Windows Installation
Installing the Windows Software
Before installing the Windows software, you need to install the UPS25 board in your system.
Please follow the instructions in the hardware manual to install the board.
In the software package, you can find the Setup.exe program, which installs the UPS25 device
driver and monitoring application. After starting the setup program, please follow the instructions
on the screen to install the Windows software. You can select the directory where the files will be
installed. The setup program adds a ‘RTD\UPS25’ folder to the ‘Programs’ section of the ‘Start
menu’. This folder contains shortcuts to the monitor application, Changes.txt and ReadMe.txt.
The setup program also automatically installs the driver for a UPS25 device. Once the setup
program is complete, make sure to configure the device’s resources using ‘Device Manager’.
‘Device Manager’ can be opened by selecting the ‘System’ tool in ‘Control Panel’ and then
navigating to the ‘Hardware’ tab and clicking the ‘Device Manager’ button.
The source code for the monitor application will be installed in the target directory under the
‘Application’ folder. This folder contains the program source for the UPS25 monitor application.
The program is compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0.
Uninstallation: Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you can uninstall the Windows software
using the ‘Add/Remove Programs’ tool in the ‘Control Panel’. Under Windows Vista, you can
uninstall the Windows software using the ‘Programs and Features’ tool in the ‘Control Panel’.
