10-5 Controlling the measurement using a personal computer

(In case of the graphing software

“

RsVisco”)

1 Refer to “6. MEASUREMENT”, prepare the measurement.

2 Start the graphing software

“

RsVisco”.

3 Confirm that the COM port of the

“

RsVisco” is set properly.

4 Click the START button of the

“

RsVisco” to start the measurement.

5 If you want to finish the measurement, click the START button of the

“

RsVisco”.

* For details on how to use the software, refer to the file “Readme” that is installed in a personal

computer after the CD-ROM set up.
