Connecting the NOMEX
Multimeter
CAUTION
Use of USB cables not approved by PTW.
Malfunction!
Only use the USB cables (USB cable L178089
or USB active extension cable L178088) sup-
plied with the NOMEX multimeter to connect it
to the PC. Otherwise, correct communication,
which is the basis for proper operation, cannot
be guaranteed. Do not use more than 4 of the
USB active extension cables with a length of
5 m each.
NOTE
Do not connect more than one NOMEX multi-
meter to the PC because the NOMEX software
can only communicate with the first device it
detects.
Furthermore, the NOMEX software does not
offer the possibility to search for multiple, con-
nected devices and to select the appropriate
device.
•
Connect the NOMEX multimeter (USB port
4
,
) to a USB port of the PC where the
NOMEX software has been installed. To do
so, use one of the supplied USB cables (USB
cable L178089 or USB active extension cable
L178088).
NOTE
The PTW info file "NOMEX_Multimeter.inf" for
the USB driver of the NOMEX multimeter is part
of the NOMEX software. The file is copied to
the folder 'C:\WINDOWS\inf' during the instal-
lation of the NOMEX software.
When you first connect the NOMEX multime-
ter to the PC, the corresponding USB driver is
automatically configured by means of this info
file.
PTW recommends configuring the USB driver
only the first time and selecting automatic con-
figuration.

multimeter does not impair the functioning of
your PC.
