7 Run the software, connect and take a sweep. Look for
c:\mydata.txt. You can look at it with a text editor or import
it into a spreadsheet.
Tip: This program will grab data even if sweep is triggered from
front panel. Run the software, and then connect. Go to the
PDLA front panel and click Local, then take a sweep. You will
see the update messages appear on our application, and the
application will detect end-of-sweep and transfer the data.
8 Exit the application when done.
