Step 4. Install the DataWise® Core Applications
The core applications are compiled C, C++, and Fortran programs that perform most of the data acquisition, database management, alarm detection and delivery, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and control functions. This software suite can be installed in any desired directory on the target computer.

To install, execute the program DataWiseInstall.exe from the DataWiseV10 directory on the installation media.


The program will prompt for the following:

• The target directory which is the full path to the directory on the target computer in which to install the DataWise® core applications. The target directory will be created if it does not already exist. The most common directory is C:\DataWise


• The name of the ODBC data source and associated login credentials. Once entered, the required tables will be created in the relational database specified by the ODBC connection in Step 3. The core components of DataWise® will have been installed. A description of the tables created is given in Appendix A. Not all tables will be used in every installation as many of them are specific for the type of data acquisition being performed.


• The password to use for the initial administrative account named 'superuser'. This will be the administrative account for the user-interface applications to be installed in Step 5.
