2.5 Installing the software
The ProLink kit comes with one 3½-inch diskette, which contains the
operating files for the software. Because the ProLink installation/setup
program decompresses files during installation, ProLink software cannot
be installed by copying files from the diskette to the hard drive. Run the
ProLink installation/setup program to install the ProLink software on the
personal computer hard drive.
Before installing the program, make a back-up copy of the ProLink disk.
To install the ProLink program:
1. Insert the ProLink diskette into a disk drive.
2. Open the Windows program manager, open the File menu, then
choose Run. Windows 95 users, choose Start, then choose Run.
3. At the Run dialog box, depending on the drive where the ProLink
diskette has been inserted, enter one of the following commands into
the File Name text box:
A:\SETUP.EXE
or
B:\SETUP.EXE
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation
process. Consult the sections below and on the following pages, if
necessary, or contact the Micro Motion Customer Service
Department for technical assistance.
Initial Installation dialog box
The Initial Installation or Change Options dialog box appears as shown
above.
The installation/setup program offers two options:
• Initial Installation, which installs the ProLink software and places
ProLink icons in a Windows program group.
• Change setup, which allows changes to device drivers for HART or
Modbus protocol and the communication port.
To install the ProLink software, select Initial Installation, then click OK.
