2.6.1 Software Installation
To install the configuration application, follow the procedure below:
NOTE
You must have administrator privileges to properly install
this software on Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
1.
Insert the installation CD into the CD-ROM drive of the PC.
2.
If the auto-run feature does not work, navigate to the root directory
folder of the CD. Double click the file “
SETUP.EXE
”.
3.
It is recommended that you accept the default installation options
provided by the install program. Simply press the “
Enter
” key to
accept the choices.
4.
The program can be run by going to the
Start
menu and selecting
Programs | Model225 | Model225 Configure
. The application
software can be run without the Model 225 attached, but the
operations are limited until there is communications established
between the PC and the unit.
5.
If the USB connection is to be used on the Model 225, leave the
installation CD in the drive and skip down to section 2.6.3.
The communications between the PC and the Model 225 is handled over either
an RS232 serial port or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. The application
software will automatically attempt to find the unit if it is attached. Once
communications is established the buttons and the controls on the Configuration
dialog will become active. The choice of communications port is dependant on
the type of hardware resources available on the PC. Both methods provide the
same level of performance. Review the connection discussion below for proper
connection of the 225 to the PC.
