3 Trendline 3
The Trendline software is the server-based program for the Detector III. The
Detector itself is designed only for the recording of measured values. All data
organization and evaluation tasks are carried out by the Trendline software.
The monitoring of a system is configured using the software which also evaluates,
analyses, and stores the measuring data delivered by the Detector.
Further, Trendline 3 manages the exchange of data between the server on which
the software is running and the Detector.
3.1 Program installation
In addition to the application program, the Trendline software requires the MSDE
database server. It must be installed either on the local computer or on a network
server. If you are already using an MSDE database server, you can register the
databases with this.
Please note that you need Administrator permissions for your
computer to install the Trendline software completely. If you do not
have these permissions, ask your system administrator. For
example, you can install the software with Administrator
permissions and then switch back to a normal user.
