Step 4. 

Now plug the Analyzer into any one of the PC USB ports. 

 

Step 5.          On the PC, go to desktop display and look for            icon. 
 

Left click on this icon to open the program and the display page

Step 6. 

Now press the communication key 

  on the Analyzer to log 

onto the computer; To confirm whether there is communication; 
click on [Get Data From Analyser] tab and the Last Test Result 
will appear. See example below: 

 

 
 
 
   

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
                                                                             
 

 
If there is no communication, a message text box will appear 
(see below).     

 
 
 

Click here to put your Company 
name and address. 

Click here to select your 
preferred language from the 
list of languages shown. 

It will automatically 
detect the COM Port. 
If you find that this field 
is blank, close the 
program, unplug the 
analyzer cable and 
then plug back again. 
Repeat Step 5 to open 
the program.    The 
COM Port(s) will now 
appear in the drop 
down menu. 

 

You can type in 
the particulars 
here and then 
click [Add to Test 
Report] tab to be
