Transferring Data to a Personal Computer

Data that is collected and stored in the Meter's memory
can be downloaded to a personal computer (PC) using
the included FlukeView Forms Documenting Software
and USB cable. See Figure 3 to locate the USB port on
the Meter. To install the software, see the "FlukeView

The Meter cannot measure or log data while
the USB cable is connected.
Before the USB cable can be used with the
Meter, the Meter software drivers must be

the PC. (See Installation Guide).

USB port on the PC.
