Before Software Installation
The CalGrafix software should be installed on a
PC which has not previously been used to run
software for Cal applications. The PC should
meet at least the minimum system requirements.
Minimum PC Requirements
As a general requirement, we would
recommend a minimum of Pentium 450MHz
with 256MB RAM, Windows
TM
2000/XP and
screen resolution, 1024 x 768. 100MB of
free hard drive space is more than
sufficient.
Installation Instructions:
Note: Temperature control modules have been set to park mode as a precaution against
heating before connection to a PC. Following these installation instructions will reset the
parameters for these modules to allow heating and stirring.
Do not connect the 4857 to the PC until the following installation has been completed.
CalGrafix Installation Instructions:
1. Locate the 547M CalGrafix CD and insert it into the CD drive.
2. From the CD, open the setup.exe file to run the installation program.
3. Follow on screen instructions to complete installation.
