The Xpect Configuration Tool provides you with a facility to create and edit the configuration required
by the Xpect software.
The Xpect server software consists of the main Xpect monitoring application (
Xpect.exe
) and a
companion ‘guardian service’ (
Xpectguardian.exe
) which is used to systematically stop and start Xpect.
The table below describes the basic steps for setting up an Xpect server.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Upgrade from Xpect 1.3 and 2.0 requires a complete uninstallation of Xpect
including the configuration files located in ‘
