Tools Menu
The Timeout setting controls the amount of time the dock will wait for a
response from the instrument. If this time is exceeded, the command will
time out and the test will fail. Options are in 5-second increments from 5
to 30 seconds. To change the setting, click on the arrow to the right of the
timeout setting to access the list and select the new setting.
The Calibration Due Reminder setting controls the amount of time that needs
to pass without a successful calibration before the IQ Force will remind
you that calibration is due. The reminder can be set to any whole number
between 1 and 180 days. To disable the calibration due reminder, change
the setting to “0”. To change the setting, click on the arrow to the right of the
timeout setting to access the list and select the new setting.
The checkbox to the left of “Upgrade Instrument” controls automatic IQ Force
firmware updates by the IQ Force dock whenever an IQ Force is placed in
the dock. Click on the box to enable the automatic updates.

drive under Program Files.
