Welcome
Thank you very much for purchasing our product!
We have worked very hard to create a product that will help you master vibration
analysis and run a more successful monitoring program.
If you have any questions, or suggestions for improvements, please do not
hesitate to contact us. This product was first released in September 2000, and
we have continued to improve the product thanks to comments from our other
customers.
This document has been written to help you to install and operate the
iLearnVibration products. It covers the installation and registration process. It
also includes a few support tips and tricks.
Note: On Windows NT , Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista, you
may find that you cannot install this product (or the drivers) if you are not logged
on as the "Administrator". If this is the case, you will need to contact your IT
department for their assistance.
If you have a normal dongle (while LPT dongle or blue/purple USB dongle) and
have not purchased a network license, you can simply click Begin and the
installation wizard will start.
NOTE: If you have a red network dongle (you purchased the network license
version of the system), there is a program called the License Manager which
must be installed on one computer on the network. If you wish to install it on
this computer, and you do not wish to install iLearnVibration on this computer,
please click the Next button to skip this step. There is more on this topic later in
the manual.
Read the license agreement, and click Agree (but only if you do!)
Note: If you ordered iLearnVibration [Instructor] you should select the third
option and go through the installation procedure, and then copy the files from
the supplementary CD to C:\Program files\iLearnInteractive (or wherever
you chose to install iLearnVibration).
Copy resources
It is highly recommended that you run iLearnVibration system with the resources
on your hard drive (or a drive on the network) rather than on the CD. Check the
Copy training resources option to ensure that this happens.
Note: If you are upgrading from Version 2.0 and already have the resources on
your computer, you must re-install the Version 3.3 resources. Simply select the
Copy training resources option and the old resources will be overwritten.
b) Then navigate to the location where you installed our product (probably
C:\Program files\iLearnInteractive) and press ctrl V. All of the files will
then be copied to this new directory.
Once you have made this selection, click Next.
The location set by default is the best location for the system. However you can
copy them on to a different drive if you like. Click Browse to change the
location.
When you click Next, the system will begin the installation process. All of the
products (selected) will be installed, and the resource files will be copied (if
selected).
Note: The License Manager can be installed on ANY computer on the network. It
does not have to be a server. It simply has to be running when other
iLearnVibration users wish to access the system.
Note: Please make sure that you read the section on SetSecurity and NetHASP.ini
files later in this document. In summary:
1) You must tell iLearnVibration that it must get its license from the License
Manager by default it will look for a local dongle. Run SetSecurity (in the
HASP folder of the CD) if you have this problem.
Simply click the Net install button and the installation program will begin.
Note: Aladdin is the company that produces the HASP security modules and
the License Manager software. The network-based security system is called
NetHASP.
You can also specify where the License Manager programs should be located in
your Program list (when you select Start Programs). You could enter
"Mobius iLearnInteractive" and it would appear with our products. It is your
choice.
At this dialog you can take the required action according to the license type you
have purchased.
Register by e-mail
If you purchased the product before March 2003 and did not purchase a dongle,
then you may select the Register by e-mail.
The easiest registration method is to click the Send e-mail button. And e-mail
will be sent to register@ilearninteractive.com with all of the required details.
You can then press Continue, and a short free trial will begin.
When you receive the reply to the e-mail with your registration code, simply run
the software and go to the License details tab, enter the code, and click
Unlock.
Network license
If you own a network license simply click the Register with the License
Manager button. The software will search the network for the License Manager
and log-in. When you next run the software it will automatically attempt to log-
in with the License Manager.
Note: If at any time the system is checking for a local dongle or it is asking for
registration information (and license codes), you can run SetSecurity.exe in the
HASP folder of the CD and select the second option (Network license manager).
From that point on the system will look for the License Manager.
Note: You should ensure that the License Manager is running on a computer on
the network before you attempt to register with the License Manager.
Note: If you have a dongle, or your system utilizes the network License manager
program, then you can skip to the next section.
Select Backup
Click on notes and move forward to page 5. This step will simply copy your
license files to your Windows temporary directory.
You will also find a program on the CD named LicenseBackup.exe. If you run
this program, you will see the following screen:
Select Remove
Select Remove
You will also be asked to confirm the deletion of "read only" files. They are set to
"read only" because they were copied from a CD, and all files on a CD are read-
only. Click Yes to All so that you will not be asked this question again.
Introduction
In this chapter we hope to clarify the license arrangements, and the operation of
the security modules and the network License Manager.
iLearnInteractive may only be run on one computer at a time. If the system is
required to be used by more than one person at a time, or it needs to be used on
different computers, then we have a number of options.
Registration
If you do not have a security module, the software will be locked to the
computer. You will go through the registration process, which involves sending
two special numbers to us, and we reply with a third number. Those two special
numbers uniquely identify your computer (and the time at which registration
occurred).
At this time, once the software is registered on one computer it may only be
operated on that one computer.
Select the second option. It will write to the Registry so that iLearnVibration
knows that it should attempt to get its license information from the License
Manager.
Additional information
There is a file named nethasp.txt in the Hasp/NetHASP directory on the CD. It
contains additional setup and operational information. It has been extracted
from the official Aladdin NetHASP manual.
Software issues
As stated in the introduction, creating a software program that works without
"bugs" on all computers is extremely difficult. In fact, it is impossible.
Is it repeatable?
We always like to know if the problem is repeatable. That means, does the
problem always happen, or only in special circumstances. If it is the later, please
identify those circumstances. A little time spent to isolate the conditions will
save you and us a great deal of time.
Note: You may find a problem that you can work around. We would still like to
know about these problems so that we can correct them, and thus save you and
other users the same frustration.
The top three lines tell us where in the product the error occurred. The middle
section allows you to tell us about the problem, and the bottom section allows
you to try to continue using the software.
Here is an explanation of this "bug catcher" dialog screen.
Tell us about it
We have provided three ways to contact us. The best option is e-mail.
If you click the e-mail button, the software will build an e-mail with all of the
required details and then send it to support@iLearnInteractive.com.
Note: Please do not forget to tell us who you are, and what program it is.
Content issues
If you read some text in the manual, in the iLearnCaseHistories reports, or in the
iLearnVibration scenes (or anywhere else for that matter), we would like to know
so that we can make the correction. Where it is a "typo", an error in logic, or a
difference of opinion, we value you input and want the opportunity to improve
our product.
So, please document the change that you feel needs to be made and write to
support@ilearninteractive.com.
In this example, you can see that the name of the scene is mp3 : #29 Scene. To
make life even easier, if you simply click on the name of the scene, the name will
be copied to the clipboard so that you may paste it into your e-mail message to
us.
Operating system
We support Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 and Vista. At this stage there are no
known conflicts between our products and any of those operating systems.
Note: If you do run Windows NT, 2000 or Vista you must have administrator
rights before you can install our software (this is true for all software).
Resolution
600x800, higher The iLearnSignals, iLearnMachineFaults and iLearnInstructor products will
recommended operate on 640x480, however all of the remaining products require
600x800 screen resolution.
It is highly recommended that iLearnVibration is operated at or above 1024x768.
The text used on the iLearnVibration is quite large, so you not find it difficult to
read.
CD ROM
Faster is better. You should also have a CD-ROM drive, the faster the better if you will
operate the software from the CD.
Note: If you load numerous programs into memory when your computer
starts, these programs may use the memory required by iLearnInteractive. If you
have any software problems, first try and remove these "start-up" programs and
run the product(s) again.
