3 Software Installation
A software CD is provided with every D200 Dash Logger purchase. If a software CD was not shipped with the dash or
if a replacement CD is needed, please contact PCS Technical Support. The newest revision of the software is available
from our website. Load the software CD into the CD drive. A window should appear offering several options, click “Install
Software.” If this menu does not appear, open the CD with Windows Explorer or MyComputer. Double click the fi le D200-
CD.exe to begin installation. An installation window will appear with the D200 Dash Logger software version number,
click next. A window will appear with the intended installation directory, it is possible to change the installation directory
but using the default directory is strongly recommended. Once the directory has been chosen, click next. A window will
appear offering a selection of installed components from a list. The software installation will allow the ability to select or
deselect manuals and optional components. Select the preferred components for installation and click next. A window will
appear with the start menu folders. Changing the name is possible but not recommended. A window will appear offering
to create a desktop icon and a quick launch icon. A desktop icon will place a shortcut to the Dash Logger software on
the desktop. A quick launch icon will place a shortcut to the Dash Logger software on the windows quick launch bar (only
offered on some operating systems, usually on the lower left side of the screen next to the start menu button). If these are
desired, select them and click next. A window will appear summarizing the desired settings. If everything is correct, click
install. If these settings need to be changed, click back. Once the installation is complete, a window will appear asking
to install drivers now. These are the USB drivers and are required for communication to the D200 Dash Logger. After
installation a window will appear asking if you wish to launch the Dash Logger software now, make your choice and click
fi nish.
