Model 5 Prover Software Manual

2. Installing the Model 5 Prover Software

2.1 Minimum System Requirements

The following criteria must be met in order to install and run the Prover software:

• One available RS 232 serial port.

• Microsoft

®

Windows ME, Windows NT

®

4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3), Windows 2000, XP or

Windows Vista Business Edition

• Pentium 200MHz processor with 32 MB of RAM

• 256 color video with 800 x 600 capability

• 100 MB of free hard disk space

2.2 Compatibility Issues

1. Output Compatibility

The program will output test reports in a comma delimited text file format (the various data
fields are separated by commas). Therefore, any program capable of reading this type of format
will be able to view and manipulate the data easily and effectively.

2. Hardware Compatibility

Due to a vast number of personal computers to choose from, it has not been feasible for
ROOTS Meters & Instruments to test all makes, models, or versions of PCs for operational
compatibility with the Model 5 ROOTS Prover software. Dresser ROOTS Meters & Instruments
has successfully tested the Prover software on a large number of well known, major brand name
computers as well as non-major brand name PCs. Of those computers tested and currently
utilized by ROOTS Meters & Instruments and many of our customers, the majority have
functioned perfectly, provided they met our recommended minimum requirements (listed in
the above Section 2.1).

ROOTS Meter & Instrument Division does not guarantee all computer brands and models will
run the Model 5 Prover Software without encountering problems. Before making a final purchase
from your local computer supplier, inquire about their return policy, limitations, and restrictions.
We recommend a limited trial policy that offers a money-back guarantee or exchange should the
purchased computer not work with the Prover software.

2.3 Software Installation

Place the software CD in the CD drive. On-screen instructions will appear directing you through the Prover
software installation. Additionally, follow the instructions for installation of the LabVIEW

™

run-time engine.

If Autorun is not enabled, first select Prover Setup.exe on the CD drive.

If the infrared communications option is active on the serial port chip, there may be
communications errors during the operation of this software. See the computer owner’s
manual for deactivation of this option.

It is recommended that the FIFO settings for the serial port are enabled and the settings for the
applicable com port are as follows:
