Installation 

The PPx512 Controller software can be distributed on CD, via download or via email.
If you received the package via download or email, it may be packed in a 
zip-file. Unzip that file and place the distribution setup files in a 
temporary disk folder. In order to avoid problems with strict mail filters, 
the setup program setup.exe may have been renamed to setup.ex_. 
In that case, please rename it back to setup.exe.

Do not connect the device before completion of the software setup.

Dependent on your version of Windows you may need to log on as administrator
in order to perform the software setup.
	
1.	Run Setup.exe. 
	The setup program will install the PPx512 Controller software
	PPx512_Control.exe (GUI) and corresponding manuals.
	Depending on your system, the setup program might also install LabVIEW Runtime-Engine 2017.
	In that case a reboot of your system is necessary.	
	The setup program will also copy LabVIEW VIs in the install directory.
	In order to run these VIs you'll need the LabVIEW IDE (version 2017 or later). 
	
To uninstall the PPx512 Controller software you may need to log on as administrator 
(dependent on your version of Windows).
From the Control Panel Wizard 'Apps & Features' select:  PPx512  >  Uninstall.
