Computer Settings
To run the YourVIEW software properly, specify the general
Windows settings by selecting Start - Settings - Control Panel -
Regional Settings and check that the items below are as follows:
- Date format: yy-MM-dd
- Time format: HH:mm:ss
- Decimal delimiter (decimal symbol): . (a period)
The Data Socket protocol uses the TCP/IP data transfer protocol,
which must be installed as well. Normally, the TCP/IP protocol is
installed during the basic Windows installation, but if it is not
installed, you will find it on the Windows Installation CD.
With these settings, the LabVIEW function, which converts String to
Number, will work properly when parsing the received data messages.
NOTE It is recommended that you do not use a screen saver.
Hardware Installation
For communications, YourVIEW uses the standard serial ports of the
PC. The default port is COM1. The default line settings are: 9600, 8,
1, N. For instructions on how to connect the maintenance terminal
cable between the device and your computer, see the applicable
manuals.

1. Click the Start button on the taskbar.
2. Select Programs - Yourview - Yourview.exe.
When starting YourVIEW for the first time, the software
registration window opens, see Figure 2 on page 13.
