PC Interface and Datalogging Software
Introduction
With the Meter connected to a PC, measurements can be viewed on the computer
screen as they are taken. Graphical (scope) as well as numerical (DMM) data can be
viewed. Measurement data can then be stored in a file and/or printed. Data files can be
opened in spreadsheets as ‘text files’ if desired. The PC interface also allows the meter
to be remotely controlled using the on-screen virtual push-buttons.
Connecting the Meter to a PC
Connect the meter to the PC using the supplied communication cable. The TRS
(tip/ring/sleeve phono plug) end of the cable connects to the meter (top) and the 9-pin
end connects to the PC serial port.
Installing the Supplied Datalogging Software
Install the software by placing the supplied diskette in the PC floppy drive. Run the
SETUP.EXE file from the list of files on the diskette. Follow the on-screen instructions for
installation. The supplied software should be installed on the PC hard drive first and the
program should be launched from the version on the hard drive. Do not run the software
program straight from the supplied disk.
