Connect instrument to a power source using the power supply. Turn on the instrument using the

2. To connect the instrument to a PC:

Ensure that you first have administrator rights for installing the software and connecting the

by the instrument. If you are unsure which COM port is being used, please disconnect and
connect the USB cable and observe which COM port reappears after re-connecting to the PC.
Please Note: The instrument cannot connect to the PC if a COM port higher that 9 is used. If this
is the case please use the supplied COM port reassignment utility to reassign the COM port to
any unused port from 1-9.
