To launch the IQ Force dock desktop application, click on the IQ Force dock 

icon on your PC’s desktop. 

NOTE

The Database Manager must be launched prior to launching 
the IQ Force dock Software to establish a database before 
the application will start normally.

The application may also be launched by accessing the program through 

the start button and selecting Programs/Honeywell/ IQ Pro/IQ Force/IQ Force 

(unless another location was specified during the installation).

The following screen will be shown once the application is launched.

The screen is divided into right and left sides. The left side gives the status 

of the docks that are currently installed and recognized. At the top of the right 

side of the screen there is a tab for each dock that is currently installed and 

recognized. Within each dock tab are two sub-tabs: one for dock controls 

and one that shows the calibration status and details for the instrument that 

is currently in the dock or the last instrument tested.
