Installing Actuel Picoammeter Software on Windows 7

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Normally the installation of our Actuel software used with the RBD 9103 USB Picoammeter is pretty straight forward. Sometimes though, Windows can make it a little bit more challenging.

When installing Actuel on a Windows 7 PC, the setup may not automatically select “run as administrator” and if not, Actuel will load properly but will not communicate with the 9103.

To solve this problem, click on the start button in the lower left hand corner of your monitor and hover over the Actuel program ( if it is not already in the list of programs select All Programs, RBD Instruments, Picoammeter, and then  right click on the Actuel program Icon and select Properties.

Select the Compatibility tab and check the Run this program as administrator check box. Actuel will now properly communicate with the 9103 picoammeter.
