2.8. Telemetry Setup
Before the AquaTelemetry unit will communicate, it must be programmed with some basic
information concerning authorised SMS numbers, email addresses and email server
details.
In order to program the unit, it must be connected to a PC running
AquaTel Setup Utility
software.
The
AquaTel Setup Utility
is designed to run under Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP
®
or later on a
stand-alone PC with a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and an available USB 2.0
socket.
Do not connect the AquaTelemetry USB cable to your PC until after the software and
USB driver have been installed.
2.9. Downloading the
PC Software and USB Driver from the Aquaread
®
website
The
AquaTel Setup Utility
Software is available for download using the following link:
http://www.aquaread.com/software-downloads
From the Aquaread
®
Downloads page, select 'AquaTel Setup Utility'. The software will be
downloaded as a .ZIP file.
2.10. Software Installation
Unzip the downloaded .ZIP file into a temporary directory. Browse the temporary directory
and click on ‘
setup.exe
’. You will be given the usual Windows
®
security warnings. Allow the
software to install. Once installed, the
AquaTel Setup Utility
will run automatically.
To communicate with the AquaTelemetry unit, two further software ‘drivers’ need to be
installed. These are the '
AquaTel
' driver and a '
USB Serial Port
' driver.
2.11. Driver Installation
Connect the AquaTelemetry USB cable to your PC. The ‘Found New Hardware’ wizard on
your PC should activate automatically.
Different versions of Windows
®
react to plugging USB devices in differently. Earlier versions
will give you the option to '
locate and install driver software
'. If this happens, direct
Windows
®
to your temporary directory containing the unzipped download.
If your version of Windows
®
tries to search the Internet or 'Windows Update' for the drivers,
stop the search and direct Windows
®
to your temporary directory.
If Windows® reports a problem installing the drivers, go to your Windows® Device
Manager, locate the 'AquaTel' device and update the driver forcing Windows® to search
your temporary directory for the driver. Repeat this process for the USB Serial Port.
