Setting up the Pathfinder System
Use this section to connect the Pathfinder to a computer and establish communications. Install the TRDI
Toolz software in order to communicate with the Pathfinder.
Computer and Software Considerations
The Pathfinder system includes the utility program TRDI Toolz to help set up, use, test, and troubleshoot
the Pathfinder. Use this program to “talk” to the Pathfinder and to run script files (see
send the Commands to the Pathfinder
). For detailed information on how to use
TRDI Toolz, see the TRDI Toolz Help file.
TRDI designed the Pathfinder to use a Windows® compatible computer. Table 8
lists the minimum com-
puter requirements.
TRDI highly recommends downloading and installing all of the critical updates, recommended
updates, and the service releases for the version of Windows® being used prior to installing
any TRDI software.
