To install the newer console application, refer to the instructions in the previous section (See

Installation

Instructions for Main CIRAS-3 Console

on page 116).

TIP

If the CIRAS-3 console software (Ciras3_Console.exe) is already installed you

MUST

uninstall it prior to

loading new versions.

PC Utility Software

The PC Utility Software provided by PP Systems allows users to perform the following 3 functions:

1. Create/Edit Response Scripts

2. Create/Edit Settings Files

3. Remote Display of CIRAS-3

Installation Instructions for PC Utility

The CIRAS-3 PC Utility Software is provided as a “Setup.exe” file and a MSI file named

“Ciras3_PC_Utility_vxxx.msi”.

1. Insert the USB thumb drive (memory stick) provided by PP Systems into a USB port on your

desktop PC or laptop computer. The USB thumb drive is included with the CIRAS-3 spares kit.

2. Navigate to the folder \CIRAS3_PC_Utility_SW which contains the “Setup.exe” and

Ciras3_PC_Utility_Vxxx.msi” files. D

3. Double click on the “Setup.exe” file to begin the installation process and follow the onscreen

instructions until complete. A CIRAS-3 icon should now appear on your desktop.

For Vista, Win7 or Win8 Operating Systems

Once installation is complete, find the shortcut link on the desktop named “Ciras3 Utility”. Right click and

select Properties. Select Compatibility and enable “Run as administrator”. If you do not do this, many

errors and exceptions will occur when you run the program!

Uninstall Instructions
