Installing the Engineering Terminal This chapter describes the installation of the Engineering Terminal (ASET) in the personal computer system being used. Please read the chapter 8, when you use the PCAS for ARCNET (/ARC). This installation assumes that your PC system is already in the ready state under the following conditions and also that you have some knowledge of how to use the system.
Analyzer Server Engineering Terminal [Network monitoring, Gateway unit [Operation and display Automatic data [Exchange Data with of Gas Chromatograph] storage] Host System] PC PC Text in parentheses is a function. DCS DCS STARDOM FCJ RS-232C DI/O LAN (Ethernet) Interface unit [Analog Output from Field Equipment/ Interface to Contact In/Out Signals] STARDOM FCN GC8000 GC8000 GC1000 MarkII Process Gas Chromatograph F0101.
n Installation Procedure of ASET CAUTION The user should log on with an administrator account in order to install and use ASET. Proper operation is not guaranteed when the user logs on with a limited user account. l Installing ASET on Computers Running Windows 7 (1) Prepare a personal computer which fills the specification and turn on the power. Start Windows. (2) Insert the installation disk into the CD-ROM drive.
CAUTION Might be necessary to restart the personal computer at the end of installation. n Changing User Account Control settings UAC helps prevent unauthorized programs from being installed on the system silently by viruses or malicious software. This feature is normally preferable, but in some cases, it may interfere with system operation and settings, e.g., UAC may block installation of some applications. UAC can be disabled at the user’s discretion.
Changing UAC setting is now complete. n Installing ASET on Computers Running OSs Other Than Windows 7 (1) Prepare a personal computer which fills the specification and turn on the power. Start Windows. (2) Insert the installation disk into the CD-ROM drive. (3) The install program is started automatically. The steps after this are the same as those for installing on computers running Windows 7 OS.
n CaptureIt! Installation
n Changes in the Windows Environment When you install ASET, the Windows environment will change as follows: l “AS Engineering Terminal” group When you install ASET, the “AS Engineering Terminal” group is newly registered.
