Download Mech-DLK SDK Installation Package

You can download the Mech-DLK SDK software installation package from Mech-Mind Download Center or contact Mech-Mind pre-sales or support engineers to get the installation package.

Install the Software

Verify the Integrity of Installation Package

Since the software installation package may be corrupted during transmission or downloading, you need to verify the integrity of the software installation package. The integrity of the installation package can be verified with the CRC-32 value, which is provided on the download page.

Install and use the 7-Zip software to calculate the CRC-32 value.

To verify the integrity of the software installation package, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the installation package to a specified directory on the IPC or PC, such as D:\.

  2. Unzip the installation package. After decompression, the following items will appear: the software installation file (Mech-DLK SDK Installer 3.0.0.exe) and the content folder.

    Do not move the software installation package and the content folder after decompression.

  3. Open 7-Zip and use the address bar to navigate to the directory where the software installation package is located.

  4. After selecting the software installation package, select File  CRC  CRC-32 in the menu bar to calculate the CRC-32 value.

  5. Check the calculated CRC32 value against the one on the download page. The two values should be identical.

  6. Repeat Steps 3–5 for the decompressed software installation file and the content folder.

    If the calculated values do not match those provided on the download page, download the installation package again.
