Setting Up the Configuration Software for Use With Your Handheld PDA
The Configuration Software enables you to communicate with the ST50/ST75 Flowmeter through the IrDA wireless link or the
use of a RS232 cable. The Configuration Software loads into a Palm OS based PDA.
The IR connection provides the convenience of not having to open the ST50/ST75 and connect a cable to access its information.
