13.3 Communicating with DFX-8
DakView will not directly communicate with the DFX-8 series gauges. The DFX-8 is
equipped with USB, acting as a Thumb Drive (external storage device) when
connected to a computer and powered on. Therefore, the SD memory card(s) can be
opened as a drive with directory structure, similar to the C: on your computer. The
files stored on the internal S
D, or external SD reader, can be simply copied (dragged)
into any folder on your PC and opened using DakView. The PC software will
function on as a file viewer for the DFX-8 series gauges.

setup, and operation.
