Installation
Before installing a version of our data-acquisition software, remove all
previous versions of that software.
Reference Notes:
• Adobe Acrobat PDF versions of documents pertaining to your system hardware and
software are automatically installed onto your PC’s hard-drive as a part of product
support at the time of software installation. The default location is the Programs
group, which can be accessed via the Windows Desktop Start Menu.
• PDF versions of documents can be read directly from the data acquisition CD.
• After your software is installed you can setup your data acquisition device, e.g.,
WaveBook, DaqBook, LogBook, and connect it to the host computer. Instructions
for hardware setup are included in your device user’s manual, which is included on
the CD.
When you first install software for your acquisition device, PostView will automatically be selected for installation
along with the primary acquisition software application. For example, when a WaveBook is selected, both
WaveView and PostView will show as pre-selected software options.
