IrDA Downloading Cable
The GX-2009 communicates with a computer via an on-board
infrared communication port that complies with IrDA protocol

NOTE: If your computer has a built-in infrared port, you do not
need an adapter cable to download data.
If your computer does not have an infrared port, you will need to
install an IrDA/USB adapter cable on your computer to use the
GX-2009 User Setup Program with your GX-2009. The IrDA/
USB cable is available from RKI Instruments, Inc. See the Spare

the operation or compatibility of the drivers with any particular
device.
