1-Installation
1.1 – Installation CD
Place the SOLOSoft Installation CD in your CD drive. It will automatically begin
the Installation process. It will create a folder “C:\Program Files\ SOLOSoft”
where the SOLOSoft executable files, the SOLOSoft Active X control, plate
definition Access database and support files are loaded. This folder is also the
default folder for all SOLOSoft methods, which have the file extension “.hso”.
Several sample methods are loaded from the CD as well.
1.2 – RS-232
Most users will choose to use the included RS-232 cable to connect their
computer to the SOLO. If you are using RS-232, a 9-pin female RS-232
connector is located on the rear panel of the SOLO. Connect the provided cable
here and either to the serial port on your computer, or to a USB to serial
converter. Selecting the serial port assignment and communication parameters is
covered in another section of this manual.
