Dataview Software; Installing Dataview - AEMC 6526 User Manual

AEMC's DataView software enables a computer to connect to and interact with a variety of AEMC instruments, including
the Models 6526, 6532, and 6534. DataView includes a core set of features used by all instruments. These features are
designed for viewing recorded data; and for opening, creating, and saving DataView reports. DataView also includes appli-
cations called Control Panels for interacting with the instrument. A Control Panel lets you connect to the instrument, view
real-time measurements, download data, and configure the instrument's settings from the computer. Each AEMC product
family has its own dedicated Control Panel; you select the one(s) you need during DataView installation

4.1 Installing DataView

When you purchase the instrument, the product package includes a USB thumb drive containing DataView program files.
To begin installation:
1. Insert the DataView thumb drive into an available USB port on your computer. If Autorun is enabled, an AutoPlay
window appears on your screen. Click "Open folder to view files" to display the DataView folder. If Autorun is not
enabled or allowed, use Windows Explorer to locate and open the USB drive labelled "DataView."
2. When the DataView folder is open, find the file Setup.exe and double-click it to run the installation program.
3. The DataView setup screen appears. In the upper left corner of the screen, choose the language version of
DataView to install. In the lower left corner are the available installation options. In addition to the DataView
software, you can select "Adobe Reader." This links to the Adobe web site where you can download the latest
version of Reader. This program is required to view DataView PDF documents. The option DataView Update
opens the AEMC website where you can check for the latest DataView software version releases. Similarly,
Firmware Upgrades links to the website where you can check for new firmware updates for the instrument. Finally,
User Manuals views the printable documentation that accompanies DataView. (DataView also comes with a Help
system that is installed with the program files.) Make your selections and click Install.
4. After a few moments the DataView InstallShield Wizard welcome screen appears. The InstallShield Wizard
program leads you through the DataView installation process. To proceed, click Next.
5. Read the license agreement and indicate your acceptance by clicking "I accept the terms of the license
agreement." Then click Next.
6. At the Customer Information screen, enter your username and company name. Also choose whether this
installation is for all users of the computer, or just for your username. Click Next to proceed.
7. The next screen lets you select the DataView setup. If you choose Custom, you are prompted to select individual
DataView components to install. To install the full DataView product, select Complete and then click Next.
8. You are now prompted to select the Control Panel(s) you want to install. Each AEMC product family has its own
specially designed Control Panel. By default, all available Control Panels are selected. Control Panels take up
disk space on the computer, so unless you have other types of AEMC instruments, we recommend that you select
Megohmmeter and deselect the rest. You should also check the option PDF-XChange, which is a requirement if
you plan to create .pdf versions of DataView reports. After you finish selecting and deselecting Control Panels,
click Next.
9. The InstallShield Wizard informs you that the program is ready to install DataView. Click the Back button if you
want to return to earlier screens. Otherwise, click Install to begin installation.
10 The InstallShield Wizard now installs DataView. A status bar will display the progress of the installation. During
installation, you may see a warning message about installing DataView with your AEMC instrument connected to
the computer. If a USB cable is connected to the computer, disconnect it now. Then click OK to proceed.
11. After a few moments, a screen appears informing you that installation is complete. Click Finish to leave the
InstallShield Wizard. You are now asked whether or not you would like to view instructions about how to connect
the AEMC instrument or cable to the USB port on the computer. Click No to proceed.
12. Close the DataView Setup screen. The DataView icon
