Install BESTCOMSPlus
®
Note
Do not connect a USB cable until setup completes successfully.
Connecting a USB cable before setup is complete may result in
unwanted or unexpected errors.
1. Insert the BESTCOMSPlus CD-ROM into the PC CD-ROM drive.
2. When the BESTCOMSPlus Setup and Documentation CD menu appears, click the Install button for
the BESTCOMSPlus application. The setup utility installs BESTCOMSPlus, the .NET Framework (if
not already installed), the USB driver, and the DECS-250N plugin for BESTCOMSPlus on your PC.
When BESTCOMSPlus installation is complete, a Basler Electric folder is added to the Windows
programs menu. This folder is accessed by clicking the Windows Start button and then accessing the
Basler Electric folder in the Programs menu. The Basler Electric folder contains an icon that starts
BESTCOMSPlus when clicked.
Activation of the DECS-250N Plugin for BESTCOMSPlus
®
The DECS-250N plugin is a module that runs inside the BESTCOMSPlus shell. The DECS-250N plugin
contains specific operational and logic settings for only the DECS-250N. Uploading settings to the DECS-
250N is possible only after activating the DECS-250N plugin.
The DECS-250N plugin can be activated automatically or manually. Automatic activation is achieved by
using a USB cable to establish communication between the DECS-250N and BESTCOMSPlus. Manual
activation is initiated by contacting Basler Electric for an activation key and entering the key into
BESTCOMSPlus. Manual activation is useful if you want to create a settings file prior to receiving your
digital excitation system. Note that if a DECS-250N is not connected, you will not be able to configure
certain Ethernet settings. Ethernet settings can be changed only when an active USB or Ethernet
connection is present. Refer to Manual Activation of DECS-250N Plugin.
