1.1      Installation

The 64-bit package works on 64 bits systems such as Microsoft Windows 7 x64/8 x64/8.1x64/10 x64 operating systems.

Memory requirements are at least 1 GB RAM to conveniently run the included examples. More RAM will be needed for more complicated circuits.

 

There are three types of installations:

·         Typical – software will be installed with the most common options. Please note that the additional files necessary for running all examples included in the installation, in the QuickWave 2017 x64 DEMO, will not be installed.

·         Custom – the user can choose the options to install, up to complete installation.

·         Complete – software will be installed with all options. Additional files necessary for running all examples included in the installation, in the QuickWave 2017 x64 DEMO, will be installed here.

Disk space requirements depend on the type of installation as follows:

 

Typical

Custom (Complete)

QW-Modeller

1.2 GB

2.3 GB

 

Place the installation DVD in your DVD-ROM drive. After inserting the DVD the setup program should run automatically. Otherwise run setupqwmodeller_v2017x64.exe on the DVD-ROM. Follow the instructions on the screen.

 

QW-Modeller Examples, macros, *.ini files and media libraries are installed in the additional QW-Modeller public directory, called <PUBLICDIR>, which contains the path to the QW-Modeller public directory. For the case when Microsoft Windows operating system is installed on drive C, the QW-Modeller public directory is set as:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\QWED\QW-Modeller\v2017x64 – for Windows XP x64

C:\Users\Public\QWED\QW-Modeller\v2017x64 – for Windows 7 x64/8 x64/8.1 x64/10 x64

 

The QW-Modeller Examples are installed in the <PUBLICDIR>\examples directory and this information is displayed during installation.

Note that envir, media, macros and examples directories are created only for compatibility and there are no appropriate QW-Modeller files in these folders. They only contain readme.txt file with information about the new location of the files from a particular folder. In the envir folder there is also the text file publicdir.txt, where the path to the public QW-Modeller folder is defined. For the case when Windows operating system is installed on drive C, this file has the following structure:

[QWPublicDir]

QW_Public_Dir_Path=C:\Users\Public\QWED\QW-Modeller\v2017x64\

QW-Modeller, QW-Editor and QW-Simulator are looking for the publicdir.txt located in the envir directory. If this file is found, the <PUBLICDIR> variable contains the path to the public QW-Modeller directory read from the file.

 

 

Uninstall

You can easily uninstall or reinstall the software in standard Microsoft Windows operating system procedures using Control Panel and Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs) or by clicking "Uninstall QW-Modeller..." in the Start Menu.
