6.3 Software installation
Currently the EM GUI is available for PCs with Microsoft Win7 or Microsoft Win10, and Apple MACs
with OS X. The software will run on other Microsoft and Mac operating systems, but currently Barco
only supports software installations with Win7 (or Win10) and OS X computers. Linux version of the
software is also available and installs on Debian OS.
To install on Microsoft Windows
The process of installing your software involves the following steps
1. Browse to the directory where the install program is downloaded.
2. Run the install program and follow the instructions.
Software updates
For a new version of the software, download the zip file and follow the instructions as in the first installation.
The new version will be installed into the same directory, but into a new sub-directory to avoid overwriting any
previous version of the software.
6.4 Starting up
How to start up
1. Double click on the Event Master Toolset Software icon on your desktop
or
click Start → All programs → Barco Folsom → Event Master Toolset Rev x.x (Build xxxxx)
The software starts up with the same look and feel as when it was closed before.
The connection is automatically restored with the Event Master unit if it is still available.
6.5 Screen layout presentation
General
The user interface is organized around a Menu Navigation bar at the left of the screen and a Working area
in the rest of the screen. The layout of the screens is similar throughout the GUI.
In order to explain the layout, we will examine the start-up screen of the Configuration Menu and describe
the different components. The screens for the other menus follow the same structure and flow.
