Start ProbeView Laser
1. Start ProbeView Laser. Click Start, All Programs, ProbeView, and
then click ProbeView Laser.
2. Verify the communications port. Connecting the HI-6113 Laser Data
Interface to a USB port automatically assigns the communication port
number. To change which communication port is assigned to the
HI-6113:
 Plug the HI-6113 into a USB port on the computer.
 Open the Device Manager.
 Click Ports (COM & LPT).
 Click the name of the USB device.
 Click the Port Settings tab.
 Click Advanced.
 Click COM Port Number and select the desired COM port.
 Click OK, and then click OK.
If the communications port is not set up, the software will indicate the
default port is not correct. See Communications Menu on page 31 for
information on selecting the correct port.
3. Receive information from the Field Probe. Click the start button
located on the right side of the menu bar. Some of the LEDs on the
HI-6113 flash as information transfers to the HI-6113. When complete,
a message will indicate that the Field Probe is connected, and field
readings will display.
Select the bar graph icon on the menu to change the peak graph to the
manual commands menu. The area is used to control the HI-6113, and
includes additional commands and system information.
4. ProbeView Laser will continue to look for a Field Probe until one is
detected. Automatic testing will be done to determine the type of Field
Probe that is attached. If the HI-6113 is connected to the selected
communication port, the LEDs on the HI-6113 will flash.
