Abstract: Disclosed is a method for automatic installation and setting up of an instrument (1), comprising the steps of: connecting (S1) the instrument (1) to a service software system (15) in a network (19) via a first communication interface (6); sending (S3) identification information (5) of the instrument (1) from the instrument to the service software system (15) via the first communication interface (6); recognizing (S5) in the service software system (15) at least one characteristic of the instrument (1) by analyzing the identification information (5); based on said at least one characteristic or identification information, creating (S7) by the service software system (15) dedicated high level control software (25) comprising parts of the control software needed for the instrument; based on said at least one characteristic or identification information, sending (S9) to the instrument (1) from the service software system (15) software to enable a second communication interface (16), and low level control software components needed for local control of the instrument, installing (S11) and configuring in the instrument the low level control software components received from the service software system; starting (S13) a built-in control software (9) in the instrument; using the (S15) the built-in control software in the instrument to access the high level control software dedicated for the instrument via the first, or a second communication interface (16), said built-in control software using the low level control software to monitor and control the instrument.
