3.4 Installing the Roboinject Software
System requirements
Software: One of the following Microsoft Windows ® operating systems is required:
Microsoft Windows 7, Vista or XP (English versions supported with the NT file system).
Other language versions may lead to software errors.
Hardware: An USB 2.0 High Speed serial bus must be provided for the communication
between the Roboinject and the computer. Additional 1 GB RAM working memory
is strongly recommended.
Recommended operating system settings
The following automatic services of the Windows operating system interfere with the data
storage on the hard disk and can lead to severe performance limits. These routines were
designed for use on office computers, but are not very useful for a data acquisition computer.
 Turn off “Windows System Restore”.
 Turn off automatic “Windows Update”.
 Deselect “Windows Indexing Service” for all local disks.
 Turn off “Optimize hard disk when idle” (automatic disk fragmentation).
 It is also not recommended to run any applications in the background when using the Roboinject.
Remove all applications from the Autostart folder.
Please check the system requirements before you install the software. MCS cannot guarantee
that the software works properly if these requirements are not fulfilled.
Important: Please make sure that you have full control over your computer as an administrator.
Otherwise, it is possible that the installed software does not work properly.
