4. Networking with the
RheoVac 950
: If all of the items above are completed successfully, the
UIC or LAN computer should be able to network with the
RheoVac
950. To search for the
RheoVac
950 from the UIC or LAN computer:
a. Open My Computer.
b. Each
RheoVac
instrument is identified by a unique Network ID. The ID is “R” plus the
first five digits of the serial number found on the unit. (
RheoVac
Model 950 devices
purchased prior to August, 2003 will use the Network ID “RheoVac 950.”)
c. Look for the Network ID of your
RheoVac
950. If the expected Network ID (see previous
paragraph) does not show up in the list, then type in the appropriate Address line (either
‘\\RHEOVAC 950’ or ‘\\’ and the first five digits of the serial number) and click the
Go
button. This may take several seconds and then a RHEOVAC folder will appear, which
is the hard drive of the
RheoVac
950.
d. Open the
RHEOVAC
folder and then open the DATA folder. The \\
Network ID
\
RHEOVAC\DATA folder contains all the stored data. Use copy/paste functions (copy -
Ctrl C; paste - Ctrl V) to save the data files to the UIC or LAN computer.
