Starting the software

Once the software has been activated, all of the instruments on the search
screen will have 'Unscanned' written next to them. In order to scan for the
relevant instruments, the tick boxes to the left of the instrument name must be
selected. After this has been done, clicking 'Search' will look for the
instruments that have been selected. This may take some time, depending on
the number of instruments you have selected.

Once all the instruments have been searched for, all the instruments found
will be shown as 'Available' on the list as shown below.

Next to each of the available instruments is a button, which can be used to
connect to that instrument. Once selected and the instrument has successfully
connected, the 'Available' tag changes to a 'Connected' tag. If 'Connected' is
not shown, the connection attempt has failed and a message will appear
telling you that the connection to the specified instrument has not been
successful as shown below:

If an error occurs when trying to connect to an instrument, the PC is again
scanned for instruments to locate any change in the connection of
instruments.

At the bottom of this screen is a tick box labelled 'Auto-connect at next start
up'.

Selection of this option, provides instrument connection without user
intervention, from the next use of Dataway. By checking this box, the software
will connect to the last available instrument in the displayed list and continue
into the main program. The 'Auto connect' preference can be unspecified on
the Setup screen.

The Search button forces the software to search again for instruments in case
the software has not found a newly added instrument.

The Cancel button exits the software.
Once the instrument has been connected, click on the OK button to continue

into the main application. It is possible to bypass the selection of an
instrument and enter the main software in offline mode by just selecting the
OK button before choosing an instrument to connect to.

Home Tab

The home tab is the screen that welcomes you when you have connected to
an instrument. From here you have access to all other areas of the software.

At the top right of this screen is the Search button. Search allows you to scan
the PC for any instruments that may have been installed since the current
software session began.

The Tabs

Along the top of the screen there is a row of tabs as shown below:

These tabs enable you to access different areas of the software.
