4.1 Connect/Convert4 Installation
The accompanying CD contains the Microsoft Windows applications Connect and Convert4. They are
installed via a standard Install Shield set-up application. Also included on the CD is sample source
code, to aid development of software for interfacing with the receiver, and product documentation.
These applications utilize a database in their operations so the necessary components of the Borland
Database Engine (BDE) are installed as well as the necessary database tables and an alias for the
database. The install set-up application does all this automatically so you have only to select where
you would like the applications installed on the computer. You must close all applications before
installing Connect and Convert4. You must close any applications that may be using the BDE before
installing. The install set-up modifies the BDE configuration so that it can recognize the new Connect
and Convert4.
The software operates from your computer’s hard drive:
1. Start Microsoft Windows.
2. Place the NovAtel CD in your CD-ROM drive. If the setup utility is not automatically accessible,
follow these steps:
a. Select Run from the Start menu.
b. Select the Browse button.
c. Locate Setup.exe on the CD drive and select Open.
d. Select OK to run the setup utility.
3. Advance through the steps provided by the setup utility.
When the installation is complete, click on a program icon to launch the application
