Seismic Evaluation Software Installation
Important: For reliable USB communication, the USBXpress driver must be installed after the Seismic
Evaluation Software installation but before launching the application. The USBXpress driver files are in-
cluded in a sub-folder as part of the installation.
To install the Cirrus Logic Seismic Evaluation Software:
•
Go to the Cirrus Logic Industrial Software web page (http://www.cirrus.com/industrialsoftware). Click
the link for “Cirrus Seismic Evaluation GUI” to get to the download page and then click the link for “Cir-
rus Seismic Evaluation GUI Release Vxx” (xx indicates the version number).
•
•
•
Read the software license terms and click “Accept” to download the “SeismicEvalGUI_vxx.zip” file to
any directory on the PC.
Unzip the downloaded file to any directory and a “distribution” sub-folder containing the installation ap-
plication will automatically be created.
Open the “distribution” sub-folder and run “setup.exe”. If the Seismic Evaluation Software has been
previously installed, the uninstall wizard will automatically remove the previous version and you will
need to run “setup.exe” again.

Follow the instructions presented by the Cirrus Seismic Evaluation Installation Wizard. The default in-
stallation location is “C:\Program Files\Cirrus Seismic Evaluation”.
