Setup Welcome Screen To install Temprecord, run the file TRW-SETUP.EXE. The setup welcome screen will display:
The setup welcome screen will show the software revision of the version of Temprecord you are about to install. Click on the Next button to continue and display the Installation Type screen:
Selecting the Installation Type
Install Temprecord Just For Me If you choose this option, Temprecord will be only be installed for the current user. That user will have an entry on their start menu and a shortcut on their desktop unless these options are deselected in the later steps. Other users will not be able to see any shortcuts or data unless they have been granted access to the relevant files of that user. Use this option when there are several users of the same computer, and the other users will not require to use Temprecord. Installing Temprecord "Just for Me" avoids cluttering up the desktops or start menus of the other users.
Install Temprecord for All Users, Separate Settings If you choose this option, Temprecord will be installed for all users, but each user will have separate settings. Each user of the computer will have an entry on their start menu and a shortcut on their desktop unless these options are deselected in the later steps.
Install Temprecord for All Users, Shared Settings If you choose the first option, Temprecord will be installed for all users and the settings will be shared. Each user of the computer will have an entry on their start menu and a shortcut on their desktop unless these options are deselected in the later steps.
Install Temprecord for All Users, Shared Settings, Remote EXE Choose this option if the Temprecord executable file will be installed on a remote server (i.e. a network drive) and workstations on the network will access Temprecord over the network. All users will share the settings.
Importing Existing Settings The Temprecord installer searches for existing copies of TRW.INI (this files stores the settings for Temprecord) on the computer. Earlier versions of Temprecord placed the TRW.INI file in different locations and the installer looks in those locations. If it finds one it offers the user the chance to import the settings from that file. If it finds more than one it will offer the most recently accessed copy.
If you choose Create default settings the existing file will not be imported and all of the settings will be assigned default values. You will likely have to set (at least) the reader COM port before you can use Temprecord.
Selecting the Destination Location The next screen allows you to choose the folder the Temprecord program files will be installed into.
Selecting the Start Menu Folder The next screen allows you to specify where the start menu entry will be located. Once again, unless you have good reason, we recommend you stick with the defaults. If you don't want the Temprecord program entries to appear on the start menu, check the box labeled Don't create a start menu folder.
Additional Installation Tasks
If you don't want an icon to be added to the desktop, uncheck the box labeled Create a desktop icon on the next screen. Similarly you can decide whether a quick launch icon is added to the taskbar.
Summary of Installation Settings Before installation starts, the installer will show this screen which will contain a summary of the options you have selected. If you are satisfied, click the Install button and the installer will begin copying files and creating menu entries and shortcuts. If you're not satisfied, use the Back button to go back and change settings, or use the Cancel button to abort installation.
Release Notes After installation completes, the release notes for the version you are installing will be shown. The changes and fixes to the program are shown with the most recent at the top. You can also see those changes in this help at What's new in version 6.3?.
Installation Completed The final screen of the installer gives you the opportunity to start the Temprecord program when the installer has exited.
Reinstalling
The Temprecord program can be installed on as many computers as you wish. Just take the original installation disk that you installed this copy of Temprecord with, place it in the drive of the computer you wish to install it on, and run TRW-SETUP.EXE from the drive.
Installing the Reader Interface
Of course you will require another reader interface unit if you wish to program and start loggers on the second computer.
In order to use the reader interface unit, your computer must have a spare USB port. As part of the installation process, the necessary USB driver files are normally copied to your computer and installed. This part of installation normally proceeds without problems, but you might need to manually install these drivers with some computers or versions of Windows. See the topic Installing Temprecord Reader USB Drivers for more information.
When you first start to install Temprecord, you may see this warning:
Click on Continue Anyway. You may need to repeat this step as the installation involves copying two distinct sets of driver files.
When the installation has completed, plug in the reader interface. You may see the following warning:
Select No, not this time and click the Next button. You will see the following screen:
Select Install the software automatically and click the Next button.
Once again, the same procedure will likely repeat as there are two separate sets of driver files that need to be installed for the Temprecord Reader.
