4. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
4.1. System requirements
.amiclab needs a PC with Windows® 98SE/ME/2000/XP/VISTA/7 x32 x64 (a Pentium III
600MHz or more with 128 MB of RAM or greater is recommended), a USB port (1.1 or 2.0), and a VGA
video card with a minimum 800x600 resolution (1024x768 recommended). The computer doesn't act
upon audio processor efficiency, since all processing is done inside .amic DSP. It is only used to
graphically edit parameters.
Before being able to use .amiclab to communicate with .amic, you have to install the USB driver.
This driver allows the PC to recognize .amic, and gives .amiclab a method to communicate with
hardware.
4.2. USB driver installation
In order to install the USB driver, you'll need "amicusb.inf" and "amicusb.sys" files from .amiclab
CD-ROM:
1. Connect the USB cable between .amic and the computer. A "Found New Hardware Wizard"
window will appear.
2. Select "Install from a list or specific location" and type the previous files path.
The wizard will automatically install the driver.
4.3. Graphic editor installation
1. Run the "setup_amiclab.exe" file and follow installer instructions.
2. .amiclab will be installed in a folder named .amiclab, in the hard disk "Program Files" folder.
During installation, you can choose a different location for the software.
3. Confirm each installation process window by clicking on "Next" button. Installation may be
cancelled at any time by clicking on "Cancel" button.
4. When installation is complete, click "Finish" to go back to Windows® desktop or automatically
launch .amiclab if "Launch .amiclab" option has been chosen.
