Installation
Before File installation, see the important note on pg.6 under the heading: “Starting Omniscope.”
File Installation
OmniScope does not require a special installation program. The files should just be copied to a
folder named “Omniscope.” Other folders will be added to this over time such as additional
“Scripts”, “Clones” and “BINs” --for creating a 'copy' of a units' settings for use later and for
software (binary) files you download when updating a Box or screened-unit**.
Method A:
From CD: Copy the “Omniscope” folder to C:\ --Not to your desktop or “My Downloads” --When
you need phone help in the future, it will be very difficult if the system is not in the right place.
Method B:
Install from the internet by downloading the files directly to the folder “C:\Omniscope.” This
internet distribution is compressed. What happens when clicking on the link depends on your
Windows version and browser.
1. If it pops up a box giving some options, choose the default of “Open with Explorer” then wait
a bit for the download to start and for the next step. Next a window opens showing a single,
decompressed, file folder. Copy that folder to your C:\ drive. You're mostly done. --or--
2. If, when clicking on the download link, the download starts but minimizes, its likely dropping
it automatically in your Downloads portion of your 'Documents.' Your browser may have a
link at the bottom of the window showing its progress and link. Click that link to be taken to
the compressed folder.
Click on that file “Omniscope_CD_Image(date).zip” either with a <right click> and
selecting Extract All or Select it and press the Top Bar menu item “Extract.” Choose a
location of “C:\” (or “Windows C:\”), select “Extract All” as a folder named “Omniscope.”
The goal is to have an Omniscope folder here: C:\Omniscope
Finally, create a “shortcut” for OmniScope from the C:\Omniscope folder.
For the Desktop:
<Right-click> on the OmniScope Shortcut (located now in C:\Omniscope) and select <Create
Shortcut>
Next, Copy the shortcut to your desktop. You may rename it.
For your Task Bar:
<Right-click> on the OmniScope Shortcut and select <Pin To Task Bar> This is a great way to
always have it available, without having to minimize or hunt around.
** “Screened Unit”: Any Silverleaf product with display ie Glass Dash, HMS360/365, VMS440...
Driver and Key Installation
Before you can use OmniScope you must first install the USB driver for the adapter. Plug the
USB-to-RV-C adapter into the USB port of your laptop. Within a few seconds the computer should
detect the adapter and start the “Add New Hardware” wizard. The wizard will prompt you for the
location of the driver file. Click on the Browse button and point the wizard to C:\OmniScope, or if
you are installing from the CD you can use the driver files on the CD.
This may also be accomplished by running the App “Install_Drivers.exe” Reboot to finish.
