IR LINK:
This menu option initiates a wireless communication session during which the currently stored
readings will be downloaded to a PC. Before using this feature, the target PC must be loaded with
Delmhorst Instrument Co’s Universal Application Program and a Delmhorst base unit must be
connected to an available USB port.
REQUIREMENTS:
The wireless communication technology employed in the meter requires line-of-sight access
between the red side window of the meter and the receiving window of the base unit. Simply
place the meter and base unit on a flat surface, with the red side window of the meter facing the
receiving window of the base unit. Separation requirements between the meter and base unit are
anywhere from 0 to 12 inches.
OPERATION:
1.
Begin by starting the Delmhorst Instrument Co.
Universal Application Program (double
click the application icon or choose the program from the Start Menu).
2.
Once the Navigator Pro and base unit
are lined up and the base unit is connected to a
USB port (a green LED should be lit), select the
IR LINK
option in the Main Menu. The meter
will display the message “
Linking
…” for a few seconds, followed by “Link OK” when
successful communication is established with the base unit. The base unit will also indicate
communication established by turning off the green LED and turning on a red LED.
3.
Press the “MANAGE DATA” button in the Delmhorst Instrument Co.
Universal
Application Program. The meter will display “
Data
” on the screen and the base unit will
alternately turn on a yellow and red LED while data transfer takes place (red indicates
communication between the meter and Base Unit, while yellow indicates communication
between the base unit and the PC). When finished, the meter will return to the Main Menu
and the base unit will, once again, turn on its green LED. For further details on managing the
meter data in the PC please refer to the HELP feature in the program.
NOTE:
The above sequence of events in initiating communication between the PC and the
meter is not mandatory. The Application Program may be started first, or the IR Link may be
selected first. The
MANAGE DATA
button may also be pressed before communication is
started between the Base Unit
and the meter. The meter, base unit and Application Program
all have ample delays built in to allow the other link components to come online in any
sequence.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE IR LINK:
Most problems tend to occur due to the positioning of the meter relative to the base unit. There
are a few error messages that may appear on the meter’s screen:
a.
Timeout
: This error message occurs when too much time has passed between data sent by
the meter and the response that should have been received from the base unit. Possible
causes:
Meter misalignment with the Base Unit (make sure the communication windows are
facing each other, within the distance indicated).
