BlueDAQ Software Installation 

 

1. 

Please follow these instructions carefully.

 

DO NOT

 connect the amplifier to the PC until instructed to do so. The 

BlueDAQ PC software is included on a USB Flash Drive with the amplifier or can be downloaded from 

www.interfaceforce.com

 

 

2.  Install the software by double-

clicking the “setup.exe” file located in the BlueDAQ folder. You may need to “Extract” 

the contents of the folder first if you downloaded it from the website. Follow the instructions for installation. Once the 
software completes installation you 

MUST

 restart your computer. 

 

 

3.  Attach the amplifier to the PC using the supplied USB A-B cable. BSC4, BSC8 and BX8 drivers were installed with the 

BlueDAQ software and Windows will automatically load them. BSC8D/BX8 must be powered ON using supplied 
power cable and power switch. 9330 drivers must be installed as described below.

 

 
4. 

When the device is connected in 

Communication mode

 for the first time, Windows will ask for a driver directory. The 

installation process is described below. The driver is located on the USB Flash drive supplied with the 9330. The 
Flash drive 

MUST

 be connected to the PC or the files copied to the PC before connecting the 9330 to the PC. 

 

 
5. 

Enable USB Communication mode. To do this, click the MODE button of the measuring amplifier and select 
USBmode: Comm in the logger menu.

 

 
6. 

Now you can connect your 9330 to the PC via USB cable. Once connected the driver installation window appears. 
Select “Install software from a list or specific source (advanced users)” and Click “Next >”.

from the supplied USB drive and Click “Continue >”
