Running PC/View

To start the PC/View system, turn the Acoustic Inter-
face Module power switch ON. Then run PC/View
by clicking on the Windows Start Bar. Select Pro-
grams and PCView, then click on the PCView icon.
Alternatively you can click on the Windows Start
Bar, select Run... and type in the path and name of
the PC/View program (C:\Program
Files\Interphase\PCView\PCView.exe).
Each time you run PC/View, you will be prompted to
agree with the Warranty Terms and acknowledge
that you have read the Navigation Warning. After
you have read this agreement once, the appearance of
the box will serve as a reminder of the limitations of
navigation aids. Use the scroll bar to move through
the text then click on the I Agree button to run PC/
View.
If all components have been installed and all cables
are connected, and the Acoustic Interface Module is
on, PC/View will immediately begin to collect and
display data. Take the following steps to adjust PC/
View for basic operation:
