Installing TraceLab

TraceLab can be downloaded from the TraceLab download page on the CoEST website. Instructions about details for installation can be found here. If needed, you may be required to create a free account in order to download TraceLab and your TraceLab key file. Follow the instructions of the installer, then download your unique TraceLab key and place it in your [USER_FOLDER]/Documents/TraceLab directory.

Additionally, these experiments require the new TraceLab Component Library. Download and unzip the file below. Once downloaded, copy the DLLs in the Components directory to your TraceLab components directory (typically [USER_FOLDER]/Documents/TraceLab/Components). Do the same for the DLLs in the Types directory, copying them to your TraceLab types directory.
