CD, run the SETUP.EXE from the Confi gXP folder and follow the on-screen prompts.
The fi rst time you start Confi gXP, you must select the communications port to be used. From the drop down box under the
Connect button
and choose
Auto
to have Confi gXP automatically detect your gauge, or select an appropriate COM port for your computer.
Select a port to connect to an XP2i pressure gauge.
Click the

unit.
