2 Installing the M3 software
If your system is provided with a Sonar Processor, the M3 software has already been installed. If you intend to use your own computer, you must install the software yourself. We recommended installing the latest M3 software on your Sonar Processor.
Prerequisites
|
• |
If you are installing a new software version, uninstall the previous version of the M3 software before proceeding. |
NoteWhen running the M3 software for the first time, a Windows Firewall dialog box may appear. Allow access for all networks.
Procedure
|
1 |
Launch the installer M3_V0253 Setup.exe. |
|
2 |
Follow the installation wizard’s instructions and select Standard Installation.
NoteUse the Dual-M3 on Same PC option only if you are using two M3 Sonars. Selecting this option will install two separate copies of the software, with each copy having its own settings. You can identify which copy you are using by observing the top header of the software presentation. The header will read either “M3 - Master Head” or “M3 - Slave Head”.
