The RadiMation® device drivers are sometimes using the OPC protocol to retrieve information from other measurement systems. To be able to communicate with these other systems, some additional software is needed. This additional software is provided by the 'OPC_Drivers.exe', which can be downloaded from this webpage. The OPC_Drivers.exe is an installation program that installs these additional OPC libraries. This program will only install the additional OPC libraries, the RadiMation® device drivers itself can be downloaded from their own page.
Download
When the OPC Drivers installation is downloaded, it can then be used to update the drivers on a machine which has RadiMation® installed. When the OPC_Drivers.exe is started, a small check for installed RadiMation® versions is done. The end-user is then presented with a list, where he can select the RadiMation® version for which the device drivers should be updated.
Only one RadiMation® version can be updated at a time. If multiple versions of RadiMation® installations should be updated, the OPC_Drivers.exe program should be started multiple times.
Version
The version of OPC_Drivers.exe is a time stamp which describes the date and time on which the device drivers are compiled. This date and time stamp can be used to determine different revisions of the device drivers.
The time stamp is encoded like:
YYYY.MM.DD.HHmm
which is <Year>.<Month>.<Day>.<Hour>:<Minute>
Example
The version of this example is: 2016, June, 9th on 14:37 PM.
