Software recovery methods
1
Logic analyzer product re- installation
Re- installing the logic analyzer product requires running
the setup executable file – typically named
SetupLAxxxx.exe. For example, the 03.50 software release
file will be called SetupLA0350.exe.
During the installation of the product, older versions are
automatically removed and replaced with the newer
version. However, if you need to install an older version
of the software over a newer version you must first
uninstall the newer version. To uninstall the software, go
to Windows
Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove
Programs.
Select the logic analyzer software from the list
of installed programs and select uninstall.
This recovery mechanism is used to fix problems with the
logic analyzer software including application crash
problems or problems with hardware recognition.

mechanism is used to fix system- level problems –
including damage done by viruses or previously- installed
software, problems with operating system bugchecks (blue

state it was in when the customer received it. After a
full hard drive recovery, the logic analyzer software may
or may not already be installed (depending on the version
of the recovery CD used).
