Allow multiple copies
The RBR Windows Software can be run in multiple
copies simultaneously on the same PC. A maximum of 8
copies of the program are possible provided your
computer has enough memory. The RBR Windows
Software will stop at a maximum of 8 copies. If Windows
does not have enough memory, a message box will alert
you to the fact.
When you run the first copy of the RBR Windows
Software, check the
Allow multiple copies
line in the
Configuration
menu by clicking on it. If you then launch the software again, you
will be prompted to confirm that you want a second copy. If you accept, all the
windows for this copy will have “Copy 2” at the start of their titles. Subsequent
launches will provide “Copy 3” and so on up to “Copy 8”. Multiple copies can be
closed in any order.
The first time you launch a new copy, the basic initialization file “RBR.ini” will be
copied to “RBR.00n.ini”, where n is the copy number (2 to 8). For the first
launching of the new copy, all the default values are the same as the original.
Once you have changed any of these parameters, the “ini” file will be unique to
the new copy and will persist. The main parameter that you will need to change
is the COM port. With multiple copies and multiple COM ports, several loggers
can be downloaded at the same time. Even if you only have one COM port, a
second copy of the RBR Windows Software may be useful - you can download
one logger with one copy while reviewing files with another copy.
