VIII. Software Installation:
Global Logger Installation: This software is for use on Windows based desktop
and laptop computers only. Insert the software installation CD and run the Setup
program in the “Flow Monitor Software” folder. This will install the Global Flow
Monitor application in the Program Files folder and automatically put the Global Flow
Monitor icon on the desktop.
Serial communication (FL16S Only): If you are using the RS-232 serial port to
access the data logger, no further action is needed. You can start using the logger
by opening the Global Logger application program. Skip the next section.
USB Driver Installation (FL16U Only): With the installation CD in the CDROM
drive and DC power applied to the logger, plug the USB cable into the data logger to
open the ADD New Hardware Wizard. The menus that follow will look different for
different operation systems but the procedure is the same. Do not allow the
Hardware Wizard to automatically search for the driver. Instead, specify the
location (CDROM). If a generic driver gets, or has been previously installed, it must
be uninstalled before proceeding by using the Add or Remove Programs section of
the Control Panel. Instead, click the Search External Media box or Specify a
Location box and install the driver from the CDROM. Running the Setup program
that installs the Global Logger software also installs a folder with the driver in it. This
location can also be specified if the CDROM is not available; although, it is
recommended that the driver be installed at the same time the Global Logger is
installed.
FL16U Only
The following menus apply to the
Windows XP operating system.
1) Do not let Windows search
for software. Click “No, not
at this time” when asked if
Windows Update can search
for software.
