THE PACKAGE
Free
Software Downloads - New Versions 9th January 2021 with LabView 2020 kernel, supporting Windows 10/8/7.
All software has been checked and fixed to be usable in smaller displays with a
screen height of 700 pixels minimum without any features removed. The reporting
has been revised.
Support for the old Windows XP, Vista
and 2003 has ended (see the end of this page for old versions).
•
The MK30 product is now supported in the documentation of the
programs. It is used just like the AK30 meter.
The Moisture series programs also work fine with this new model.
•
The Moisture program is available again
in two languages, see below.
•
The program Libconverter for converting the calibration libraries with
differing decimal separators. This is very useful if your local decimal
separator is different from the library you have received. This program is very
easy to use. This program affects the libraries made with AK30, Advanced,
IRMA7Basic etc. since they all use the same file format since 1994.
We do have separate versions for 32 and 64 bit Windows. The 32 bit
versions work fine in 64 bit systems. However, the 64 bit systems offer usually
a much wider memory space and are a little more efficient. Otherwise, the two
versions are identical. 64 bit versions do not work in 32 bit systems.
•
The IRMA7Basic program will be discontinued very soon. Please
download the latest to have one. It has been in active use since 2004.

We have a simple and easy step-up program for our software. We publish regularly
new versions of each package. To upgrade, follow the simple steps below at the
end of this page.
All programs operate in Windows
10/8/7 operating systems.
The latest software supports now saving of raw data in Excel
format too. All programs are Windows 10 tested. Since the packages seem to grow
to such big volumes, it is possible for the customer to inquire a USB stick with
all these programs, at a media fee of 25EUR plus postage. The typical package
sizes are around 400 MB.
Note:
The published software are built with LabVIEW's latest version 2017 and may in some
cases require uninstallation of older versions
before you can install the new ones. Removal is done with the Windows Control
Panel - Programs if the automatic uninstall is not working. Normally, the
installer will remove the old versions.
USB-to RS232 plug Windows Drivers
We have two kinds of RS232-USB modules in delivery: The old unisolated with
Microchip MCP2200 chip and the newer galvanically isolated with FTDI chip
FT232RL. See the corresponding directions below.
FT232RL - the new isolated converter
The new USB-RS232 converter plug needs a Windows driver to operate properly. The
driver
FT232RL driver installer (V2.12.28) valid for Windows
7/8/10
You can also check for the latest drivers from this web address:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
FT232RL driver installer (V2.12.24)
valid for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10
MCP2200 - the unisolated converter
The USB-RS232 converter plug needs a Windows driver to operate properly. The
driver is in the USB memory stick already when delivered, needing a separate
installation stage. In case you have lost it, download the file below and unzip
it. Follow the instruction guide contained in the package to make a successful
installation.
Never plug in the USB-RS232 plug before having the driver installed first. That
would create an unworkable situation. In that case, open up the Windows Control
Panel, Hardware Task or Maintenance page. Remove totally the new USB device. You
can identify it by plugging/unplugging it and it will be updated to the list of
USB devices. Select remove and remove the device and its driver and then
disconnect the USB-RS232. Then, install properly the driver. Only then you can
plug in the USB-RS232 converter and after a little while, take it into use as
guided.
With Windows 8 you may encounter language problems preventing proper
installation. In those cases, please point to the MCHPCDC.INF file with your
mouse and right-click over it. Then select the Install option and perform the
installation bypassing other stuff. This file is in the X86 folder which is for
the regular 32 bit Windows 8 setup. Contact Visilab if your problems persist.

An updated version available (05052016)
Simple guidelines on how to upgrade
-
Download the ZIP bundle and copy it to your PC. Explode the ZIP file (preferrably
with Windows tools)
- Run the setup.exe program. It does have multi-lingual installers. Note that
the first-time installation always takes more time than the following
installations as the run-time kernels need to be installed too. That calls for
restarting-the-PC gymnastics, unfortunately, but only once. If you install
several programs made by Visilab and of same generation, only one restart is
required.
Please note that the new AK30 uses normally 115200bauds for communications and
the old model A meter uses always 9600 bauds but AK40 can be set to either 9600 or
115 200 bauds if the cables allow it working so fast. Before running the program
the first time, read the PDF documentation in the package.
- Copy the ZIP file or the contents of the USB memory stick to the hard
disk of the Vista running PC. Location is not important at this time.
- Start installation by running the SETUP.EXE application (belonging to
the particular software; do not copy all files of all installation folders to
the same folder) by double clicking its name or icon in the folder.
- Answer all questions (not many) and allow the installer to complete the
procedure.
- You can now launch the program by double-clicking the icon (shortcut).
You have to reply to a question or two about the reliability of the program,
allow it to operate.
- For running the Advanced program, do not forget to copy the license.ini
file to the expected location to allow it to run. Else it will stop soon after
launching informing you that the license is not found. The likely location for
the license file is: "c:\program files\advanced".
For the Moisture program, the license file litelicense.ini must be
equally available for the program to launch properly.
