If you have obtained the Accu-Chek Smart Pix soft-
i
ware from a USB flash drive: The USB flash drive is
the original medium used to provide the software, but
it is not a removable medium for storing data you
have created yourself. Avoid potential data loss (for
example, from damage to or loss of the USB flash
drive) and always store all files locally on your
computer or on a network server.

Chapter 2, Before you start using the system
2.2 Copying software to the computer
The Accu-Chek Smart Pix software can be used locally on
your computer or on a network server. To do this, copy the
entire program folder to a suitable location on the selected
hard disk. Depending on your needs, you have the following
options:
• If you are the only person who will be using the
program, copy the program folder locally to your
computer. You will also save the created files there.
• If you want to use the program in a network and the
same software settings are to apply for every
workstation, install the program folder on the network
server. You will also save the created files there. On
the server, the program can also be used by several
network users at the same time.
• If you want to use the program in a network, but allow
individual software settings for every workstation,
copy the program folder separately to every single
workstation. The created files, however, will be saved
on the server to enable shared access to all data
despite individual settings.
24
Depending on your needs, make the appropriate preparations for copying the software from the following three
options:
Chapter 2, Before you start using the system
Connecting the device
To copy the software from the Accu-Chek Smart Pix device
(model 2): Insert the USB plug of the Accu-Chek Smart Pix
device into a free USB port on your computer. You can do this
while your computer is either on or off. This connection
provides the Accu-Chek Smart Pix device with power and it
therefore does not need a battery or a power pack.
After connecting the Accu-Chek Smart Pix device and turning
on the computer as necessary, the glowing Accu-Chek
Smart Pix logo appears and indicates operational readiness.
Simultaneously, the computer recognises the Accu-Chek
Smart Pix device as removable media (similar to a USB flash
drive).
Connecting the USB flash drive
To copy the software from the USB flash drive: Insert the USB
flash drive into the computer. The computer recognises it as
removable media.
Preparing the download version
To copy the software from the download folder: The software
is offered as a compressed data package (ZIP archive) for
