Installation of EDM Software
What You Will Need
Installation of EDM requires a valid CoCo license key, as
well as an installation CD or file. For EDM to run, a SQL
database manager is necessary. EDM comes with an
installer for MSSQL if there is no SQL manager detected
on the system.
Software Included on Installation CD
The Installation CD includes Crystal Instruments’ EDM
software as well as several other necessary software
installers required for proper operation. EDM uses
Microsoft Word for generating reports, which should be
installed on your computer prior to the installation of
EDM. EDM does not include Microsoft Word in its
installation files.
EDM Software: This is the software and user interface
used to connect the CoCo hardware to the computer and
manage your data.
Microsoft SQL Server Software (MSSQL): A SQL server is
required. MSSQL Server is included to manage the
database system that stores route and measurement data
on the PC and CoCo.
USB Driver for CoCo: The USB driver is required to
connect the CoCo hardware to the PC with a USB
connection. The CoCo driver does not install
automatically, the location will need to be specified.

CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Microsoft .NET Framework: .NET will be installed
automatically if it is not already installed on your
computer.
Tip: Check with your system administrator or IT
department prior to installation. It is generally
a good idea to run Microsoft Windows Update
to make sure your system is completely up-to-
date with all security releases before you install
new software.
Note: Administrator privileges are required for
installation. Please contact your IT department
for information regarding installation of
applications.

EDM Software CD
Engineering Data Management (EDM) is PC software used
for data management, post signal processing, viewing,
reporting, and connecting Crystal Instruments hardware,
the PC, and the data storage system. EDM provides
connectivity to one or more CoCo devices. It provides
data management tools to search through many tests and
records, and view file properties or waveform
characteristics. The analysis tools display data in a wide
variety of formats and configurations to help identify
important signal characteristics using cursors. The report
tool documents the hardware configuration or data
analysis results in a user formatted document.

uses a License Key file to enable or disable certain
functions. License Key files are also used to control the
Activation Period and Software Subscription Renew
period. Multiple License Keys can be installed in one EDM
installation. This allows one instance of EDM to run
multiple Crystal Instruments devices.
A typical management page for license keys is shown in
Figure 4.

Creating a Database
This section describes a step by step process of creating a
database in EDM. A database consists of one or more
Factories, Machines, Points, Entries, and Routes. This data
is saved in a SQL database on the PC. Once the database
is setup in EDM it must be uploaded to the CoCo.
Accessing a New Database
The first time EDM is used a database must be created. All
data that is collected by the CoCo and analyzed in the
EDM software is stored in a database on the PC. Multiple
databases can be maintained for different factories, ships,
buildings, etc., or a single database can keep all collected
data and factory information.
The first step is to create an empty database in EDM. Click
the Access button on the Database Ribbon to open the
Login tab in the Database Access Wizard.
Figure 14: Database Access Wizard
Select the radio button next to Create a new database,
then click the Next button. Type a name for the new

CoCo-80 Quick Reference
16
database and then click Create. EDM will then initialize
the Database, which may take a few seconds. A message
will indicate when the database has been created.
Figure 15: Database Access Wizard creating new
database
Next click the Access button to access the new Database.
This closes the wizard and displays the Database structure
in the Database Explorer.
Creating Database Items: Factories, Machines, Points,
Entries and Routes
The Database Explorer displays the structure of the
Database on the top half. The view can be expanded and
condensed by clicking on the triangle controls to show or
hide the items contained in the element.
For example, a Factory can contain several machines, and
each machine can contain several measurement Points.
Clicking the triangle next to the Machine displays or hides
the Points. This helps in managing a database that
includes a large number of items.
