W-SPECTRA supports the native Wavecom receiving device W-PCIe and the WiNRADiO Software Defined Radio (SDR) receivers G3xDDC.
- To use W-PCIe as a receiver, make sure that the Wavecom Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) is first properly installed. Then install W-SPECTRA. It contains the controlling of the W-PCIe receiver.
- To use WiNRADiO G3xDDC receivers with W-SPECTRA, make sure that the G3xDDC software and the WiNRADiO Virtual Sound Card (VSC) are already installed.
Insert the WAVECOM installation DVD in the drive. When requested, point the auto start wizard to the disc drive and start installation.
Note: To run installation you need to have the Administrator right. After installation, you can run the applications W-SPECTRA and W-SPEED if you are a member of the Administrators, Power Users or Users group.
Before the installation of a software update, the old version must be uninstalled (see Software Uninstall on page 11). After uninstallation has completed, insert the WAVECOM installation disc in the drive; the installer will start automatically. Otherwise, it can be started with Windows Explorer by double-clicking Installation.exe.
Without loosing generality we show the installation steps on the example W-SPECTRA.
The selection dialogue of the installation program is displayed:
|
Click the “W-SPECTRA” button to install the W-SPECTRA application. |
|
First, you will see the welcome screen. Click “Next” to continue the installation. |
|
|
Change the destination folder and click “Next” to continue the installation. |
|
Click “Next” to continue the installation. |
|
|
Wait until the installation is finished. |
|
If the installation was successful, click Finish to complete the process. |
|
Note: If a firewall is enabled on your system, depending on its security level settings, various components of W-SPECTRA may ask to access the Internet or the trusted zone of the firewall. You will have to manually grant access to these components.
Check for hidden windows if the installation process seems to “hang” (this can be done by pressing the Alt+Tab keys). Sometimes windows in the background are waiting for a button to be pressed to allow the installation to proceed.
