1. On your PC, use Control Panel to verify that the Microsoft .Net Framework is installed:
- Windows XP: use Control Panel and Add or Remove Programs
- Vista or Windows 7: Control Panel > Programs and Features.
If the framework is not already installed, install it from the HW4 CD. Note that you will need to restart
your PC after installing the framework.
2. Install the HW4 software
3. Make sure that HW4 is not running. Connect the HC2-AW-USB probe to a USB port of your PC.
Check that the red LED on top of the probe is lit. This indicates that the probe is being powered. If
necessary, power the probe by pressing once on the red button located on top of the probe. When
the red LED is not lit, the probe is not powered and the PC is not receiving a signal from the probe.
When asked by Windows point to the ROTRONIC USB driver (located in the HW4 installation folder,
subfolder USB_driver)
