1Introduction

This is the installation manual of SyGRD ([sigúrd]), which is an abbreviation of “System of GraphReading and numerical data Displaying with image analysis software”. SyGRD is built by the macro

Step 3 : Create work folder

Next, you must create a folder for extracting the ﬁles of SyGRD and saving the graph image ﬁles andreading numerical data ﬁles. This folder is called ‘work folder’ in this manual. You may create thework folder anywhere and decide the name of the work folder. However, it is desirable to creat the work
folder immediately under the folder where the image analysis software has been installed.

Step 4 : Download SyGRD package file and extract

After ﬁnishing the installation and set up parameters of image analysis software, download SyGRD package ﬁle (ﬁle name is “sygrd.exe”) from SyGRD download Web page and save to your computer. The“sygrd.exe” is a self-extracting ﬁle. When double clicking the icon of this ﬁle, it is displayed that thedialog box which inputs the extracting folder path. Input the work folder path (for example, C:/Program
Files/Scion Corporation/Scion Image/work) and click a “OK” button. All ﬁles are extracted automatically. If there is a file having the same name as shown in the list below in the same folder,that file is overwritten. Be careful for overwriting when extracting the ﬁles.
The extracted ﬁles and their explanations are as follows:
file names
00edigit.txt
00edigitXP.txt
smp1.bmp
ifg/SyGmanu.pdf
ifg/SyGinst.pdf
ifg/error.bmp
ifg/etype.bmp
