Model 10-AU Internal Data Logger Software, new Windows Version 2.1

• Version 2.1

The above file is a Windows version program for downloading data from the Internal Data Logger on the Model 10-AU Fluorometer.

Unzip the file to a directory on your hard drive and then double click on the Setup.exe file.

You will need to have "System Administrative" privileges on your computer if you are running Windows NT, 2000 or XP. If you don't have this privilege, then you will see an error message that says " Could not open the file named Setup.LST".

Otherwise the software installation process will start and then just follow the screen prompts.

See the Read_Me.txt file for instructions.

Please contact our Technical Support department if you have any questions.

Spreadsheet Interface Software for the 10AU Field Fluorometer

• Version 1.0

NOTE: Two copies of Version 1.0 of the Spreadsheet Interface Software are provided here. They are basically the same, but one is in .zip format; the other one is in .exe format. The .zip format may be more compatible with your organization's Internet security filters.

Download either of these files to your computer. If you choose the .zip copy, you must unzip it before proceeding (if you do not have the Winzip utility program, you can download it from www.winzip.com). One way or the other, you will get a file called "setup.exe".

Next, uninstall any previous versions of this software. To do this:

Click Start: Settings: Control Panel
Double-click the "Add/Remove Programs" icon
Select "Spreadsheet Interface Software" on the list and click the "Add/Remove" button
Click "OK" to exit.

Last, double-click "setup.exe" to begin the installation. Dialog boxes will guide you through the process. When the "Spreadsheet Interface Software" icon appears on your desktop, it is ready to use.

Please contact our Technical Support department if you have any questions.
