To setup your SP325 or TP325 you’ll need to be at your PC.
1. Install DicksonWare v.11 or higher Software on your PC.
a. Windows 98 or higher is required.

the version by choosing Help and About from the menu bar.
c. To install and start DicksonWare Software onto your PC, insert the CD into the CD drive. Installation
will start automatically.
2. Connect the cable (supplied with the software) to the logger and to a working USB port on your PC
a. When using the USB connection, your computer may detect the logger when the logger is powered
on and connected to the computer via the USB connection. Depending on your version of Windows,
the computer may go through and Add New Hardware routine. (A computer restart is not required)
3. To setup your logger, launch DicksonWare by double clicking on the DicksonWare icon.
a. Click on the large SETUP Icon. A window will pop up asking you to select either a Serial or USB
