VA Database 2.0

Full program and demo version
The 6.2145.030 Dongle is part of the standard equipment of the
6.6016.103 Full Program version and 6.6016.901 Update
version. Install this dongle into LPT port 1 or 2 (see Hardware In-
stallation).
The 6.6016.108 Demo version of VA Database contains only
the software without dongle. This version can be used for 100
days. After this 100 days you may continue to use the program
without the possibility to store determinations to a database. You
can upgrade your demo version at any time if you install a
6.2145.030 Dongle into the LPT port.
Hardware Installation
1. Connect the RS232 interface 1 or the RS232 interface 2 on
the rear side of the 746 VA Trace Analyzer or the 693 VA
Processor to one of the serial COM ports of your PC with the
6.2125.060 RS interface cable (often COM port 1 is already
used by a serial mouse). If the PC has only 9 pin connector,
the 6.2125.010 adapter cable (25 pin to 9 pin) has to be used
in addition.
2. If the PC has one LPT port, install the 6.2145.030 Dongle
into the LPT1 printer port and the printer cable into the

LPT1 port and the 6.2145.030 Dongle into the LPT2 printer
port.
