Installation instructions for LX Event Software
--------------------------------------------------------

To run, the LX Event software must be installed on the hard disk of your computer. No
other programs should be running when you install the LX Event software.

The LX Event software must be installed before plugging in the software key or phone
interface that comes with your software. In order to install the software on your PC, do
the following steps in order:

• Insert CD labeled LX Event into your computer. Open “My Computer,” click on
the drive, and you will now see a list of files that should be installed in the
following order. Click on prompts where appropriate and let the system default
during the installation and rebooting anytime it requests:

• Double-click on 1_SentinelInstall. This is the software that allows the system to recognize your software key.

• Double-click on 2_AdobeReader. (If Adobe Reader already exists on your computer, you may want to skip this step.)

• Double-click on 3_NationalInstall. This is a big installation and may take some time.

• Double-click on 4_PDFDriverInstall. This will allow you to save reports on your computer.

• Double-click on 5_LXInstall. This is the LX Event Application itself.

• The next file is optional as it contains a set of sample patient data that you may want to use to learn or demo the system. 
Load the sample patient data by double-clicking on 6_SamplePatients. 
If you load the sample patient data, be sure to delete the records before going live with LX Event.

• Now Insert the License CD into your computer. Open the CD directory and click on the License file.

• Plug the software key into an available USB port on your computer and let the system install the software for it.

• Plug the USB cable from the Telephone Interface Unit (TIU) into your computer and let the system install its software. 
The LX Event CD may have to be in the machine during the installation.  

• Now plug the wire from your telephone network into the plug labeled “Line” in the back of the TIU. 
You can also plug the microphone into the front of the TIU for local recording purposes.
• Re-boot the computer to ensure all devices and software are registered.

• The proper installation of the phone interface can be verified by starting 
"All Programs -> National Instruments -> Measurement & Automation". 
From the "configuration" window, double click on "devices and interfaces" 
and then on "NIDAQmx Devices". In the window to the right, an entry of the 
form "NI USB-6008 Devx" should appear with a green flag to the left of the text. 
x should be between 1 and 9.  

• You will also see a file called 7_MakeSDTransferCard on your LX Event CD.
This file can be used to format SD Cards to be used with LX Event. SD Cards 
are used to download ECG data from a DR200/Tel-a-heart event recorder to LX Event. 
When you run this bat file and point to the SD Card, the bat file will place a file called “event.dat” 
on the SD card so that ECG data can be saved on the card. For more information on formatting 
and saving data on SD Cards, refer to Appendix A.

• The last file, 8_LX_Event_RevA.pdf is a copy of this manual. You can either use it
from the CD or copy and paste it onto your PC for easy access while using the software.

• Launching LX Event The installation process should have installed an LX Event icon on your desktop. 
LX Event can also be found in the Start menu by pressing Start -> All Programs -> NorthEast Monitoring Inc -> LX Event.
