Software

Introduction

The program rbrVwXX.exe ("V" and "XX" stand for the software version) is
Windows® 98/NT/2000/XP compatible operating software designed to provide a
user-friendly interface with the logger. With this program one may setup the
logger, retrieve data, set calibration coefficients, select optional derived units for
viewing and file saving, preview the data graphically, and save the data to a file.
The logger operating software is available from two sources: it is provided on
mini CD with the original purchase of the logger and the latest version is
available on the RBR web site.

Software installation and removal

Installing the software

1. Place the CD-ROM in the appropriate computer drive. The InstallShield
program should start automatically. If the installation fails to begin
automatically, run the setup file from the CD-ROM directly. It is located in
the root directory of the CD-ROM (e.g. "E:\"). The installation program is
labeled setup_rbrVwXX.exe, where 'V' and 'XX' represent the software
version.
2. InstallShield allows you to decide on the name and placement of the
working directory for the software; the default is "C:\Program files\rbr". In
this directory, four further directories ("dat", "hex", "Manual" and
"MATLAB") are created and loaded with a sample data file and the user
manuals. Shortcuts to the program and the user manual are placed on
the Desktop and in the Programs section of the Start menu.
3. RBR Logger Software may then be run via the Desktop shortcut or from
the shortcut in the Programs section of the Start menu.

Uninstalling the software

The software may be removed by running the 'Uninstall' utility located in the RBR
folder in the Programs section of the Start menu, or by using the Add/Remove
utility in the Control Panel. The uninstall utility will not delete any saved data
files.

Upgrading the software

The most recent version of the logger operating software is available on the RBR
website (http://www.rbr-global.com/software.htm). If a newer version is available,
