Installing Emonitor
This installation is intended for first-time installations. If you are upgrading from a
previous version of Emonitor, see the chapter Upgrading from a previous version.
The installation program installs all Emonitor components by default. You can, however,
customize your selections during the installation.
Portable systems use walk-around data collectors for collecting data, and all Emonitor
components can be installed on one computer. Online systems use networked systems that
monitor and collect data, and Emonitor can be installed on different computers to increase
efficiency. You may also use a combination of portable and online systems, and use
different computers for each part.
This section walks you through the installation step-by-step with specific information
available when needed. This section goes through a typical installation for a portable
system.
