Checking that the software has been installed correctly (Installation Qualification - IQ)

The Installation Qualification (IQ) is a procedure confirming that the software has been installed successfully and that correct versions of files are present.

  1. Install the Clarity station according to the instructions of the Installation Wizard.
  2. After the installation has been completed, you can open IQ by searching for IQ Report in the search field of the Start menu. Alternatively you can start IQ by using C:\Clarity\Bin\IQ.exe.
  3. If the installation has been correctly performed, the status should read: "Installation Qualification Test: Passed".
  4. If the Installation Qualification fails, it is recommended to uninstall and then re-install Clarity. If it fails again, contact DataApex support.
  5. Note:

    You can use Show files list to display list of all validated files and search for the ones that are causing issues.

  6. The Installation Qualification report can then be printed, copied to the Windows Clipboard or sent as an email.

Caution:

Some driver packages have standalone IQ that must be performed separately by clicking here in given section. Clarity IQ is NOT valid unless IQ of all components passed and reports are stored together.

Note:

The most common reason for a "Failed" result is the installation of an updated version over an existing installation of Clarity. This itself does not produce any errors but since some of the files are preserved from the original installation, the checksums will not match.
