2. How to
2.1. Download data from DM-II device.
In order to download a recording into the computer check for the following:
• DM-II is connected to your PC using a standard RS-232 (serial) cable.
• DM-II is turned ON.
• DM-II is in COMM mode. Select COMM under SETUP screen on the DM-II itself and then press ENTER
(red square). The LCD screen of the device should say "Download Ready".
At this point the DM-II is ready to start downloading data to your computer. The next step is to setup the
PC for receiving data from the DM-II.
• Click on File | New. A dialog box such as one shown on [fig.3] will pop up.
• Click on OK to start download.
If you have setup everything correctly the program should have no problem detecting DM-II device and
downloading the data set. If the program fails to commence download or the download terminates
prematurely, please refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.
Note: If at any point of the transmission you would like to abort it, click on Cancel button.
Once the download is successfully completed a Recording Info dialog box shows up [fig.5]. This dialog
box allows you to set extra information about the recording, such as the name of the person making the
recording, location where the recording took place and any additional comments. For more information
about setting this information refer to Change recording information.
In case you have more than one device connected to your PC, the program will detect the one with the
lowest COM port number. For example if you have two devices, one on COM1 and the other on COM2,
the program will detect DM-II on COM1. If you would like to use the second one you should go to
troubleshooting section.
