The executables are located in these folders:

• VIOSO 6: C:\Program Files\VIOSO6\SPCalibrator64.exe

• VIOSO 6 Blackbox (for SIM applications): Standard build: C:\Program Files\VIOSO6\Blackbox64.exe Build with Datapath Vision Support: C:\Program Files\VIOSO6\BlackboxVRGB64.exe

You can also start the application from the Windows Start Menu: All Programs / VIOSO6
