Chapter 22.4 Compliant Mode Considerations Prior To InstallationIf the CoulArray ® Data Station software is going to be installed for compliant modeoperation, extra considerations must be addressed before the installation:1. Compliant mode operation provides the ability to create electronically signed PDFfiles of chromatogram reports. This requires a copy of Adobe ® Acrobat ® software.Ideally, this program should be installed prior to installation of the CoulArray ® DataStation software. If installing Acrobat after the Data Station software, refer to Section2.8.When installing Adobe ® Acrobat ® , ensure that the Distiller ® program is also installed.Without Distiller, the Data Station software will not be able to create and sign PDFfiles of chromatogram reports. (Distiller is normally installed automatically duringAcrobat installation. Installation can be verified by running Acrobat and clickingAcrobat Distiller in the Advanced menu. If installed, Distiller should open as asmall dialog-based application.)2. Compliant mode operation requires that the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine(MSDE) or SQL Server also be installed and running. If either MSDE or SQL Serveris already installed on the computer, the existing installation will be left intact. Ifneither is installed, the installation program will automatically install MSDE.NOTE: If planning to use Microsoft SQL Server for the compliant modeadministrative database, install it according to the developer’s instructionsprior to installing the Data Station software.IMPORTANT: If MS SQL Server software was previously installed onthe system computer and later uninstalled, make sure to delete the directoryC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and its entire contents prior toinstalling the Data Station software. Otherwise, installation will not succeed.For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article “Setup Failed toConfigure the Server” Error Message When You Install MSDE, ID Number:816499, on the Microsoft website.6 CoulArray ® Data Station 3.00Getting Started Manual
