Installation

Requirements

QA40xPlot requires Windows 10 or Windows 11 and a moderate PC. A typical laptop should work fine though very long spectral ffts can tax the cpu (mainly due to the plot complexity). The standard application deliverable is an x64 not-ARM application but if there is demand an ARM version could be available.

Installer

The installer may be run from github-io. Once installed, copy the desktop icon to the taskbar if you wish to pin it there.

Updates

  • The program executed by the desktop icon is a shell that checks for updates and then executes the application. If you pin the running application to your taskbar that icon will not run the update check.
  • There is no way to change your mind and get an update that you turned down. You won't lose anything long-term -- each update is a full refresh.

Application Program

Source Code

All application source code (except 3rd party libraries and the installer key file) is in this repository. It is generally updated when the binary is updated.

Runnable Program Files

The simplest way to get the application files is by browsing to the github-io repository for the binaries. The .application file is the runnable shell. The standard runnable is in the QAPlot folder.
