Installation of PI Manual Logger PC Client

To install PI Manual Logger Client applications, you need to start the PI Manual Logger 2014 Install Kit. You can install all the features or just selected ones. The Common and Documentation features are always installed with any feature.

Note: After you complete the installation of the PC Client, be sure to perform additional configuration steps described in PI Manual Logger configuration.

• Database Files

  If you choose to install the Database Files feature, blank SQL template database files are included in the installation. You must later copy and attach the blank database template to your SQL Server and point PI Manual Logger clients to the attached database. For details about configuring the database location for PI Manual Logger clients, see SQL Server configuration.

• Client Application

  Installs the main PI Manual Logger application.

• AutoSync Utility

  Installs the AutoSync Utility feature on the PC client only if you intend to use PI Manual Logger Mobile 2012. When AutoSync is enabled, PI Manual Logger synchronizes data with the mobile device anytime it is cradled. After installation, refer to Configure AutoSync for details.

• Windows Services and Web Services

  You can install the PI Manual Logger Web Services and PI Manual Logger Windows Services on different systems. To install just these components on a system, use the same setup kit as the PI Manual Logger Client installation and choose the Windows Services and Web Services components. Note that PI Manual Logger Windows Services need to be installed and running only once for the PI Manual Logger SQL Server Database. If you install it on all PI Manual Logger PC Client computers, PI Manual Logger Windows Services create unnecessary transactions.
