Installation

💻 Requirements#

To run Measmatic, the following requirements must be met:

  • 64-bit Windows 11
  • 8 GB of RAM
  • 1 GB of free disk space
  • DirectX 9c compatible (DirectX 11 preferred) video card (GPU) with at least 256 MB VRAM

Tip

To make the best possible use of the high-performance diagram view, we recommend also having a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or later or equivalent AMD Radeon GPU with at least 2 GB of VRAM. This ensures optimal performance when rendering complex diagrams.

⚙ Setup#

Info

The Measmatic installer will be available for download after purchase.

  1. Run the installer

    • Double-click the Measmatic installer.

    • Follow the on-screen prompts:

      • Accept the UAC security prompt (the installer is signed by the certified publisher ATV Systems GmbH).
      • Choose the installation path (only on first installation, otherwise the existing path is used).
      • Choose the Measmatic data directory (only on first installation, otherwise the existing path is used).
      • Choose the installation options:
        • Install CodeMeter runtime: The CodeMeter runtime is required to run Measmatic, as the Measmatic license is managed by WIBU-SYSTEMS CodeMeter.
        • Activate 30 days trial version: Activates a 30 days trial license. The trial version can only be activated once per machine.
        • Create a desktop shortcut.

    After all settings are confirmed, the installation will begin.

  2. Complete Installation

    • Click "Finish" when the installer completes.

    If the option to launch Measmatic is checked, the application will start automatically. Otherwise, launch Measmatic from the start menu or desktop shortcut.

Tip

For editing tests, Python devices and export scripts in developer mode, Visual Studio Code is required. It can be downloaded from https://code.visualstudio.com/download.

🔁 Update#

If you already have Measmatic installed, you can update to the latest version by running the installer again. Follow the same steps as for the initial installation (see Setup).

The installation path and the data folder cannot be changed during an update.

Before the update the setup will create a backup of the following directories inside the Measmatic data directory:

AdapterFiles, Configuration, ExportFilter, Libraries, Lua, LuaDeviceTests, MachinePins, PinGroupsFiles, PythonDevices, PythonTests, Scripts, SortingTables, TestTemplates

The backup is stored in the Backup subfolder of the Measmatic data folder as a ZIP file.

Info

With Measmatic 26, the structure of the data directory has changed: tests, Python devices and export scripts are now stored in the Libraries folder (see defaults). The former folders ExportFilter, Lua, LuaDeviceTests, PythonDevices and PythonTests of Measmatic 2.5 and earlier are included in the backup so that no content is lost during the update.
