5.1 Software Install
Software Installation:
Insert the SpotOn Consistometer Software CD in the computer’s CD
drive. This should automatically start a software install wizard on the
PC. Follow the steps on the install wizard to install the software.
Once the software is installed the CD will run a program that installs
the driver for the USB cable. This will be seen as a small “command
prompt” window that will flash on the screen for a few seconds. When
this is finished the install process is complete and the software and
USB cable should be ready to use.
Note: If there is a problem installing the software then locate the
SpotOn Setup.exe
on the CD and right click on it, then select
windows compatibility mode and run as XP compatible.
USB Cable Installation:
The meter has a data port for connection to a computer via a special
USB cable that was provided with the meter. This cable requires a
driver be installed on the computer for proper operation. The
software CD that comes with the meter will automatically install this
driver when installing the meter’s software as described above.
PLEASE NOTE: Don’t plug this USB cable into the computer until
after the software has been installed. If it is plugged in before the
install please remove it and CANCEL all requests by the “New
Hardware Wizard”.
