Introduction & Parts Identification
The AE51 Auto Flow Calibration software communicates with both the microAeth
and the external flowmeter included with the AethLabs Flow Calibration Kit.
In order to communicate with microAeth AE51, specific USB drivers are required. If you
have already installed the microAethCOM software for configuring and communicating
with the AE51, then these USB drivers are already installed on your computer. If this
is the first time using the microAeth AE51 with your computer then first install the
microAethCOM software.
Carefully unpack the flowmeter assembly and accessories:
