Argus Encoder Family Version 2.6 API Developer’s Guide
System Software Installation
Windows 2000 to install the software before continuing. See the appropriate
product installation and user manual that came with your encoder for complete
instructions.
If you have already installed version 2.6 of the Argus software on your system,
but did not check the “Argus SDK” during the first installation, you can install it
at this time.
To begin the installation, simply insert the Argus system software CD-ROM and,
from the Autorun setup screen (Figure 1-1), select “Install Argus or Argus
Spectrum”, and follow the steps below:
1. Read the “Welcome” screen (Figure 1-2), then click Next.
2. On the “Choose Destination Location” screen (Figure 1-3), accept the
C:\Program Files\ Vela Research
destination, as listed, by clicking Next.
Do not change the destination, as it is important for proper system operation.
3. On the “Select Components” screen (Figure 1-4):
• Under SDK, check the “Argus and Argus Spectrum SDK” check box.
(Because it is password-protected, you will be able to install the SDK only if
you purchased it and received the corresponding password. If you cannot
locate the password, call Vela Support for assistance.)
• If you have not already done so, you
must
run the “MFC Update” and
“Core Encoder Modules” (under Required Components on the “Select
Component” screen). These two check boxes
must
always be checked to
insure proper installation of the SDK software.
• Click Next to proceed with the installation of the selected components.
4. From the “Select Program Manager Group” screen (Figure 1-5), accept “Vela
Research” by clicking Next.
5. On the “Start Installation” screen (Figure 1-6), click Next.
• A “DO NOT REMOVE THE CD” screen will display as a reminder that a
number of reboots may be required during the installation process, click OK.
• If you have chosen to run the MFC Update option, the installation process
will begin here to copy files.
• An “Install” message box will appear advising that the system must be
restarted. Click OK, and then wait as the system reboots.
Leave the CD-
ROM disc in the drive through the restart process.
6. If you remembered to leave the CD-ROM in the drive, the setup application
pops up immediately after the system reboot. Continue with the installation by
following these steps:
