Installation
On installation of the software the required files are copied onto the hard disk.
The two sub-folders DATEN and BACKUP are also created in the stated installation folder. The database FDMS12.MDB (or FDMSPRO12.MDB) is filed in the DATEN sub-folder.The transmis­sion protocols are also filed in this folder.This folder can be set under the "Setup I Directories " menu. If this folder is not stated, the DATEN sub-folder of the application is used. Data are backed up in the BAK­KUP sub-folder. All backup copies of the transmission protocols and the backup of the database are filed in this folder. If no folder is ente­red, the application uses the BACKUP sub-folder.
Before the installation of the Fluke DMS software please re­start Windows or end all running application programs (also programs working in the background, such as virus scanners)..
The two programs "Adobe Acrobat Reader" and "Access 2000 Runtime Module" are required for the function of Fluke DMS. If these two programs are not yet installed on your computer, they must be installed together with the software.Adobe Acro­bat Reader will be installed. The missing "Access 2000 Runti­me -Module" will be installed automatically in the background.
The Help function cannot be used without "Adobe Acrobat Reader".
The Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or higher must be installed on your computer so that the print, page view and data export functions can be selected. If it is not, the Microsoft In­ternet Explorer 5.0 can be installed from the CD-ROM, this is located in the folder "\AccessRTde\Ie5\de\Ie5setup.exe".
1) Insert data medium (e.g. CD-ROM) in the corresponding drive of your computer.
2) The SETUP.EXE program is started automatically when the CD­ROM is inserted.
If not, start the Windows Explorer and select the corresponding drive.
1) Select the "SETUP.EXE" file with the Explorer and start the in­stallation with a double click.Optionally you can also start the in­stallation via the "START", menu with "RUN" and entering for in­stance "D:\SETUP.EXE ". The "SETUP" program installs the Fluke DMS program on your hard disk.
2) The installation is now started, the "SETUP" program guides you through the further installation process. Follow the installation in­structions on the screen.
The "SETUP.EXE" program checks during the installation whether "Access 2000", the "Access 2000 Runtime Module" and "Acrobat Reader" are already installed on your computer.
