INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
25
Important!
The easyScan 2 AFM Installation CD contains calibration information
(.hed files) specific to your instrument, therefore you should keep (a backup
copy of) the CD delivered with the instrument.
Step 3 - Installation of DirectX 9
The easyScan 2 software needs DirectX 9 or newer for correct operation.
Click the default choice in all dialogs.
- After installing DirectX 9, the computer may have to re-boot.
Installing the software on different computers
You can install the easyScan 2 software on a different computer than the
one that controls the measurement, for example for running the micro-
scope simulation, or for off-line data analysis. Please note:
• In order to use the Controller, the hardware drivers and DirectX 9 must
be installed on the computer to which it is connected.
• The Controller and its drivers must be installed when installing the
Nanosurf Scripting Interface.
Installing the drivers for the AFM Video Module
When the AFM Video Module is added to your Controller after you have
installed the software, its drivers must be installed before it can be used:
- Disconnect the USB cable from the Controller.
- Turn on your computer and start Windows.
Important!
Make sure you have administrator privileges before software installation.
- Insert the easyScan 2 Installation CD into the CD drive of the computer.
- If the setup program has started automatically, click ‘Exit’.
- Connect the USB cable to the easyScan 2 Controller.
