3-1-2 Utility Software

You can check the status of this unit, and
change settings, by installing the utility
software on a computer connected to this
unit, and carrying out the operations on the
computer (see Chapter 5, "Using the Utility
Software" (page 46)).
To install the utility software, insert the
supplied CD-ROM (PDW-D1 PC Utility)
in the computer's CD-ROM drive, and copy
all of the following files from the
PC_Utility folder of the CD-ROM to an
appropriate folder on the computer:

• FAM_API.dll
• PC_Utility.chm
For the operating environment required for the
utility software, see page 24.
Note
The utility software operates using the
FAM (file access mode) protocol, and
therefore requires the FAM driver to be
installed in the computer (see previous
item).
