CDM-VW300 Series Dynamic Vibrating-Wire Analyzers
Procedure:
1. Install DVWTool before connecting the SC-CPI or CDM-VW300 to the
PC. Reference Section 7.1.1, Software and Driver Installation.
2. Before proceeding, follow the procedure outlined in Section 6.1,
Laboratory-Mode Installation for all sensors connected to the CDM-
VW300. Record settings determined in DVWTool for later use in the
CRBasic program. The following work sheet (TABLE 6-2) lists DVWTool
settings and corresponding CRBasic instruction settings, and provides a
place to record settings for one sensor. Copy and fill in this worksheet for
each sensor to be connected.
