NOTE:
For information on installing this feature on your PC, see
Appendix A - PC Meter Connect
™.
Once installed, all you need to do is verify that the PC Meter Con-
nect™ icon is in the system tray (this indicates it is running), and that
there is no red "X" on the icon (which indicates the meter is not de-
teced by the application).
If you connect or disconnect your machine from the PC, messages
display from the PC Meter Connect
™
icon in the system tray:
• "Meter Not Connected" displays when you disconnect your meter
from the PC. The red "x" stays on the icon thereafter.
• "Meter detected" displays when you connect your meter to the PC
(after it had been disconnected). The red "x" disappears.
