Downloading a TRAX Apollyon Plus II
The TRAX Apollyon Plus II data is designed to be processed by the
TRAXPro software. Getting the data from the Apollyon Plus II to your
computer can be done in one of two ways. One, you can download the data
directly to your computer using the Apollyon Plus II's USB Download Port,
or two, via the Apollyon Plus II's USB Memory Port to a USB flash drive.
Direct USB Download to Computer
To download your data directly
to a computer, first plug a USB
cable into the USB Download
Port of the Apollyon Plus II,
then plug the other end into your computer. Turn the Apollyon Plus II on.
Note:
The first time you are connecting the Apollyon Plus II to a computer
using the USB port, you will need to install the drivers for it. Refer to the
Appendix for information on how to do this before proceeding. The USB
drivers create a virtual comm port that you will select in the TRAXPro
software.
On the TRAX itself, you must have either the Main Menu or the Count Status
screen visible to download data. If the Main Menu is visible, the download
will transfer all data currently stored in memory. If the Count Status screen
is visible, the download will transfer all counts stored in memory, but not
the count currently being done. If you have a count in progress that you
would like to download you must end the count, using one of the options
discussed on page 2-17.
Once your Apollyon Plus II is properly connected (and the drivers have
been installed), start the TRAXPro software and click on
Download Traffic
Recorder . The Download Traffic Recorder screen will then appear. Select
Download TRAX Counter and the TRAX download screen will appear.
The baud rate setting determines how fast the data will be transferred into
the program. Note that the TRAX Apollyon Plus II will automatically
sense whatever baud rate you select in the software. The higher the baud
rate, the faster your data will be downloaded.
Most computers can be set
for the highest setting, 115200, so select this. Once this is set, select the
comm port which was created by the USB driver. (Refer to the Appendix
