Requirements
● Laptop/PC with:
– Processor: Pentium III (or comparable type)
–VGA graphics card
– USB interface (alternative - RS232 via adapter)
– Working memory (RAM): At least 1 GB
– Operating system: MS Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (32/64 bit)
● USB interface cable to connect the Laptop/PC to the measuring system (MCUP).
● The operating and parameter program (SOPAS ET) as well as the USB driver (scope of
delivery) must be installed on the Laptop/PC.
● The power supply must be switched on.
Install the SOPAS ET program
Insert the delivered CD in the PC drive, select the language, select "Software" and follow the
instructions.
Install the USB driver
A special software driver is required for communication between the operating and
parameter program SOPAS ET and the measuring system via the USB interface. To install
on the laptop/PC, connect the MCUP to the supply voltage and then connect to the PC
using a USB plug-in connector. A message appears on the display that new hardware has
been detected. Now load the delivered CD in the PC drive and follow the installation
instructions (

As an alternative, the driver can also be installed in the Windows control panel using the
hardware installation program.
Administrator access rights are required to install the software.
Start the file "setup.exe" when the start screen does not appear.
NOTICE:
Use only USB cabling which is in scope of SICK supply or cable with identical
specification. Maximum cable length is 3 m. Longer cable lengths can lead to
communication problems.
