Installing the Chromatography Software
2.1.1
Installing the Software
NOTE Dionex strongly recommends installing Chromeleon
or Chromeleon Xpress chromatography software
before connecting the ICS-90 to the computer on
which the software is installed. When the
chromatography software is installed first, USB
driver information is loaded automatically and the
Windows operating system will detect the ICS-90
when the power is turned on.
The SETUP.EXE file on the Chromeleon CD-ROM installs Chromeleon
or Chromeleon Xpress. After presenting a series of options for your
consideration, the Setup program then copies the software onto the hard
disk.
1. If this is a local computer, log onto Windows XP or Windows 2000 as
an
administrator
. If this is a network computer, log on as a user with
local computer administrator privileges.
If necessary, ask the computer systems administrator for temporary
administrator privileges. (Administrator privileges are required to
install Chromeleon or Chromeleon Xpress, but not to operate it.)
2. Verify that the drive on which you plan to install the Chromeleon or
Chromeleon Xpress application has at least 250 MB of free disk
space. This is the amount of free disk space required for operation.
Chromeleon only:
250 MB may not be enough disk space to store
the large amounts of data that Chromeleon can generate. If necessary,
you can store data at a different location (for example, on a network).
