Install ATS Inspect Data Collect
For computers that require Inspect Data Collect, a separate installer is provided. This provides a quick and convenient method of deploying the application to the shop floor. Should a previous version exist, it must be uninstalled before proceeding.
You must run the Inspect installation with administrative rights. In Windows 10 and above you must also have elevated rights.
Install the latest ASP.NET Core Runtime 9.0.0 x64 and .NET Desktop Runtime 9.0.0 x64 executables.
Run the ATS-Inspect-Data-Collect-x.x.x.x.exe. The following screen will be displayed.
Click Next.
If required, change the installation location.
Select “I agree to the License terms and conditions" and click Next to proceed.
Enter the endpoint for the Data Service.
The format of the endpoint must be https://machine.domain:portnumber.
Either tick the Prompt for station checkbox or enter a Station code.
If the Prompt for station checkbox is ticked, a popup window opens when Data Collect is run and enables the operator to select the station. This option can be changed later in Cockpit.
Press Next.
Press Install.
When the installation is complete, press Finish to close the installation program.
