Radcal Corporation, Monrovia, CA (626)357-7921
XLPRO-USB
Waveform-capture software
Version 4.10.4606
Release Date: 19 Aug 2022
For Use with USB-Capable Radcal Radiation Monitors.
===========================================================================
Installation Notes:

1.	Please be aware that Version 4.10 will overwrite previous installations of XLPRO.
	However, after installation of Version 4.10, you may go back and reinstall version 3.xx
	and have both versions available for use.

2.	Please note that Version 4.xx is only capable of communicating via the USB.
	Versions prior to 4.xx were only capable of communication via the Serial Port.
	An adapter (Radcal Adapter 8408) is available for USB-to-serial translation.
	The 9010, 9015, and 4083 require an adapter for use with this software version.
	Please note that other brands of USB/Serial adapters will not work due to coding issues.

3.	The macro security level in Microsoft Excel must be set to low or medium for Excel macros to run.
	High level disables all macros from running. Enabling macros in Excel2007 (Windows XP or Windows 
	Vista) is a little more complicated - see Enable Macros.pdf on the CD and in the Manuals sub-folder.

4.	Purple-colored USB software-security keys are for software demonstrations only and will only function
	for a limited time.

5.	Manuals (in Adobe PDF format) and sample Excel templates will be installed under
	the Radcal XLPRO-USB directory upon completion of setup.exe.
	They can also be accessed directly off of the CD-ROM.

6.	Administrator privileges are required for installation.

7.	This version no longer needs the Sentinel key to operate.

Installation Procedure:

1.	Install XLPRO-USB software CD-ROM prior to connecting the Radcal Radiation Monitor.
	To begin installation, launch the file "setup.exe" located in the root directory
	of the CD-ROM disc.

2.	The setup.exe file will begin an installshield dialog to install the software.
	The first screen displays "Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard for Radcal XLPRO-USB"
	Click on "Next" to continue.

3.	A series of dialog boxes will open and close, and the last box will state:  
	"Sentinel Protection Installer 7.3.2 Setup completed successfully."
	Click "OK" to continue.  This installs drivers which recognize the red USB software-
	security key provided by Radcal.

4.	The next dialog box sets the installation directory for Radcal XLPRO software.
	The default is Program Files\Radcal\XLPRO-USB.
	Click "Next" to continue.

5.	Select or deselect specific instruments. The default is to install all instruments.

6.	Click "Install" to begin installation of the Radcal Software. At its conclusion the
	USB drivers, which allow Microsoft Windows to recognize Radcal USB 
	devices, will be installed silently.

7.	Click "Finish" to exit the installation process.


Troubleshooting:

Functionally, this is how the Radcal data-capture system works:
An Excel spreadsheet uses Excel macros to communicate with dedicated DLLs, which in turn cause Windows
to query the USB security key and to communicate with the Radiation Monitor over the USB.
A look in the Windows Control Panel under "System" and "Device Manager" should not show
any yellow exclamation points or errors associated with this software.
