Users Manual

Memory and PC

This section provides a step-by-step introduction to the general functions of the test tool that can
be used in the three main modes: Scope, Meter, or Recorder. You will find information on
computer communication at the end of this section.

USB Ports

The test tool is provided with two USB ports:

•

USB-host port to connect an external flash memory drive (USB-stick) for data storage. The
maximum memory size is 32 GB.

•

Mini-USB-B port to connect the test tool to a PC for remote control and data transfer under
PC-control, see

FlukeView™ 2 Software

The USB-host port is also used with the optional WiFi-USB Adapter as a wireless connection to a
PC that has FlukeView 2 software installed. See

WiFi Connection

The ports are fully isolated from the input channels and have a dust cover when not in use. See
