## Unterstützte Betriebssysteme

Circuit Design Suite 10.0.1 unterstützt Windows Vista/XP/2000 32-Bit-Versionen und Windows Vista 64-Bit Version. Circuit Design Suite 10.0.1 läuft nicht unter Windows NT/Me/98/95.

Die Circuit Design Suite Versionshinweise enthalten eine vollständige Liste der Systemvoraussetzungen.

## Installieren der Circuit Design Suite 10.0.1

Falls die Circuit Design Suite 10.0 bereits installiert ist, können Sie Circuit Design Suite 10.0.1 installieren, ohne Circuit Design Suite 10.0 zuvor zu deinstallieren. Vor dem ersten Start eines Circuit Design Suite-Produktes nach dessen Aktualisierung auf 10.0.1 kann zunächst ein NI-Aktivierungsassistent erscheinen. Um das Produkt mit dem entsprechenden Code zu aktivieren, wählen Sie diesen aus und klicken Sie auf Weiter. Hinweis: Da Circuit Design Suite die Version 10.0.1 über der Version 10.0 installiert, können nicht beide Programmversionen von Circuit Design Suite 10.0 und 10.0.1 gleichzeitig auf dem Rechner installiert sein.

Falls Sie Circuit Design Suite 10.0 nicht installiert haben, können Sie Circuit Design Suite 10.0.1 installieren, ohne zuvor Circuit Design Suite 10.0. zu installieren.

Für weitere Informationen zur Installation der Circuit Design Suite, lesen Sie bitte die Circuit Design Suite-Versionshinweise.

### Installieren der Circuit Design Suite im Hintergrund

Sie können programmatisch steuern, welche Funktionen der Circuit Design Suite für die Installation aktiviert werden sollen und welche nicht. Dies bedeutet, das eine Untermenge der Circuit Design Suite im Hintergrund installiert wird. Weitere Informationen über Installation der Circuit Design Suite im Hintergrund und Auswahl der automatisch zu installierenden Funktionen finden Sie unter silent_install.txt im Verzeichnis Supportdateien auf der CD der Circuit Design Suite.

### Installation mehrerer Versionen

Es ist nicht möglich, Circuit Design Suite 10.0 in demselben Verzeichnis zu installieren, wie eine Vorgängerversion von Multisim/Ultiboard. Um Circuit Design Suite 10.0 in einem Verzeichnis zu installieren, dass bereits eine Vorgängerversion von Multisim/Ultiboard enthält, müssen Sie diese Version zunächst deinstallieren. Sie sollten außerdem eine Sicherungskopie der Firmendatenbank erstellen, die sich unter <INSTALLDIR>\database\CPCOMP_S.PRJ befindet, da diese Datei ersetzt werden wird.

## Lizenzierung

Die Circuit Design Suite wird durch eine Lizenz aktiviert. Es steht Ihnen eine zeitlich begrenzte Lizenz für eine Evaluierungszeit von 30 Tagen zur Verfügung. Falls Sie die Lizenz für die Circuit Design Suite nicht aktivieren, wird die Circuit Design Suite standardmäßig für die Dauer von 30 Tagen im Evalierungsmodus ausgeführt. Sobald die Evaluierungsperiode abläuft, muss eine gültige Lizenz für die Circuit Design Suite aktiviert werden, um Circuit Design Suite weiterhin nutzen zu können. Um die Lizenz der Circuit Design Suite zu aktivieren, nutzen Sie bitte die Ihrem Installationspaket beiliegende Seriennummer.

Falls Sie von Circuit Design Suite 10.0 auf Circuit Design Suite 10.0.1 aktualisieren, ohne zuvor Circuit Design Suite 10.0 zu deinstallieren, muss die Lizenz der Circuit Design Suite nicht aktiviert werden.

Für weitere Informationen zur Lizenzierung der Circuit Design Suite lesen Sie bitte die Circuit Design Suite-Versionshinweise.

## Bekannte Probleme

### LabVIEW

- LabVIEW-Komponenten (LabVIEW-Instrumente und Graphinterpolation) funktionieren nicht, wenn im Installationspfad Zeichen enthalten sind, die den Einstellungen unter "Sprache für Programme, die Unicode nicht unterstützen" im Dialogfeld Start»Systemsteuerung»Regions- und Sprachoptionen auf der Registerkarte Erweitert wiedersprechen. Die LabVIEW-Komponenten funktionieren nur für Unicode-Zeichen, die diesen Einstellungen entsprechen.

### Windows Vista

- Aus Gründen der Kompatibilität wird im Zuge des Circuit Design Suite-Installationsprozesses der Schreibzugriff auf das Verzeichnis Programmdateien/National Instruments aktiviert.
- Mittels der Parameter -start und -stop oder der net start und net stop-Windowsbefehle können Sie die folgenden Dienste aus der Windows Vista-Systemzeile nicht starten bzw. anhalten:
  - National Instruments PSP Server Locator
  - Lookout Citadel-Server
  - National Instruments Zeit-Synchronisierung
  - National Instruments Domain-Service
  Um diese Dienste anzuhalten, verwenden Sie bitte die Dienste-Funktion, die Sie unter Start»Systemsteuerung»Verwaltung»Dienste finden. Außerdem werden NI-Anwendungen diese Dienste nicht mehr automatisch starten, wenn dieser Dienst nicht bereits läuft.
- Da die standardmäßigen Schriftarten in Windows Vista sich von den standardmäßigen Schriftarten der Windows-Vorgängerversion unterscheiden, könnten Ihnen kosmetische Änderungen auffallen, wie z.B. überlappende oder abgekürzte Zeichenfolgen kundenspezifischer LabVIEW-Instrumente, die in vorherigen Windows-Versionen erstellt wurden. Um dieses Problem zu beheben, ändern Sie bitte die Darstellung des Betriebssystems auf Windows klassisch im Dialogfeld Darstellung und starten Sie LabVIEW erneut. Wählen Sie Start»Systemsteuerung»Darstellung und persönliche Einstellungen und klicken Sie auf Darstellung ändern, um das Dialogfeld Darstellung anzuzeigen.
- Sie können Circuit Design Suite 10.0.1 nicht unter der Windows Vista Starter-Version installieren.
- MultiVHDL lässt sich nicht unter Windows Vista installieren.
