receiving window of the Base Unit. Separation requirements between the
meter and Base Unit are anywhere from 0 to 12 in.
Operation:
1. Begin by starting the Delmhorst Universal Application Program (double click
the application icon, or chose the program from the Start Menu).
2. Once the RDM
3
and Base Unit are lined up and the Base Unit is connected to
a USB port (a green LED should be lit), select the IR Link option in the Main
Menu. The meter will display the message “Linking…” for a few seconds,
followed by “Link OK” when successful communication was established with
the Base Unit. The Base Unit will also indicate communication established by
turning off the green LED and turning on a red LED.
3. Press the “Manage Data” button in the Delmhorst Universal Application
Program. The meter will display “Data” on the screen and the Base Unit will
alternately turn on a yellow and red LED while data transfer takes place (red
indicates communication between the meter and Base Unit, while yellow
indicates communication between the Base Unit and the PC). When finished,
the meter will return to the Main Menu and the Base Unit will, once again, turn
on its green LED. For further details on managing the meter data in the PC
please refer to the HELP feature in the program.
NOTE: The above sequence of events in initiating communication between
the PC and the meter is not mandatory. The Application Program may be
started first, or the IR Link may be selected first. The Manage Data button
may also be pressed before communication is started between the Base Unit
and the meter. The meter, Base Unit and Application Program all have ample
delays built in to allow the other link components to come online in any
sequence.
