Installing NanoScope Software

System Requirements

CAUTION: Contact Bruker Technical Support before attempting to increase the RAM of your system. Failure to do so could cause irreparable damage to your system.

The 8.x version of NanoScope software requires the following:

Before You Install

CAUTION: Ensure you have backed up all critical data onto external media before installing the NanoScope software.
  1. If you are upgrading from a previous version of NanoScope, ensure you are starting with a working version. The settings from the working version will be used for the new version.
  2. Note that some of the installation screen views may not appear, or may appear slightly different, depending on your particular system configuration.
  3. Ensure you are logged in as Administrator on the local workstation.

NanoScope 8.x Installation

NOTE: Most systems are configured on the microscopes prior to delivery.
  1. Insert the NanoScope 8.x CD-ROM in your CD drive, open the CD-ROM files, open the v8.x folder, and select the Setup.exe icon. NanoScope V-PI users will need to append the argument “- InstallNSVLite” to the install command.
NOTE: If you do not have Administrator privileges on your workstation, a Warning, shown in Figure 1, will appear on the screen and installation will discontinue.
