• Backup: Export or save any existing configuration if updating from an older installation.

1. Download installer

1. Locate the official installer file for TrafficProgrammer Standard Edition (choose the latest stable build).
2. Save the installer to a known folder (e.g., Downloads).

2. Prepare the system

1. Close other applications, especially traffic-control or device-management tools.
2. Temporarily disable antivirus if it blocks the installer (re-enable after installation).

3. Run the installer

1. Right-click the installer and choose Run as administrator.
2. Follow on-screen prompts:
   • Accept license agreement.
   • Choose installation folder (default is usually fine).
   • Select components (Core application + optional drivers/tools).
3. Click Install and wait for completion.

4. Install device drivers (if applicable)

1. If the software communicates with controllers via USB/serial, install the provided drivers when prompted.
2. If Windows warns about unsigned drivers, confirm installation if drivers are from a trusted source.
3. Reboot the PC if the driver installer requests it.

5. First launch and activation

1. Launch TrafficProgrammer Standard Edition from the Start menu.
2. Enter license key or sign in if activation is required.
3. If offered, allow the software to check for updates and install them.

6. Configure communication and devices

1. Open the communication or device settings.
2. Select the correct port (COM/USB) and communication parameters (baud rate, parity) matching your controller.
3. Test connection to confirm communication is working.

7. Import or create project

1. Import an existing project file or create a new project.
2. Verify intersections, timings, and controller mappings.
3. Save the project.

8. Test deployment

1. Use a test mode or simulation (if available) to validate timing and plans.
2. Upload configuration to a test controller or device.
3. Monitor logs for errors and resolve any communication or configuration issues.

9. Post-install checks

• Confirm automatic updates are configured (optional).
• Re-enable antivirus and ensure the application is added to any firewall exceptions.
• Document installed version and license details for future reference.

Troubleshooting (quick)

• Installation fails: run installer as admin, check disk space, review installer logs.
• Driver not recognized: try reinstalling driver, use a different USB cable/port, check Device Manager.
• Activation error: verify license key and internet connection; contact vendor support.
