Installing Clarity

Note:

If you want to update to a newer version, it is recommended to first uninstall the current version of Clarity on your PC. The uninstallation is offered automatically upon the start of new version's installation.

The process of installing Clarity to comply with regulated environment rules is as follows:

  • Check whether the package for the Clarity installation is complete, eg. its content matches the packing list.

Caution:

Do not plug in any hardware yet!

  • Plug in the Clarity installation USB into the computer. Search for removable disc in the file explorer (e.g. My Computer in windows) and run the install.exe file located in the root directory.
  • On the first screen, select the directory for the installation (C:\CLARITY by default), click the Next button, select the directory for data location and click the Next button again.
  • Enter the User code. This code may be found on the back side of the card provided with installation USB or is provided by DataApex by e-mail, click the Next button to continue.
  • Set the type of the installation on the next screen (or select the particular installation components in the bottom pane) and click the Next button.
  • Select the name of the folder in the Windows Start menu where various Clarity shortcuts will be placed. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent the creation of the folder in the Start menu. Then press the Install button.

Caution:

In case Clarity wasn't supplied with a user code, it can be run in the Trial mode. In that case, do not enter anything in the User code field.

  • If this is the first installation on given PC, installation of drivers for various hardware needs to be confirmed.
  • Click the Next button in the next dialog. From the listed options, check the Make IQ Report now checkbox and press the Finish button.
  • The IQ report will emerge. If it is marked as passed (green label below the first table in the report), it means that Clarity was successfully installed.

Caution:

It is recommended to run Clarity before printing the final form of IQ since some information is only loaded after the first start.

Note:

Sometimes, the IQ report will fail. This happens mainly when older versions of Clarity are installed in other directories on the computer. When this situation arises, we recommend uninstalling the Clarity, deleting the directory it was installed to (take care to save the data prior to the deletion if you are only re-installing) and installing the Clarity again. If the IQ report fails again, please report the problem to your local distributor.

  • Insert the HW key into the USB slot.
  • Connect any other HW.
