3.4 Using a PC to Retrieve Test Shots from the CT-3500 S2
The CT-3500 S2 can be connected to a PC, and test records can be retrieved from the unit using
the included Vanguard Universal Software (VUS, version 2.05 and above). Follow the steps
below to properly connect the CT-3500 S2 and configure the VUS application to recognize the
unit.
a. Install the Vanguard Universal Software.
b. Connect the CT-3500 S2 to the PC by connecting a USB cable from an open USB port on
the PC to the unit’s “USB PC” port.
c. Turn on the power on the CT-3500 S2.
d. If this is the first time you are connecting the unit to the PC, Windows will recognize it as
a new device and automatically install necessary drivers. If using Windows XP, you may
be prompted to install drivers. Select the automatic installation option and Windows will
locate the generic drivers necessary.
e. Please note that although the unit is connected via USB, it uses an internal serial
interface to communicate with the PC. As such, it will appear in the windows Device
Manager as a USB Serial Port. Open the Device Manager from the Windows Control
Panel and note the COM port number. For example, in the installation shown below, the
CT-3500 S2 is shown as COM10 (USB Serial Port).
