instal folder selection dialog. Additionally the log file Setup.log is created.

Setup.exe /S

Installation in silent mode

The command line parameters to assign the serial number and the installation path are
skipped in silent mode, because those data is set within the file Setup.ini.

For installing the Winlog.basic no serial number is needed.

An existing version of the software will be removed in the first step when using the silent
mode.
To start the setup in silent mode without user interactivity the command line parameter /S is used.
Therefor the file Setup.ini is required in the same folder of the file Setup.exe.
This file has the following format:
[InstalParams]
Serial=<SERIAL>
InstalDir=<INSTALDIR>
InstalLng=<LANGUAGE_CODE>
The key Serial specifies the software's serial number. If it is does not exist or if it is empty the
software's demo version will be installed.
The optional key InstalDir can be used to change the default installation path.
The optional key InstalLng can be used to specify the language to be installed. The table below lists
the possible values for <LANGUAGE_CODE>:

Important notes
Please mind the following notes for the softwares correct operation:

Logger communication in frequency range 2,4 GHz

Loggers of type EBI 10, EBI 15 and EBI 100 (sequel named logger system) communicate over an
IEEE 802.15.4 radio interface utilizing the 2.4 GHz frequency range
This frequency range is also used by WLAN and Bluetooth. Using 2 radio systems on the same
frequency range on the same location can cause interference. To avoid this, you can one of 16
channels for radio transmission.
4 channels are used for communication when loggers have been inserted into the interface (1 channel
per interface port).

As you can see on the image, frequencies for the logger system and WLAN overlap depending on the
used channels. Example: When using a WLAN network on channel 1 you can select channel 15 or
higher for the logger communication.
In case you have several WLAN networks communication on channels 1, 6 and 11 for example, you
can select the channels 15, 20, 25, and 26 for the logger communication.
