Prerequisites

 
Before installing NemaStudio
 
Before you install NemaStudio, please make sure you have:
 
 
NemaStudio requires the Microsoft .Net Framework*. The .Net Framework comes standard with Windows, and is probably already installed on your computer if you have regularly installed the Microsoft updates. If the installer can not find the .Net Framework on your system, the installation program will install the .Net Framework automatically before NemaStudio is installed. The installation time will be considerabel longer in this case.
 
You are of course free to install the .Net Framework yourself before you install NemaStudio. The Microsoft .Net Framework can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here.
 
After installation we advise strongly to check out the Program Settings and tweak these to your preferences. At the same time you also may want to check if Communications Settings and NMEA Settings are OK to you or if you want to change these.
 
It is recommended that you play a little around with the program after the installation so you become familiar with the different functions. Sometimes the management of the panels like hiding, docking and floating can be a bit confusing in the beginning if you are unfamiliar with this type of user interface. Once used to it you will appreciate the flexibility in customizing the interface to your personal taste.
 
If you are not familiar with the type of user interface that NemaStudio uses, please consult the "User Interface" chapter in this help file.
It is also recommended that you have a look at the settings page and update the default settings as required, before you open an instrument or target. You will find the settings (not surprisingly...) under the settings menu.
 
*) Currently NemaStudio requires version 3.5 of the .Net Framework. Sailsoft may change the version of the .Net Framework to a higher version without explicit notice.
 
 

NB: IT IS HIGLY RECOMMENDED TO INITIALIZE THE SERIAL PORTS OF YOUR SYSTEM  IN THE 

COMMUNICATIONS SETTINGS OPTIONS

AS FIRST ACTION AFTER INSTALLATION BY CLICKING THE "RESET ALL PORTS" BUTTON. THIS WILL SCAN YOUR SYSTEM FOR AVAILABLE SERIAL PORTS AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO NEMASTUDIO.
