Network via IRD Server
An IRD server allows you to connect your computer to instruments on different
networks. You must first connect the instrument to a network that can access
the internet. Consult your network administrator if you need assistance with this.
When this connection is established, open the PEL Control Panel and do the
following:
1. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select Instrument.
2. In the drop-down menu that appears, click the option Add an Instrument.
3. Select IRD server as the connection type, and complete the Add and
Instrument dialog. If you need assistance, press the Help button.
4. A screen appears informing you that the instrument has been successfully
connected with the computer. Click Close to exit the screen.
5. Open the PEL Control Panel. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select
Instrument.
6. In the drop-down menu that appears, click the option Add an Instrument. This
opens the Add an Instrument Wizard dialog box.
7. Select Bluetooth as the connection type, and complete the Add and
Instrument dialog. If you need assistance, press the Help button.
Installing the SD-Card
Data recording sessions are stored in the included 8 GB SD card, which also
accepts FAT32 SDHC cards up to 32 GB capacity. If the SD card is unformatted,
you will need to format it before use. Formatting can be done through a Microsoft
Windows command or through the DataView
®
PEL Control Panel.
To install the SD card:
1. Locate the card slot on the front panel.
2. Ensure that the write-protect sliding tab on the card is in the “unlock” position
(towards the metal contacts).
3. Insert the SD card into the slot, with the metal contacts facing up (towards the
top of the instrument).
4. Press the SD card into the slot until it clicks in place.
5. Press the attached cap into the card slot to ensure water resistance.
6. If the SD Card is not formatted, the
LED glows red. To format the
installed card, open the PEL Control Panel. Click Instrument in the menu bar
and select Configure. Then click Format SD-Card in the General tab of the
Configure Instrument dialog box, and click Yes to confirm.
7. When the card is installed and ready for use, the
LED glows steady
green. To remove a card, press down on it until the card unclicks. It will pop
up, allowing you to pull it from the slot.
