The 824 Utility software is a powerful tool for use with the

you to control, setup, download and translate your 824 mea-
surement data quickly and easily.
The 824 Utility program has three sections that perform the
functions on the 824.
• The setup section provides support for creating, editing,
storing and retrieving setups from the 824 and from files.
• The download section provides a means by which to
retrieve the measurement data from the 824.
• The translate section provides support for translating the
downloaded measurement data, and displaying or print-
ing it in a text format, or exporting the measurement data
to a spreadsheet program.
In this chapter we will discuss installing the software, get-

824 to the serial port of your computer, explain the Main
Screen Toolbar functions, and then go onto discuss each of
the three functions of the software in greater depth.
