Connect/Convert4 Installation
The CD accompanying this manual contains the Windows applications Connect (Control and
Display Unit) and Convert4. They are installed via a standard Install Shield set-up application. Also
included on the CD is sample source code, to aid development of software for interfacing with the
receiver, and product documentation.
These applications utilize a database in their operations so the necessary components of the Borland
Database Engine (BDE) are installed as well as the necessary database tables and an alias for the
database. The install set-up application does all this automatically so you have only to select where
you would like the applications installed on your PC. It is strongly recommended that you close all
applications before installing Connect and Convert4. You must close any applications that may be
using the BDE before installing. The install set-up modifies the BDE configuration so that it can
recognize the new Connect and Convert4.
The software operates from your PC’s hard drive. You will need to install the software from the CD
supplied by NovAtel or from our Web site:
1. Start Microsoft Windows.
2. Place the NovAtel CD in your CD-ROM drive. If the setup utility is not automatically accessible,
follow these steps:

c.
