Before you can use PV Applications Manager, you must use the following procedures to
establish a link between your Pocket Viewer and computer.
To establish a link between Pocket Viewer and your computer
1. Connect the Pocket Viewer cradle cable to the serial port (RS-232C) of your computer.
• If the cable's connector does not fit into your computer's serial port, you need to
purchase an adapter. See the documentation that comes with your computer for
details.
2. Place the Pocket Viewer onto the cradle.
• See "Using the Cradle" in your Pocket Viewer User's Guide for more information.
3. On your computer, double click the PVM.EXE file to start up PV Applications Manager.
• Double-click the PVM.EXE file.
4. On the PV Applications Manager Comm Setup menu, click Comm Port, and then
select the serial port where the cradle is connected.
• To set the data communication speed, click Comm Setup and then Speed. Next,
select the speed you want on the sub-menu that appears. The initial default setting
is 38400 bps.
• Setting a higher speed makes data transfer between your computer and PV Unit
faster, but it also can increase the possibility of communication errors with some
computers. Experiment with different speeds until you find the one that works best
for you.
