Transferring Data from the vLoc-5000 to a Computer
To transfer data from the vLoc-5000 receiver to a computer requires the use of a simple free of charge
software package MyLocator2. It can be downloaded from the Vivax-Metrotech web site
www.vivax-
metrotech.com
.
4.4 MyLocator2
MyLocator2 configuration tool is a software package that enables the operator to configure the vLoc-5000 of
locators. The software is compatible with Window XP, Vista and 7. To install, use the link on the Vivax-
Metrotech web site and follow the installation instructions. A MyLocator2 shortcut icon will appear on your
desktop. MyLocator2 is also used to transfer data from the locator to a host computer.
MyLocator2 is under continual development so the following is a guide to its operation but there may be
subtle changes to screens etc. However, the guide should still give sufficient information for the user to
navigate MyLocator2.
4.4.1
Launch the Application
To launch MyLocator2, double click on the MyLocator2shortcut icon. If the host computer is connected to the
web, it will check to see if MyLocator2 is the latest version. If it is not, it will ask if you wish to install the latest
version. Follow the instructions if you wish to install the new version.
MyLocator2 can be operated on different levels. Each level enables different features and functionality. Some
levels require a dongle to operate. Dongles are available from Vivax-Metrotech.
In its basic form it allows the operator to:
Check the software revision number and download the latest version. This feature is useful where
software changes have been made to enhance existing features and to install new free of charge
features as they become available.
Upload data files. Files that have been saved in the equipment such as location/GPS data can be
transferred to a PC using MyLocator2.
Adding flash screens: The user can add pictures or company logo’s of his choice to the startup screen.
