Figure 6-57. Printing from a PC.

STEP 1: INSTALL THE LPV DRIVER ON PC: Run “install_LPV_driv- er.exe” (found on the LPV software CD). This driver is needed for the PC to talk to the LPV (ignore other drivers). The LPV does not need to be connected to the PC for the driver to properly install.

STEP 2: TRANSFERRING TEST READINGS (LPV TO PC):

1.Connect the LPV to a USB port on your PC and turn the LPV ON.

2.Run the “LPV.xls” spreadsheet (found on the LPV software

CD). LPV.xls is itself an Excel spreadsheet that uses built-in Excel macros to transfer the test results to your PC. Run LPV. xls directly from the CD or copy it to your hard drive. Follow the directions on the Excel screen to transfer the readings from the LPV’s printer memory.

3.If you wish, print some or all of the tests (each test prints on a separate sheet). Or e-mail the file to your customer as proof of test.
