Vega

A command-line tool to receive data from Ophir Vega Device

Compile

dependencies

• OphirCom: device driver
• clipp
• boost/range/adaptor/indexed

using c++17

Note: this program is using some codes that are deprecated C++17.

Before Using

1. Install Driver

First, Unplug the device from the computer. Double click InstallOphirCom.bak in the package, and confirm the consent prompt from UAC. (Or you also could right-click InstallOphirCom.bak and click on Run as an administrator)

You will see a message from the windows registry server if success.

2. Open Command Prompt

There are two ways to open a Command Prompt in windows.

1. Open the Start menu, type cmd
2. Use win+R, type cmd and click ok

Note: The Command Prompt does not need to, and shouldn’t be run as an administrator. It might pose problems when you edit the data log files.

3. Change Directories

Use cd /d to Change Directories to the Vega.exe resides.

(/d means changes the current drive at the same time.)

cd /d "/path/to/Vega.exe"

For example, if Vega.exe is located in C:\desktop\Ophir Vega\Vega.exe, you can use

cd /d "C:\desktop\Ophir Vega"

4. Run it!

And now you can use

./Vega.exe [options]

to run the program

5. Uninstall Driver

Uninstall is not necessary after finishing the program. But if you want, unplug the device from the computer and double click the RemoveOphirCom.bak are all you have to do.
