SetUP of CoMMUniCAtion
before you can start using RaySafe Xi View together with your instrument, you need to set up a communication
link between your computer and the instrument.
there are two ways for the instrument to communicate with a PC:
• Via the RS-232 cable to the PC. if the PC has only USb ports, the supplied standard adapter
converting RS-232 to USb must be used.
• Via a bluetooth module connected directly to the serial port on the instrument. A PC with
built-in or external USb bluetooth normally works after the required “Setup of bluetooth
communication” on page 6.
Figure 1. Xi View Settings window, COM port selection highlighted.
Connect the instrument to the computer and turn the instrument on.
Start RaySafe Xi View. in the menu file – Settings, select the CoM port to which your instrument is connected
(see figure 1).
tip! Test your connection by choosing Info – Xi View test from the SetUp MeNU in the Base Unit. A
test value will appear in the Xi View main window if the connection test was successful.
