Using Communications (187 and 189)

link, refer to the FlukeView Forms Installation Guide or the
on-line help.
You can use the IR communication link and FlukeView
Forms software to transfer the contents of a meters
memory to a PC.
Note
The 187 and 189 will log in real time mode to a
connected computer running FlukeView Forms.
In addition, the 189 allows the user to log to

FlukeView Forms allows you to place the data into
standard (default) or customized forms. The forms can
display the data in table and graph form, as well as view
user comments. You can use these forms to satisfy ISO-
9000 and other documentation requirements.
