In October 2014 Oroboros Instruments released DatLab 6 featuring inter alia extended support for MultiSensor Application, a new and flexible interface for exporting results to spreadsheet programs (e.g. Excel) and features supporting Power-O2k users with multiple O2ks in one laboratory. Please consult the DatLab Guide for a comprehensive description. For DatLab 5 users the O2k Core Manual for DatLab 5 is still available.

Installing DatLab 6
Get DatLab 6
- From www.oroboros.at: The Login provides you with the possibility to download DatLab 6. If you need a login code please contact our administration [email protected].
- From the OROBOROS USB-Stick: Install the file "DL6Install.exe".
Install DatLab 6 for a single O2k
- Open the directory "OROBOROS O2k-Course on HRR" on the OROBOROS USB-Stick and open the filefinder and click on "DatLab Install" to start the installation.
- You may be asked to permit the installation by the Windows operating system.
- C:\DatLab will be suggested as installation directory. Usually this will be also be the directory used by DatLab5 and you can accept the suggestion.
- Select "type of installation" = "typical" this will keep your instrument specific setting (chamber labels, calibration parameters) but may overwrite some layouts.
- If desired, select the additional tasks that should be done during setup, i.e. crating a desktop icon, start menu entires or a file association (which allows to open DatLab files by double clicking them).
Install DatLab 6 for two or more O2ks on one computer
- Install two (or more) copies of DatLab in two (or more) different directories, e.g. DatLab_O2k1 and DatLab_O2k2.
- Create two or more shortcuts to the different .exe files. (the .exe files do not have to be renamed because they are in different directories). With this method you also have cleanly separated .ini files in the different directories.
- Assign different Power O2k numbers (see MiPNet19.18A_O2k-Start) and activate Graph/Display Power-O2k (see MiPNet19.18C_DatLab_Guide to easily distinguish the two DatLab windows on-screen, see
Upgrading from DatLab 5 to DatLab 6
- DatLab 5 can be installed over DatLab 4 (recommended option). In this case all DatLab files will be kept, but some layouts may be overwritten.
- During the first start of DatLab 6 the information in any Datlab5.ini file in the same directory will be copied to Datlab6.ini, then Datlab5.ini will be deleted together with DatLab5.exe. The new executable file will be Datlab6.exe.
If for some reason you want to use DatLab 5 and DatLab 6 on the same computer they have to be installed in two different directories.
- The nomenclature of some default graph layouts has changed. We recommend users upgrading from DatLab 5 to DatLab 6 to clean up their Graph layouts after installing DatLab 6. In particular the following graph layouts may be removed: ....
Compatibility with DatLab 5
DatLab 6 is downwards compatible with DatLab 5: DatLab 6 can read all files generated by DatLab 4. DatLab 5 is upwards compatible with 6 in regards to basic data storage. However, new features in DatLab 6 may cause problems e.g. in Marks Statistics. We therefore do not recommend to open files created with DatLab 6 in DatLab 5.
Compatibility with DatLab 4
DatLab 6 is downwards compatible with DatLab 4: DatLab 6 can read all files generated by DatLab 4. However, DatLab 6 will save these files always in the DatLab 5/6 format. Afterwards, these files will no longer be readable by DatLab 4. Therefore, we recommend doing a complete transition from DatLab 4 to DatLab 6, upgrading all computers. However, there is no need to mass convert the old DatLab 4 files. They can stay in the DatLab 4 format and will be converted by DatLab 6 when necessary.
