Flowtron ACS900 Service Manual CHAPTER 6 SERVICE SOFTWARE Introduction This section describes the software used to service the Flowtron ACS900 pump. Two different programmes are available: TAPP Communicator The Therapy and Prevention Products (TAPP) programme sets up two way communications between the PC and the pump.
Flowtron ACS900 Service Manual Service Software Connecting the Pump to a PC The connection between the pump and the PC (laptop or desktop) is made via the USB port on the rear of the pump. A standard USB Type A-Mini B cable is used for connection, which is available as a service part.
Service Software Flowtron ACS900 Service Manual Installing Device Drivers Note: Although the TAPP applications can be installed at any time, the pump’s device drivers can only be installed when the pump is connected to the PC. Driver installation requires that you have administrator privileges.
Flowtron ACS900 Service Manual Service Software Installing TAPP Communicator Insert the TAPP Communicator disc into the CD/DVD ROM drive of the PC. Click on My Computer and navigate to the CD/DVD disc. Figure 46 - Files on the TAPP Communicator Disc Locate the INSTALL TAPP Communicator file and double click it.
Service Software Flowtron ACS900 Service Manual Setting up the TAPP Communicator Software The set-up routine installs the software in a folder called TAPP Communicator. This can be accessed from the PC’s Start menu. Locate the TAPP Communicator programme by clicking on Start, All Programs, TAPP Communicator.
