and start taking measurements.

run GyroView successfully:

2.2 Connections
The DMU is shipped with a cable to connect the DMU to a PC COM port
via RS422 to RS232 converter.
1. Connect the 22-pin end of the digital signal cable to the port on the
DMU.
2. Connect the 9-pin end of the cable to the serial port of your
computer via RS422 to RS232 converter (not included).
3. The additional black and red wires on the cable supply power to
the DMU. Match red to (+) power and black to (-) ground. The
input voltage supply for the VG700M should be 16 - 32 VDC.
The current draw is <0.25 A at 28 VDC. See the specifications for
your unit.
