This installation manual refers to the whole set of FM measurement programs. They are delivered 
on a CD-Rom which also includes relevant documentations and an installation program. A 
calibration disk is delivered as well with any new measuring equipment. 


The CD-Rom includes following software : 
Dynamic modulation analyser. 
RF coverage measurement. 
Scanning. 

RDS analyser. 

DARC analyser. 





D D O DO 


1.1. Software environment. 


All the programs need WINDOWS type of software environment, version 9x , 2k , NT 4.x or XP. 
The user has to make sure one of these environments is installed in his/her computer, as well as 
available versions, referring to software and hardware manuals. 


1.2. Computer configuration. 


The following table shows computer system configuration needed — or desirable — for optimum 
operation of measurement software. 


Windows 9.x Windows NT 4.x (SP6) Windows 2k (SP3) 








XP 
Processor Pentium 100MHz Pentium 233MHz Pentium 300Mhz 
RAM memory size 16 Mo 64 Mo 128 Mo 
Hard disk size 80 Mo 80 Mo 80 Mo 
Centronics printer port 1 1 1 
RS232C serial port 1 1 1

1.3. Communication speed. 


Data exchange between the computer and the measuring equipment is carried out at 
predetermined speeds. The following speeds must be supported : 


Field measurement, RDS analysis : ....................... 9600 Bauds 

AF analysis, Scanning, DARC analysis : ................ 19 200 Bauds 

MPX analysis and Peak recorder : ......................... 115 200 Bauds 
1.4. Other software. 


In order to benefit from the best performances concerning the processing speed and the data 
display, it is extremely inadvisable to use other software parallel with analysis or measurement 
software. 


Before using each software, close all files and software in operation.

ll. INSTALLATION. 


1.1. Updating old versions. 


If the software's installation has been carried out in order to update an old version, two possibilities 
have to be considered : 


When updating an old AF analysis or SCAN software version of type DFMA01, RX_MCAF 
oe RX_SCAN, this one is completely retained (file names are different). In particular, the 
user parameter file (*.INI) wil not be overwritten. 


When updating any other software (Field strength measurement, RDS analysis or DARC 
analysis), the older version will be replaced by the newly installed one. In particular, the 
user parameter files (*.INI) for each software will be updated in order to take the new 
version into consideration. As these files, located in the system directory, are unique for all 
versions, keeping an old version software in an alternate directory is strongly inadvisable. 
This may led to runtime errors. Before installing new versions, we advice to desinstall the 
old ones (see chapter III). 


II.2. Installation procedure. 
In order to install software, proceed as follow : 


Before starting installation, close any application which might be running. 
Insert the CD-Rom into computer's drive. 


If Auto-run feature has not been cancelled, installation program will start automatically. 
Otherwise, select Run... option from the Start menu and enter the following command 
(assuming D is the CD-Rom drive letter) : 


D:NSetup.exe 


The first window lets you select the desired language for all programs. Select as 
preferred, then click Ok to proceed : the main installation window is displayed. 


Two set-up modes are available : 


Q Full set-up will install all the programs delivered on the CD-Rom. 





Q Custom set-up allows you to install only selected software an/or additional files 
(User's manuals and Product information). 


If AF analysis software is to be installed, set-up program asks for the measuring 
equipment type (FM-MC4, DFMAO2) in order to setup program accordingly. 


Set-up program is able to load calibration files which may be delivered on a separate 
floppy disk : you will be prompted for it when needed. 


When installation ends, click Finish to exit the program. 


Each software user's manual gives extended information on their operation. One should refer to 
these manuals for further details.

Ill. UNINSTALLATION. 


An automatic uninstallation procedure is provided in order to remove all components (Folders, 
Programs, Icons) which were added during installation. 


Uninstall procedure is not able to remove only selected components. Should this need arise, full 
uninstallation must be first carried out, followed by a new installation of only selected components. 


In order to remove the whole set of FM-MC4 measurement software, proceed as follow : 
e Make sure none of these programs is running. 


e Select 'Parameters — Control panel’ option from the 'Start' menu, then double click the 
icon ‘Add/Remove programs’. 


e Find out AUDEMAT-AZTEC FM-MC4 within the displayed list and click ‘Add/Remove’. 


e The automatic procedure is started. 


Once the procedure is over, you will possibly be informed that some folders could not be removed : 
they certainly include files and/or folders created by user or program execution. These files could 
not actually be logged for uninstalling : they will need to be removed manualy, if required. 


Important : before proceeding with uninstallation, user has to make sure he owns a master copy of 
the calibration files (disk or CD-Rom). In opposite case, he/she will have to save them in order to 
use them on later installing or updating the software.
