Installation instructions
The software required for running DigiSim is downloaded in a self-extracting archive (install30.exe). Once downloaded, the .exe file should be run. The default directory to which the files will be extracted is c:\digisim_temp (this directory can be changed by the user). Once the files have been successfully extracted, run the setup.exe file in the destination directory, and follow the instructions.
Once the DigiSim software has been installed, the dongle driver must also be installed. Select DigiSim from the Start/Programs menu, then click the appropriate Dongle Driver (Version 5.38.2 for Windows 9x or WIN_NT for Intel for Windows NT). Since you are upgrading from a previous version DigiSim, the existing dongle driver must first be removed by clicking Remove Sentinel Driver in the Functions menu. The new driver is installed by clicking Install Sentinel Driver in the same menu. Once the driver has been installed, the PC must be restarted in order for the changes to take effect.
Opening DigiSim
When DigiSim is opened, the opening menu showing the DigiSim logo should be
displayed. The basic operations of DigiSim (running a simulation, CV - the MovieTM,
and fitting experimental data) are discussed in a number of tutorials.
These are supplemented by a comprehensive set of Help files.
