CHAPTER 3

INSTALLATION

This chapter helps you to install and configure the software and provides
a checklist for suggested operating system settings.

Recommended Operating System Settings

To guarantee the best operation, check the following settings from the
Control Panel before installing software. Please note that these settings
apply to the Window XP operating system. In other operating systems,
the instructions may be different.

Windows User Accounts

The application must be installed on a user account that has
administrative rights on the computer.

Administrative rights are only required during initial setup. After that, the
application can be operated by users who only have the default Windows
user level rights.

User Account Control (Windows Vista, Windows 7 only) should be set
to the "Never Notify" setting. Change the setting from User Accounts -
Change User Account Control Settings.

Operating System Updates

The software has been tested with the latest operating system versions at
the time of the shipping. However, future operating system updates might
conflict with the installed software version.

It is advisable to update the PC with the latest service packs before
running the setup procedure. If the computer is dedicated for data
collection only, it may be advisable to turn off automatic operating
system updates.
