1. Download the Sailfish install file from the AML website and follow the on-screen
installation instructions. Sailfish is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11.
a. Note: be sure to enable both private and public network access if prompted
during installation.
2. Turn the instrument on using the power switch. When the switch is set to the 'on' position
the instrument will commence its bootup sequence, indicated by an alternating colour
pattern on the status indicator LED. The boot sequence is complete when the status
LED is green. Typical boot duration is about 10 seconds.
3. Start Sailfish and wait for the software to load. When loaded, navigate to the Devices
tab.
4. If you open Sailfish before connecting your instrument, you will need to click on the
'Refresh' button for your instrument to appear.
5. Connect the instrument to the PC via WiFi (preferred) or the included USB-C cable. If
using the USB-C connector, the user's PC may produce the default USB-device
connection chime when recognition and setup is successful.
a. Note that if using the USB-C connection, the instrument may commence
charging its internal battery. The instrument is equipped with fast-charge
capabilities so it may become warm during this time.
b. 6000m AML-3 LGR instruments do not have WiFi; connection must be done via
USB-C.
6. A tile corresponding to available instrument connections will appear in the Devices tab of
Sailfish. A small icon in the corner of the tiles denotes the corresponding connection
method. Either WiFi or USB-C may be selected.
a. Note: If connection difficulties are encountered, restart the PC. This solves the
majority of connection issues.
7. Select the appropriate tile and click 'Connect'.
8. Click the gear icon on the instrument tile to open the Instrument Settings page. Follow
the on-screen instructions to configure the instrument as desired.
