W61PC Software Installation

Windows’ hardware wizard can be used to install the software. Insert the WAVECOM installation disc in the disc drive. When requested, point the wizard to the drive and start installation.

Note: After installation you can run the W61PC application if you are a member of the Administrators, Power Users or Users group.

If a software update is about to be undertaken, the old version must be uninstalled (see Software ). After uninstallation has completed, insert the WAVECOM installation disc in the drive. The installation program will start automatically. Otherwise it can be started with Windows Explorer by double-clicking Installation.exe. Now the welcome dialogue of the installation program is displayed:

 

 

Click the W61PC button to start the installation of the W61PC 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.

 

If you are prompted to restart your computer, do so.

Note: 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 user input to allow the installation to proceed.

After rebooting, you may start the software even without any hardware installed. Click on the W61PC-1 icon to make a test start. However, starting a transmission mode is not possible without decoder hardware.
