6 USING THE TOOL IN COMBINATION WITH A PC
To use the tool in combination with a PC, which will serve as a viewing and
processing unit, requires the installation of the TEXA software. The
installation is carried out by using the appropriate DVD.
The operating systems supported by the software are:
•
Win2000
•
WinXp
•
Windows Vista
Once you have entered the DVD into the PC player, the installation
program starts automatically.
If this does not happen it means that the PC it is not configured for the
automatic installation. Proceed as follows:
1.
Double click on "My computer".
2.
Place the mouse on the item corresponding to the DVD player and double
click on the SETUP icon.
To install correctly follow the instructions that appear on your screen
throughout all the installation phases of the program. The installation is
complete when a new icon is created on the desktop.
The hardware key must always be attached to the PC where the
program is installed.
Before starting the communication with the viewing unit,you are required
to carry out the specific configuration procedure. Follow the guided
configuration procedure specific for TEXA tools which you are
automatically prompted with at the first start-up of the IDC3 software.
There are three different ways in which you can connect the tool to the
viewing unit (PC):
•
Serial connection
•
USB connection
•
Radio wireless connection using Bluetooth
For further information see the IDC3 software operating manual.
Power, connect and turn the tool on before starting any
applications that will interface with it. This should be done in order to
avoid communication errors.
