Pre-Installation Checklist
Please complete the following items before installing DoseControl software
Log on with an Administrator Account for the PC computer
You will need to log on to the computer where DoseControl is being installed with an account that has administrative privileges. You will need admin privileges to install DoseControl, copy modules to the Program folder, as well as install the necessary drivers and software for any hardware associated with the DoseControl Dosimetry System. Be prepared in advance.
Decide on the Global Administrator password for the DoseControl software.
DoseControl requires you to set up a Global Admin account for the software. Upon first installation, DoseControl software will prompt you to create this Global Admin account - so be ready to enter a password. You cannot change the Global Admin’s password at a later date.
Write down the password for the Global Administrator account. Keep the Global Admin username/password in a safe place. You cannot change this password at a later date.
Install Microscoft SQL Server - DoseControl software requires a SQL Server setup prior to the software installation.
DoseControl software uses a Microsoft SQL Server for its application database. The GEX application connects to a SQL database to save and edit all system configuration parameters and dosimetry measurement information. Installing MS SQL Server Express takes only a few minutes.
Recommendation for DoseControl Basic License: Use MS SQL Server Express installed on the same PC workstation on which you will install DoseControl.
Install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
SSMS is a tool that allows you to manage your MS SQL Server Express server and the application database for DoseControl.
Create a master connection string
You will use a connnection string to connect the DoseControl software with the MS SQL Server (application database).
Write down your connection string. This makes it easy to copy & paste it into the DoseControl master connection string field.
