2.2 BTL CardioPoint Installation
There are two types of the BTL CardioPoint installation – Local or Network – depending
on intended use of BTL CardioPoint and need of data sharing.

• Local installation – single PC with no data sharing.

• Network installation – PCs which are used in the BTL CardioPoint network.
o Network installation of Main PC – PC which works as a server in the
BTL CardioPoint network, contains Database and CDS and is accessible at
all times.
o Network installation of Next PC – PC which accesses Database and CDS
on the Main PC.

Local installation is used for a medical facility with one PC where data are not needed to
be shared. Recording, evaluating and storing of data is performed on one PC. All data
storages - User edited folder, CDS and Database are present there. Local installation uses
SQLite Database.

2-4 590-82ServiceManualEN100
 Installation

Network installation involves multiple PCs in a medical facility where the data are
shared among the PCs. In Network installation, there are two types of the stations –
Main PC and Next PC.

Main PC acts as a server in the BTL CardioPoint network and therefore has to be
accessible for all PCs in the BTL CardioPoint network at all times. Main PC contains all
data storages – User edited folder, CDS and Database. CDS may be located in Main PC or
in the dedicated server which is archived regularly and has larger data capacity. Main PC
can be used for recording and common work with the examination as well.

Next PC contains only User edited folder and accesses Database and CDS on Main PC.
Next PC is therefore used only for recording and evaluating of the data.

or MySQL) is installed in PC. Go to folder

64-bit OS “C:\Program Files (x86)\BTL”

32-bit OS “C:\Program Files\BTL”
In the BTL folder there is either SQLiteServer folder (SQLite database - Local installation)
or MySqlServer folder (MySQL database - Network installation).

• In case MySQL database is installed, the PC is ready to be used as Main PC in the

BTL CardioPoint network with other PCs and the database do not need to be
migrated.
o To connect Next PCs, export connection string (see subsection
9.2.5 Export of Connection String).
• In case SQLite database is installed, continue step by step according to the
following subsections.

9.2.2 Share of Examination Data (Optional)

At the beginning of the database migration, it is recommended to share all examination
data in case of any failure during the migration process.

To share all examination data, follow the instructions given in subsection

5.5.2 Sharing Examinations. The sharing process may take some time depending on the
number of the records in database.

9-6 590-82ServiceManualEN100
9.2.3 Database Migration
