8 USING THE K-METRON'S PC SOFTWARE

8.1 Connecting the K-METRON to the PC & Installing the
Communications Driver.
Connect the K-METRON receiver unit to the PC using the attached USB flying lead. Allow
Windows to automatically connect to the internet for the latest communication driver. It
will do this automatically upon plugging in the USB flying lead.

8.2 Downloading the K-METRON Software.

Download and install the K-METRON software from the link supplied by 493K. If you do not
have this link it can be found at www.493k.com under the Software heading.

8.3 Setting the Correct Communications Port.

Ensure that the K-METRON software is set to look at the correct communications port that
has been assigned by Windows for the receiver hardware (when the radio receiver was
connected and the driver installed, Windows will have auto-assigned this number).
To determine the communication port number that Windows has assigned go to:
• Windows Control Panel
• Device Manager
• Under Ports (COM & LPT) the USB Serial Port will show the COM number that has
been allocated by Windows e.g.
(in this case Windows has assigned the COM number 18)
