Initial setup
The MicroLab Mobile software is supplied pre-installed on embedded
and handheld PCs supplied with Agilent products. Software
installation is required only when upgrading to a new software
version. A backup copy of the software is supplied on a disk with
new systems. A separate computer running Microsoft Windows XP
operating system or later (with ActiveSync or Win Mobile) is needed
for the installation, along with the appropriate cable to connect the
handheld or embedded PC to that computer.
To upgrade to a new version of MicroLab Mobile software:
1 Each Agilent-supplied handheld or embedded PC comes with an
adapter cable, which enables it to be connected to the computer
via a USB cable. Connect the handheld or embedded PC to the
computer.
2 When connected, the computer will launch the ‘Active Sync’ (or
Win Mobile) dialog box. Click Cancel on the first dialog box.
Choose Explore Device from the Active Sync menu. The
handheld or embedded PC can then be treated as a removable
drive on the computer.
3 Insert the MicroLab Mobile disk into the computer CD drive.
Browse to the CD directory using My Computer or Windows
Explorer.
