available serial port. It is helpful to know the COM port number but not necessary. Plug
in the download cable to the computer and the 3100 unit. Make sure the are fully plugged
in. The connection to the 3100 unit is not forgiving so make sure it is plugged in all the
way. Now click on the button with the number “3” on it.

Click the Find button. This will prompt the software to start looking for your 3100 unit.
When the software finds the unit, the Port will say ASSIGNED. If the software does not
find the unit, check your connections and make sure the green light on the unit is on.

If you want the data that is stored in the 3100 unit to be erased after the download, then
check the checkbox that says “Erase logged data after download”.

Click the download button and your tracking data should start downloading. You will be
prompted to save the data on your computer. Make sure you know where you are saving
the data for future reference. For example, in your “My Documents” folder.
