1. Noah/OTObase
If you plan to use OTOsuite with Noah or OTObase, first install your Noah or OTObase software.
Doing so will enable you to store measurements with client information in Noah/OTObase.
2. OTOsuite
If Noah/OTObase is installed on the computer, OTOsuite will automatically be installed under
Noah/OTObase. If you install Noah/OTObase after OTOsuite has been installed, you can register
OTOsuite as a module under Noah/OTObase by running PostNOAHInstall.exe.
OTOsuite installation
Note • OTOsuite cannot be installed on a shared network drive.

+R to open the Run window and then type d:\-

The Installation Wizard will guide you through the installation.
The OTOsuite installation may determine a list of prerequisites needed before installing OTOsuite.
This may take several minutes and cause a restart of the computer. If the installation does not continue after restart, run setup.exe again as described above.
•
Select the items in the order they appear and follow the instructions on the screen.
•
The Installation Wizard offers you the choice to install OTOsuite as separate modules in Noah/OTObase, or as one module. If you install OTOsuite as separate modules in Noah/OTObase, then each
time you launch OTOsuite from the Module Selection dialog box in Noah/OTObase, you will be
able to select the module that you want to open.
If you install OTOsuite as a single module in Noah/OTObase, then OTOsuite will open according to
your startup settings when you launch OTOsuite from the Module Selection dialog box in
Noah/OTObase.
When you launch OTOsuite by opening a measurement from Noah/OTObase, OTOsuite will always
open in the module that is best suited to display the measurement.
•
The Installation Wizard will notify you that it installs a usage statistics tool. For a description of the
tool and how to disable/enable the tool see the OTOsuite Platform User Manual.
•
Launch OTOsuite and run the Configuration Wizard. Your license keys are included in the DVD
cover.
Note • The sound card setup set by the OTOsuite Installation may change the default Windows
sound card setup. To change the default setup, see “Sound” in the Windows Control Panel.
Documentation
After you install OTOsuite, you can find OTOsuite manuals and related documentation on your PC. In
the Start menu, open OTOsuite Manuals, which contains an overview with links to all manuals.
Note • Make yourself familiar with the test device, OTOsuite, and their functions and settings,
before you start testing.

If you connected a test device before installing OTOsuite
If you connected a test device before installing OTOsuite, you may experience problems, either
because Windows has installed an incorrect driver for the device, or no driver has been installed.
To solve the problem:
1. Locate the device in the Windows Device Manager.
2. Right-click on the name of the device and then click to update driver software. Allow Windows to
search automatically for the correct device driver.
Important • A device may appear in the Device Manager more than once if it has more than one
driver. Repeat the above procedure for each instance (for example, "SoundHub 100 Headphones + Mic." and "SoundHub 100 Speakers").
