10. Communication Function (Including Software)

The tester can be connected with a PC via the dedicated USB cable, as shown in Picture 23.    

    Download the corresponding PC software from the official website of Uni-Trend (refer to UNI-T Documents 
    Download Operation Guide), and install it according to the installation instructions.
    Support Windows Vista, Win 7 or above system.
    Use the USB cable to connect the tester with the PC. Short press the USB button on the tester and the 
    “USB” symbol will appear in the upper left corner of the LCD. The data of the tester is available for USB 
    communication now.
    Run the PC software and click on the "Connect" option. Then the PC is available for USB communication 
    and the data of the tester will be displayed on the PC in real time.
    Upload the data of the tester to the PC for saving, printing, analysis and other operation.
    Data of the PC cannot be transmitted to the tester.

11. Use of Power Adapter

The power adapter operates at 220V/50Hz and has an output current of 1A. The tester can function properly 
with the power adapter but cannot be charged. When the power adapter is enabled, power supply will be 
automatically switched to the power adapter with battery power disconnected. Connection method of the power 
adapter is shown in Picture 24.

       Note: The power adapter is specially designed for UT516B. It cannot be replaced by other power adapters 
as this may damage the tester or cause inaccurate measurement.
