12.1 TRANSFERRING DATA AND SETTINGS
12.1.1 Data port
The data port socket (LEMO type) is located behind the bottom end cap of the
gauge. It is designed to connect directly from the gauge to a standard AT serial
port on a PC. The cable supplied with the gauge is a LEMO to 9 pin serial cable.
12.1.2 Computer System Requirements
NDT Link will run on many different operating systems: Windows 98 (1st or 2nd
edition), Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5, Windows ME, Windows XP,
Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2000
Advanced Server operating systems running on Intel or AMD hardware.
A Pentium 166MHz or faster processor with at least 32 megabytes of physical
RAM is required. You should have 40 megabytes of free disk space before attempting to install
NDT Link.
NDT Link requires an available communications port in order to transfer data to and from the gauge.
NDT Link supports COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4.
12.1.3 USB to Serial Converter
Some newer laptop computers do not have standard serial ports. In this case it is possible to use a
USB to Serial converter. If a serial to USB cable is needed, contact Elcometer (part number:
TL-24032).
12.1.4 Installing NDT Link
NDT Link comes on a CD-ROM with an automatic installer program. Place the CD in your
computer's CD tray and close the door. Open the CD-ROM by double clicking on the My Computer
ICON, then double click on the CD. Finally, double click on the SETUP icon to begin the installation.
Refer to the help section in NDT Link software for the complete operating manual, setup, and

13 STORAGE

Your gauge has a Liquid Crystal Display. If the display is heated above 50°C (120°F) it
may be damaged. This can happen if the gauge is left in a car parked in strong sunlight.
Always store the gauge in its case when it is not being used.
If the gauge is to remain unused for long periods of time, remove the batteries and store
them separately. This will prevent damage to the gauge in the event of malfunction of
the batteries.
