Creating Multiple RWMX/RWMC Instances
After you have installed and setup your first SSD with the Master instance, each additional SSD
that you monitor requires you to create a new instance of the software.
If you plan to install more than two SSDs, on the same computer, you will need a multi-port serial
card in your computer. Sensorsoft Corporation offers high-quality multi-port serial cards. More
information is available on our web site (see Getting Help).
Follow these instructions to add an additional instance. Please note that all settings in the Master
instance are copied when a new instance is created. Additional instances can only be added and
removed using the Master instance. The Master instance is indicated by the letter M on the
monitoring window as shown in Fig. 1.
1. Click on the Instance Manager tab.
2. Specify a unique instance name. In this example we are going to use “Paris, France – Server
Room”. Please note that certain characters are reserved (i.e. \ / * % | : " ? <> ) by the software
and are not available for use as a part of your Instance Name. If you attempt to use a reserved
character an error message is generated and the software will abort the addition of the new
instance.
3. Click on the ‘Add New Instance’ button.
Figure 11
After you see the message “Done - adding software instance…” you should notice that a short-
cut is created on your desktop and in your start menu. Follow the above procedure each time you
wish to monitor an additional SSD.
