BlueDAQ Software Installation 

(Compatible with BSC4D)

 

 

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.
