Software download

The latest version of the TQ VDAS® software can be downloaded here (VDAS requires Windows XP or Vista):

Minimal Installer (4,847 KB) – suitable for installation on Windows Vista, requires Internet access when installing on Windows XP.

Complete Installer (25,396 KB) – suitable for installation on Windows XP where Internet access is not available.

When the ‘Minimal Installer’ is run, if required, it will download the following Microsoft technologies from the TQ website (these are included with Windows Vista and so will not be downloaded):

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Microsoft Windows Installer 3.0

A connection to the internet is therefore required when running the ‘Minimal Installer’ on Windows XP.

Version 1.0.20 (March 2008) includes the software for the following TQ teaching equipment:
