5 Getting Started
5.1 Installation Overview
The software installation program uses the ‘ClickOnce’ installation format and can therefore
be installed onto a PC without administrator rights. However, administrator rights are
required whenever the application connects to an individual MEV device for the first time.
This is because the application needs to change the MEV default driver settings, which are
stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE area of the Windows registry. For subsequent
connections to that MEV device, the application will not require administrator rights. The
recommended installation sequence is therefore:
1. Obtain administrator rights on the PC.
2. Install the MEV driver, see section 5.2.
3. Install the Data Logging Software, see section 5.3.
4. The installation procedure automatically runs the application once the installation
has completed and at this point you should connect to the installed MEV device
using the Connect button.
5.2 Installing the MEV RS485i USB Serial Converter Device Driver
5.2.1 Installation Procedure
To install the driver, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that you have administrator rights on the PC.
2. Download usb_232_485_drivers.zip from the “MEV Drivers” link under Evaluation
Kit Downloads. Place the files in a suitable location.
3. Plug the MEV RS485i device into a USB port and when the dialog below appears,
be ready to click it or, if it disappears, click the animated icon that it is attached to.
Note that in Windows 7, this icon can disappear into the hidden icon box when the
dialog disappears.
