MitoPedia O2k and high-resolution respirometry: O2k-Open Support

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

Generate directories on your PC or laptop connected to the O2k, e.g., with directory names 'DatLab_O2k-P1' and 'DatLab_O2k-P2'.
Install the DatLab program in each of these directories separatley.
Create a shortcut to the DatLab.exe file in each directory. The .exe files do not have to be renamed because they are in different directories. In this way, the O2k-specific DatLab.INI files are separated in the different directories.
Assign different Power-O2k numbers in the O2k configuration window. See Display Power-O2k.

Compatibility

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.
