Installation
Ensure you are logged into Windows in Administrator mode.
For most systems, installation will start automatically on placing the Insight
DVD in the drive. (If installation does not start, click the Windows Start button
and select Run; browse to your DVD drive, and run Setup.exe.)
Follow the on-screen instructions. You will need your license number to hand,
which is to be found on:
x
Your license agreement.
x
The outside of the DVD case.
x
The outside of the system packaging.
Insight’s link with the logger must also be made while Windows is in
Administrator mode, and it is thus best to do this now, as part of the Insight
installation: connect the logger to the PC and follow the procedure under
‘Communications Setup’ (below). Once this has been done, an operator will be
able to use Insight with the logger connected to the PC without being in
Administrator mode.
Upgrading
It is not necessary to remove an existing version of the software before
installing a new one. Settings and data files used with the current installation
will be maintained.
Removal
From the Windows Start button menu, select Settings and then Control Panel.
Double-click Add/Remove Programs, select Datapaq Insight and click Add/
Remove.
Using the Software
Full details on using the Insight software are contained entirely within its online
Help system: access this by clicking Help, and then Contents, on Insight’s main
menu. Then, within Help, click on Contents headings and topics to expand and
read them.
You may also click the Help button in any dialog – or press the F1 key – to
bring up help information relevant to the task being performed.
