QA BEAMCHECKER™ PLUS 17
NOTE: The account under which the QA BeamChecker Plus software is setup must have at
least “Power User” access privileges within Windows. However, as of version 2.2.X, the software
can be run as a basic “User”. See the system administrator or operating system
documentation for assistance and/or further details.
1. Insert the CD-ROM for the new version or run the executable downloaded from the
Standard Imaging website.
2. If setup from a file downloaded from the Standard Imaging website, skip to step 3. Browse
to the CD-ROM root directory or folder from the extracted .zip file in Windows Explorer and
double-click setup.exe to start the setup program.
3. Proceed with the setup wizard. If an existing setup is detected, it will be upgraded to the
new version and the new setup will be completed.
4. It is required that ALL computers using the QA BeamChecker Plus Communication
Software are upgraded to the same version.
NOTE: Upon launching the software, the program should still “remember” where the last
opened database resides and open it. However, with some software updates, the format of the
database may change. In this case, the program will make a copy of the file in the same
directory and convert the original to the new format. This process is transparent and happens
automatically whenever a database with an older format is opened.
Firmware Upgrades
When a new version of the QA BeamChecker Plus Communication Software is installed, a
firmware update may also be included. If a QA BeamChecker Plus unit is connected to the PC
(either directly or via the Power/Data Cradle) and the software is opened, new firmware will
automatically be uploaded to the unit.
NOTE: If installing a new software version at a facility with multiple QA BeamChecker Plus
units, ensure that ALL units are upgraded with the latest firmware before performing daily
measurements.
