Install the "Multichannel  frequency comparator " program and the program for 

processing measurements of frequency comparators following the instructions given in 

the  "Multichannel  frequency  comparator  VCH-315M  User  Guide"  and  "Program  for 

processing  measurement  data  of  frequency  comparators/counters  "Analyser"  User 

Guide". 

Before  using  the  USB  interface  of  the  device  install  a  PC  driver  that  creates  a 

virtual  serial  port  when  connecting  the  comparator  via  the  USB  interface,  following 

the instructions in the "Multichannel frequency comparator VCH-315M. User guide". 

To control the device via the Ethernet install the special software, following the 

instructions in the "Multichannel frequency comparator VCH-315M. User guide".
