Running the software

Provide power to the CAV instrument, and verify serial connections to
the computer. To load your newly-installed VISCPRO

®

software, double-

click on the VISCPRO

®

icon on your Windows

®

desktop (Windows

®

NT

®

users can click Start/All Programs/VISCPRO/VISCPRO 2.0).

If this is an initial installation, and you received a configuration disk with
your installation software package, make certain that the samples.mdb
file has been copied to the sample installation directory (see separate
instruction sheet for sample database location on your computer hard
drive). Your software may have already been preconfigured with instru-
ment settings unique to your instrument, including instrument type(s),
tube ranges and serial #s, and calibration constants. In a moment, we will
verify these settings. Right now, your computer monitor should look
something like this.
