7.2 Basic Operation
The following steps
must
be carried out before communication with the 525 may take place:
Ensure that the proper drivers have already been installed on the remote computer. These drivers will
need to be installed for the remote computer to interface to the 525
. Reference the “525 Setup
USB”
section for more information on installing the proper drivers.
Open the 525 application by double clicking on the application which can be found on the included CD.
Once the 525 application recognizes the COM Port the 525 is attached to, a connection will be
established, and communication may now be carried out.
