Software Initialisation
When the main interface is run, the software will start by attempting to find the attached
CableData Collector device. During this process, the window shown in Figure 21 will be
present. The window will close once the instrument has been found.

This should take no more than 5 seconds. If there is a problem detecting the instrument, a
warning message will appear as shown in Figure 22. This error should only occur if the unit
is not connected correctly. In such case, please check that the USB cable is securely
connected, and click Yes. On some laptops, not all of the USB ports will function correctly,
so it is advisable to attempt connecting the CableData Collector to a different USB port if this
error occurs. If the error message persists and the cable and laptop have been ruled out as
the source of the problem, then please contact EA Technology for further assistance. The
CableData Collector must not be connected through a USB hub as this may cause
intermittent errors during data capture.
