Quick setup
This describes the steps involved in succesfully setting up the SprayQc application and its respective plugins. When a certain plugin is
not desired, the associated DLL (e.g. sprayqc.video.DLL) can simply be removed from the directory where SprayQc is installed.
- Standard Thermo setup for the control PC: Quad-core CPU with 4Gb of RAM.
- Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 (32-bit)
- Sonation column oven and control software version >= 3.2.
- A video-server (e.g. Grand IP video server).
- Thermo nLC (support for other LC devices is underway).
- MSFileReader latest version.
The control PC is required to be run with full administrator rights to prevent any problems with blocked access.
When all software listed above has been installed you can start the application. The plugins automatically have reasonable settings for
most of their options. Below is a description of how to change the most important settings. For more information on these settings and the
additionally available settings.
| Plugin setup – SprayQc.notification |

Select ‘Mail [notification]’ in the plugin list. For each operator enter an operator-id (encoded in the filename, see Plugin setup –
SprayQc.filesystem) and the associated e-mail address. An entry can be added by pressing the  button, which opens
a dialog.
| Plugin setup – SprayQc.filesystem |
