To install the CalEasy software follow the instructions described below:
Installing ATEasy run-time files. This step is required if ATEasy or ATEasy run-time is not installed. Insert the Marvin Test Solutions CD-ROM and locate the ATEasy setup program. If your computer’s Auto Run is configured, when inserting the CD, a browser will show several options. Select the Run AExplorer.exe option, and then locate the ATEasy product page and run the setup (ATEasy9-xxx.xe). If Auto Run is not configured, you can open the Windows explorer and locate the AExplorer.exe and run it. You can also download the latest ATEasy setup from Marvin Test Solutions’ web site (http://www.marvintest.com/ATEasy/). After starting the setup, you can choose between Full installation and Run-Time only. Use the Full installation option if you intend to view the drivers’ sources provided as standards DLLs. ATEasy full installation is provided with a free 30-day evaluation license for development and a free run-time. See CalEasy's ReadMe.txt for the required ATEasy version, in general the latest run-time should work.
Note: When installing ATEasy under Windows 2000 or newer, you may be required to restart the setup after logging-in as a user with local Administrator privileges. This is required in-order to upgrade your system with newer Windows components and to install kernel-mode device drivers (HW.SYS and HWDEVICE.SYS) which are required by the ATEasy to access resources on your machine.
1. Install the software package required to operate your instrument and standards. If you are calibrating the GX5961/4 you will need to install the GtDio6x software, for GX5055 install the GtDio software, etc.
2. Insert the Marvin Test Solutions CD-ROM and locate the CalEasy product page and run CalEasy.exe setup program. If your computer’s Auto Run is configured, when inserting the CD, a browser will show several options. Select the Marvin Test Solutions Files option, and then locate the setup file. If Auto Run is not configured, you can open the Windows explorer and locate the setup files (usually located under \Files\Setup folder).
