SIMULTANEOUS OPERATION WITH DESKTOP
There are many advantages to being able to
connect the PAA3 with your desktop computer
or notebook. It allows remote operation of the
PAA3, for one, which is particularly useful when
taking measurements in areas that require
an absense of any individuals. It also allows
users to to save and print data stored in the
PAA3's memory.
The PAA3 software, supported by Windows
98 and above, can be found on the included
CD (which, incidently, also contains 26 testing
signals). With this program, most functions are
easily accessible through a menu identical to
that of the PAA3 device itself.
ATTENTION: When operating the PAA3
through a PC, it is recommended that you
make use of the power adapter instead of
batteries. Also, choose an optimal position for
the PAA3 to be placed before controlling the
