Run the KT-RFCT 2400A software installer and follow on screen prompts.
On completion you may launch the applications from within the start menu or from icons on
the Windows desktop.
A Windows installer installs Windows C/C++ drivers, all optional plugins and a number of
tools: The installer also copies LabVIEW drivers into the correct location for installation.
C/C++ drivers are distributed as 32 bit (x86) and 64 bit (x64) DLLs and have been compiled
using Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.
The DLL import libraries can be found in the “Lib\x86” and “Lib\x64” subfolders.
If you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, its redistributable package needs to be
installed. This can be downloaded from here:
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
The LabVIEW drivers are copied into the LabVIEW subfolder as VIP files. These files need to
be installed before use using the “VI Package Manager” from JKI. This can be downloaded
from here:
