7. Operation
a) Software Installation
1. Place the CD included in the delivery in the corresponding drive of your computer.
2. The installation program starts automatically after inserting the CD. Depending on the sys-
tem and its setup, you may however have to start the installation manually. For this purpose,
start the file “setup.exe” on the CD.
3. The installation program takes you semi-automatically through the program installation. Dur-
ing this, you have to accept the license agreement and have the option to define a different
installation directory than the suggested one. Still leave the CD in the drive after installation.
The program icon is created on the desktop (“Type K Temperature Datalogger”).
4. Connect the datalogger to the computer when it is ready for operation. After a brief moment,
the computer reports a new hardware and starts installing the USB driver.
5. Follow the instructions of the installation program.
6.
After the installation is complete, you can start the program “Type K Temperature Datalog
-
ger”.
