Bluetooth Wireless Mode
If available, the instrument uses Bluetooth
®
technology and can communicate wirelessly with your
computer. Data from the application can be transmitted to/from the instrument. Connecting a
USB cable to the instrument disables the wireless connection.
Many PCs have built in Bluetooth capability. If this is the case with your computer you may use
the built in hardware. If not, we have provided a USB Bluetooth device that you may use.
Refer to the Appendices for instructions on installing the Bluetooth device on both Windows XP
and Windows 7.
