Differences between Vista and XP
The main difference to be aware of is in the sequence of events that occur.
With XP:-
1. On the tester select Data Transfer –> Certificate Data.
2. The connection is made and the tester Bluetooth icon appears.
3. Then you can upload / download certificate data.
But with Vista:-
1. On the tester select Data Transfer –> Certificate Data.
2. The egg-timer appears but there is no connection made.
3. On the PC select Download and open the Com port.
4. Now the connection is made and the tester Bluetooth icon appears.
If the Tester Won’t Connect
Sometimes Vista will re-establish the outgoing COM port and this will occasionally stop the test instrument from
connecting to the PC.
To fix this problem right-click on the “Bluetooth Devices” icon in the notification area. Select “Open Bluetooth
Settings” and select the “COM Ports” tab. Select the Outgoing port and click “Remove”. The test instrument will
now be able to connect.
