14.3 Communicating with the DFX-7
DakView
will not directly communicate with the
DFX-7
series gauges. The
DFX-7
is
equipped with USB, acting as a Thumb Drive (external storage device) when
connected to a computer and powered on. Therefore, the SD memory card can be
opened as a drive with
directory structure, similar to the C: on your computer. The
files stored on the internal S
D can be simply copied (dragged) into any folder on your
PC and opened using
DakView
. The PC software will function as a file viewer for the
DFX-7
series gauges.
