FTP site.
