The DW Force EC probe software will acquire a red reflectance, IR reflectance, EC, and
force measurement for every 2cm the probe is inserted. Before opening software, turn
on power to the OpticMapper EC Surveyor Controller and connect via serial cable to the

Figure 1
Once a file is selected the software will search for connectivity with the instrument.
After the connection is established the Port light will turn green. If no connection is
made, the light will remain red. If no green light is given, check for 12V to the
instrument and ensure the serial or USB to serial cable is connected or if using a model
2018 controller and the Bluetooth connection, ensure it is properly paired via procedure
#1. If a connection can still not be established, then unplug the serial or USB to serial
cable, shut down power to the instrument, and restart the software. If no connection is
made still, then unplug the serial or USB to serial cable and restart the computer. Once
the computer is back up, plug in the serial or USB to serial cable and open the software
again.
