To use your meter with your comput-
er, you must install the supplied Meter
View software on your computer, then
connect the meter to the computer.
The Meter View software includes in-

tion about the Meter View software's
features. You can read the guide
while Meter View is running, or print a
copy directly to your printer. To read
the guide, click Start, Programs,
Meter View, then select Help.
Follow these steps to install the Meter
View software on your computer.
1. Turn on your computer and start
the installed Windows operating
system (Windows 95, Windows
98, Windows ME, or Windows
2000).
2. Insert the software CD into your
CD-ROM drive. The CD starts
automatically.
Note: If the CD does not start
automatically, make sure the CD-
ROM drive's door is completely
shut. If the CD still does not start,
the auto run option on your com-
puter might be turned off. If this
happens, click My Computer.
The window shows the available
drives on your computer. Then
double-click the icon for your CD-
ROM drive and double-click

ware, restart your computer.

RS-232 cable to the jack on top
of the meter, then connect the
other end to your computer’s
serial port.
Note: The supplied cable fits
only one way. Do not force it.
