Configuration of the SS20 is accessed using the SCADALink SS20 GUI software connected via the USB port. The software is included on a USB stick shipped with the device and also available online at SS20 Downloads. There are two ways the SCADALink SS20 GUI can be run, either by running the 'installer' or running the 'portable' version.
The installer creates a new installation saved on the computer's hard drive as well as making desktop and start menu shortcuts. To run the installer, click 'start.hta' on the included USB stick and click 'install GUI software', or download and run 'ss20_1.0.0_setup.exe' from the website and follow the onscreen instructions. When the installation is complete the SS20 GUI will start automatically. The installer puts an SS20 icon on the desktop and an entry in the Windows Start Menu. You can use either to start the SS20 GUI.
The Portable version is a self contained application that does not need to be “installed” and can be run directly off the USB stick. This way administrative privileges are not required and no changes are made to the computer. (USB driver installation is still required). The portable folder can be copied to the computers hard drive and run from there as well if desired. To run the portable version from the included USB stick click 'start.hta' and select 'Run from USB' or download 'ss20_1.0.0.zip' from the website and extract the folder to the hard disk. Click on 'ss20.exe' in the extracted folder to run the GUI software.
