2.2. Software and Hardware Installation
Installing the EASY-MCA and the accompanying C
ONNECTIONS
and MAESTRO software takes
just four easy steps. Note that you must have Administrator-level access in Windows to install
ORTEC software.
For easiest installation do not connect the EASY-MCA to your computer until MAESTRO has
been installed.
1) Install the accompanying C
ONNECTIONS
Driver Update Kit (P/N 797230), selecting the
USB-based instruments family on the install wizard’s Instrument Setup page.
2) Install the accompanying MAESTRO MCA Emulation Software (A65-BW).
3) Connect the EASY-MCA to the USB port on the computer.
4) Run the MCB Configuration program to build a list of available ORTEC MCBs.
2.2.1. Step 1: Install the C
ONNECTIONS
Driver Update
The first step is to install the C
ONNECTIONS
Driver Update Kit (P/N 797230) according to its
instruction sheet. This software must be installed before MAESTRO can be installed. The update
kit’s instructions tell how to install C
ONNECTIONS
, enable/disable the drivers for your ORTEC
MCB(s), and share ORTEC instruments across a network. On the Instrument Families page, be
sure to mark the USB-based instruments checkbox, as shown in Fig.4.
Otherwise the EASY-
MCA will not be able to communicate with the computer and MAESTRO software. At the end
of installation, you will be directed to restart the computer.
If you also have other types of MCBs attached to this computer, refer to the installation instruc-
tions in the corresponding hardware manuals. Note that you can install device drivers for other
types of instruments later, as described in the C
ONNECTIONS
Driver Update Kit instructions.
