Installation and handling of the CLP Setup software

The scope of delivery of the CLP 100 includes a set of diskettes (3.5") with the CLP Setup

software. A PC with the operating system Windows 95

™,

Windows 98

™

or Windows NT

™

is required in order to use the software. The memory requirement on the hard disk amounts

to approx. 6.5 MB for the installation of CLP Setup, CLP Setup Help and I-ViewPro

™

10.2.1

Preparing the installation

1. Have the diskettes at hand.

2. Connect the PC to the host interface of the CLP 100 (

refer to

Section 5.4.3, Page

3. Switch on the supply voltage of the CLP 100.

4. Switch on the PC and start Windows.

10.2.2

Carrying out the installation

During the installation of CLP Setup the installation program creates a main directory with

subdirectories and the required links. CLP Setup can be removed completely from the PC

by using the Uninstaller which is automatically installed as well.

First installation

1. Shut down all the applications under Windows.

2. Insert the diskette into the floppy disk drive.

3. Call up the R

dialog box in Windows and enter the following command in the O

PEN

input

field: "A:\CLP_xxxx.exe" (replace xxxx by the diskette label text). Click on OK.

- or -

Open the Explorer, open drive A and double-click on the file "CLP_xxxx.exe" (xxxx stands

for the diskette label text).

The installation program starts and guides you through the installation with screen

messages. Die CLP Setup software and the CLP Setup Help on-line help are installed.

4. If required, install the I-ViewPro

™

HTML browser (is prompted).

5. Observe the the latest information on the CLP Setup given in the Readme file.

6. Click on OK to confirm the final installation message.

Die CLP Setup software and the CLP Setup Help on-line help are installed and ready for

use.
