DatLab installation

Description

We recommend a 'clean install' for DatLab installation: rename your previous DatLab programme subdirectory (e.g. C:\DatLab_OLD). The standard Instrumental and SUIT DL-Protocols package is automatically implemented with the simple DatLab programme installation.

PC requirements

• A PC or notebook is required (not included in our offers), connecting DatLab to the O2k via the USB cable supplied with the O2k.
• Minimum requirements: Intel-Core-2 or equivalent CPU, 2GB RAM, Windows XP
• Recommended: Intel i5 or equivalent CPU, 4GB RAM, Windows 10, SSD
• Working recommendation: For data safety reasons and optimal DatLab performance it is strongly recommended to operate your DatLab files, DL-Protocols and DatLab templates on the PC‘s local HDD.

Installation

:::: Install DatLab for two or more O2ks on one computer

1. Install two (or more) copies of DatLab in two (or more) different directories, e.g. DatLab_O2k1 and DatLab_O2k2.
2. Create two or more shortcuts to the different .exe files. (the .exe files do not have to be renamed because they are in different directories). In this way, the O2k-specific .ini files are separated in the different directories.
3. Assign different Power-O2k numbers and activate Graph/Display Power-O2k (see Display_Power-O2k) to distinguish the individual O2ks in the graphs.

Upgrade DatLab and compatibility

1. DatLab can be installed within the directory of a previous DatLab version (recommended option). In this case all DatLab files will be kept, but some layouts are overwritten.
2. During the first start of DatLab the information in any previous *.ini file in the same directory will be copied into the new *.ini.
3. The nomenclature of some default graph layouts has changed. We recommend users upgrading to the current DatLab version to update Graph layouts by installing the new DatLab version.

• Compatibility with previous DatLab versions: DatLab is downwards compatible: DLD files generated by previous DatLab versions can be analyzed using the current version.

Information for IT-administrators

DatLab does not write any part of the registry nor to any directory besides the program directory and its subdirectories, the data-directory and the user's temporary files folder.
