Getting Started
Start An Application
To start an application, double-click the appropriate icon on the Desktop of your
computer, or select it from its program location on your computer (for example,
through the
Start
menu).
NOTE. An application will not launch unless the instrument is connected to the
computer.
If you are using multiple instruments, you must open a new instance of the
application software for each instrument. Each instance of the software identi
fi es

address in the software window title bar.
To identify which instrument corresponds to which software window, compare
the serial number displayed in the software to the serial number stamped on the
instrument body below the USB port. Or, click
Sensor ID in the application,
which causes the instrument LED to blink four times.
