Software Overview

Chapter 1 General Information

1

PC-IP is a licensed software product included with the CM100 IP, CM250 IP, and CM500 IP Install Profiler. The license agreement is similar to most other software license agreements, requiring that it be used for the single installation on one PC and that the only copying rights are for backup purposes.

The PC-IP software provides configuration and measurement data management capabilities for the Install Profiler, as well as the ability to view and download test results stored in the Install Profiler. The PC-IP software will also allow the user to configure the Install Profiler for specific use, upload or download setup data, edit data and manage multiple databases for one or multiple Install Profilers directly or over the network by exporting the configuration database file to an FTP server.

For complete instructions on operating the Install Profiler units, consult the Install Profiler User’s Manual.
