JAVA RunTime Environment
This application software is written in the programming language JAVA. It will offer cross-platform support for any operating system that runs the Java runtime environment, including Windows, LINUX and MAC OS.
The installation process for the USBscope50 application will automatically install a Java RunTime Environment unless Java is already installed. If you do have Java installed, it is usually configured to automatically install updates when they are released. Elan's measurement application is not bound to any specific Java version, but the latest version is 6 and in general we would advise customers to keep their Java Runtime Environment up to date.
For more information, check www.java.com.
Comments, Bugs and Feedback
Elan would like to receive feedback from any customer who has tried to use this software, whether with one of the units from the test and measurement range, or in demo mode. Please send us your feedback!
Installation Notes for Windows
In Windows, download the install package and unzip it, then double-click on setup.exe. The installer will automatically install the required Java and drivers, as well as the software application.
Tested on : Windows XP, VISTA
If no scope is detected, the software will launch in demo mode.
In Windows XP, when you connect a USBscope50 the drivers for it will be installed using the 'New Hardware Wizard'. It is important that you allow this installation to take place (there are two ports in the scope, so the hardware wizard will need to run twice.
Installation Notes for LINUX
Please follow the guidance in ReadMe.txt for instructions on how to install the software.
Notes
When the user plugs in the scope to the computer with Linux installed if Elan Digital System id is already present in the SiLab driver LED light on the scope will come on.
If LED is off, it is most likely because these 4 lines are missing from
the SiLab Driver, cp2101.c file :
{ USB_DEVICE(0x10C4, 0xF001) }, /* Elan Digital Systems USBscope50
{ USB_DEVICE(0x10C4, 0xF002) }, /* Elan Digital Systems USBwave12
{ USB_DEVICE(0x10C4, 0xF003) }, /* Elan Digital Systems USBpulse100
{ USB_DEVICE(0x10C4, 0xF004) }, /* Elan Digital Systems USBcount50
Elan will publish instructions on how to modify the SiLab driver shortly, in the meantime we recommend you consult a third party website on how to do this, for example http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/
